I'm from the area but my friends hadn't been in years so we decided to take a quick overnight trip. This hotel was an excellent choice. The back porches on the ocean front rooms are perfect for the location -- when I go to the beach I want to relax and I definitely got a chance to. The staff was... More

The location & reasonable pricing at the John Yancey Inn is what attracted us to select this Inn. The John Yancy Inn is actually housed in three separate structures; the Sea Building, Four Seasons Building and the Main Building. We stayed in the Four Seasons building. Room was in adequate repair and clean. The grounds at the John Yancey Inn... More

I was alittle hesitant to book the room since it wasn't part of a big chain, at least not one that I know. However I thought it was very nice and would stay again in the future. We stayed in the tower building, forgot the name already. We got the cheapest standard room. We were on our way south to... More

I agree with most other timely comments - the property is dated, probably was nice 30 years ago and reminded me of the 2-story motels dotting most ocean towns during the 1960s. Wifi was supposedly available, but wouldn't very well for us. We had a bottom floor room in the Four Seasons building - which was oceanfront, but the view... More

We were in room #523. Room was clean and linens were good. This is an older hotel but it seems like the owner is in the process of making some repairs. Had issue with toilet not cutting off but it was addressed and taken care of the same day. Great access to the beach. Continental breakfast was on par with... More

August 11-14, 2011 we stayed at this hotel because it appeared to be in the center of the Outer Banks area. Cleanliness was so, so, glad I always carry Lysol with me. Old property, we stayed in the beach front room on the third floor. Stair covers coming off steps and the elevator was slow. To get into the building... More

Stayed at this Inn a week ago for 2 nights. Like most of the hotels in the area, it is an older inn...nothing fancy but we found it to be just what we needed..clean, convenient, and right on the ocean. Breakfast was on first floor..pastries, bagels,waffles, fruit ,cereal, oatmeal, milk, juices,coffee. Pretty tasty. Best part of stay here..employees were so... More

It was right on the beach, the room was huge and had a kitchenette and the bathroom was clean. Maid service was prompt and they left everything clean and organized. We used the laundry facilities as well-known clean and worked great. I stepped out of my room, turned left and walked about 10-15 feet and I was on the beach.... More

After driving 14 hours they didn't have the room I booked and paid for. While I was standing at the check in desk another customer came in and turned in a loaded hand gun he found under the mattress in his room ( which the cleaning staff should have found when cleaning the room). Cleaning staff let my niece into... More

They had a room ready for us at 1. Tis was good as we drove through the night. The desk manager was extremey friendly. The... More
