8/10 Good
"I was very happy with how clean our room was. This was probably the most important thing for me. The A/C was cold although i did have to run it full blast all week to keep up, but it never got hot in my room. All the drains actually drained which hasn’t been the case at other places i have stayed. The hotel staff seemed friendly when i spoke to them but we didn’t really need anything from them while we were there. The hotel definitely shows some age from years of being on the beach but it seemed everything worked well that needed to. We didn’t eat at the hotel diner but the live music was tempting and seemed like a good time. This wasn’t a new flashy hotel but served the purpose well for our stay. The beachfront access was super convenient and helpful. Overall I would choose it again if i needed somewhere stay while at OBX"
