Not bad for the price

Over all not bad. But, we were not notified before arriving that pool was under repair. One of the vanity lights over the bathroom sink was out and no light over the kitchenette area to see. Also, the parking area is really tight and not very easy to get turned around and get out. It did have a nice big tv.

Excellent Service, Great Location

I inadvertently scheduled my reservation for Sunday, April 20th instead of Saturday, April 19th. They were able to find me a room on a holiday weekend. The location is oceanfront with its own beach access. The bed was comfortable, the room modern. The only issue I had was that I cold not adjust the temperature to what I wanted. The AC works very well, but I'm old and prefer somewhere are 72 degrees. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Nags Head.
