We stopped in this motel to spend one night. The front desk staff were pleasant and checked us in and out without problem. The room was clean, comfortable. Loved that there were plenty of outlets for charging phones, cameras, computer! Usual breakfast offerings, but instead of a waffle maker, there was an automatic pancake maker! That was a first for...

Attended a wedding in the Outer Banks over the weekend of 4/26 - 4/29/13 and found that most of the hotels were sold out. It was Biker Week! Ended up at this property and had a very nice experience. Staff was friendly; room was very clean and well attended too; and the free breakfast buffet (by no means "healthy") was... More

This hotel was clean and quiet. Luckily I was not there to beach it as it is a tricky walk through a couple of abandoned lots and over a highway before you get to the beach. There is no sidewalk or public access. I just had major surgery and was disappointed to find the walk so difficult. However the hotel... More

We stopped at theKitty Hawk Holiday Inn Express while on our anniversary driving trip. While making the reservation, I mentioned it was our 37th anniversary. When we arrived at our room the next evening a lovely vase of fresh roses greeted us. The congratulatory card was from the Inn's staff. In addition to a comfortable, clean, well-appointed room, the Kitty... More

Older hotel, clean rooms, great heater! Pillows very comfy! The mini fridge was so cold that my leftovers were slightly frozen the next day, good thing there was also a microwave. Iron and ironing board came in handy. Breakfast wasn't much to write home about, but not bad. Front desk staff was helpful. Great location.

Though this hotel is not on the beach like some houses you may rent, there is a short and sandy path through the back to the beach entry across the street. There is also a pool in front of the hotel, complete with sand showers to rid your feet of the grimy feeling. Breakfast is standard and a nice bonus... More

Stayed here for the second year to run the OBX half marathon. The staff is very nice and very accommodating to the early risers for the race. The rooms are musty and dim and could be updated to brighten the room. The air was stuffy and our side door key didn't work most of the time.

A great location - right off the highway and short trail to the beach, walk to restaurants, nice staff, great price but.... needs renovation. It reminds me of a ski hotel - it gets a lot of heavy use and it shows.
