Never stayed in a motel as bad as this one! First room w declined because of filth and strong mold/mildew smell. The second room was better although I still wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. Overpriced and under kept! Best to sleep in you vehicle. More

I was told they had just renovated, but the rooms, hallways, etc. were still under construction. You can get a far better place to stay for the same amount of money. It's very shabby. More

We booked a very poor room at a local motel. I was able to get my money back. I tried to rebook at other hotels but all were full. There was a softball tournament in town. I called this place and got the last available room. I probably would not make this my first pick, but I really enjoyed my... More

It's right on the beach and it allows my dog. It's not the Ritz, but rooms are well maintained for a Quality Inn that's Oceanside. Microwave & fridge in every room are great. Weekends yummy waffles for breakfast. More

This was my second stay at the John Yancey Inn. The rooms have been renovated and look great. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is nice and attentive to your needs. The location is ideal, as it it on the beach and there are plenty of restaurants and activities nearby. I will definitely be staying here again! More

I purely dislike giving bad reviews, but there was little I could draw out of the John Yancey except of the fact that it is one of the few hotels on the Outer Banks which allow pets. If you decide to stay here, do it for the love of your furry friend, and the pleasure of watching them enjoy the... More

We stayed here on April 7th while heading down to Hatteras island. We loved our oceanfront room, a tough thing to find when traveling with pets. Great time just sitting outside the room and looking at the water. Hotel is clean and they are still renovating some areas. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to going back... More

The long Easter weekend started out OK. The room was small, but that was fine. The view was directly on the ocean, so that was great. We learned first that the air/heat unit made a racket that would wake the dead, so we had to turn it off. Shortly after settling in, i started caughing and couldn't stop. Yeah, I... More

I went against my better judgement and decided to take my family to this inn. The only draw was the ocean front room that opened right out into the sandy beach. We booked the ocean front, N/S, pet friendly room in the sea building. We really did love the view and the beach access which helped us to overlook the... More
