We stayed at this motel over Labor Day Weekend, 2 adults, 2 kids. I wasn’t sure what to expect due to some of the reviews. We had a poolside room with 2 double beds. This is an older hotel and it showed but not necessarily in a bad way. The rooms were very small, no coffee pot, no phone. Bathroom... More

We stayed at Ocean House over Labor day weekend. I came with modest expectations based on other reviews. First, the price is excellent for the area. We had a poolside room with 2 queen beds. The room was snug, but the two of us had plenty of room to move around. The rooms have the larger "dorm-size" mini-fridges, a microwave,... More

A no frills hotel, no coffeepot, no phone (I don't remember seeing a phone), no plug in the tub, and a very small tv (13 inches?). It was clean, on beach front and pet friendly. Our problem was our bill - when we called they gave my husband an amount of $500.00 INCLUDING a charge for our dog. Our dog... More

We were only going to be in OBX for one night and chose this place based on reviews, they were close to where my brother was staying and they allowed dogs (and with no extra fee or deposit!). The good: Our room was SPOTLESSLY clean. And, despite the motel's age, it was clear that the owners put a lot of... More

This motel is far from luxurious. It's old and small. The most impotent thing is the room was clean and smelled clean. Decent sized frig and a working microwave. Pool old, but clean. If you don't like sleeping on a rock solid bed bring your own cushion. I had the worst sleep the first night but went and bought a... More

I was very happy with my stay. It was a "mom & pop" hotel which was exactly what I wanted. Comes with a LARGE fridge and microwave. Rooms were very clean. Location was perfect, about 40 yards from the beach! I won't look anywhere else for a room. When I come back to the OBX I will definately stay here... More

I urge you not to waste your money! So many things you expect from a motel room, this one did not have: working faucet, wastepaper basket, working lamp, clock, phone, hair dryer, more than one key, a clean pool, ice machine, etc. In addition, the television was 14 inches, and the closet was literally a whole in the wall, much...

I am so glad that we took a chance on this motel. The rooms are not spectacular by any means. Ours had two beds, a shower (no bathtub),sink, a mini fridge, a microwave, a table with two chairs, cable tv, and free wifi. I wasn't a fan of the firm mattress so next time we stay there i plan to... More

Okay first of all if you want the big nice hotels then stick to a chain, if you don't mind the old charm of OBX then the locally owned hotels are for you. Yes the bathroom was small and the rooms didn't have everything you want. I would like a lamp in the room instead of just the overhead light... More
