"It was my third time staying at this hotel. All in all it’s a great location. In walking distance to the pier, small grocery store, directly in front of hotel, and a very short walk to the best breakfast in Nagshead. The only real complaint I have is the person above my room stomping around hours in the evening and hours in the morning. Will never stay there again if I can’t get a room without someone above me."
