Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed on the beach side, which had great access to the beach. The room was clean and the property was in a great location."

Blue Heron Motel

2/10 Terrible

"The description of this place is incorrect. When we got there it was not what we expected. The hotel staff refused to help. Expedia was unwilling to help. After multiple attempts to get the ownership and Expedia to make it right, they both said it was my fault for booking a room with a kitchen that did not actually have one when we showed up. The room was very dirty. Hair on tables and floor. The back door did not lock and the bathroom door would not close. This place is a dump and the ownership is terrible. I will definitely be arguing with Expedia about this. Picture of what they say is a kitchen with full size refrigerator and cooktop."

Colonial Inn Motel

8/10 Good

"We were there for one night. Our room had direct access to the beach which was nice. We didn't use the fire pit or pool Staff was pleasant. No issues with parking. We were able to walk to some restaurants. Only issue was the bathroom. It was clean but had issues with shower curtain rod staying up and slow sink drain. Just as we were leaving a staff member was going to room to fix issues. "
