Let me first start off by saying I realize Travelodge is not a higher end hotel and that this is the off season. With that being said, I would never stay here again. We picked this location because they are pet friendly.

When you walk into the lobby, there is an immediate musty smell. The tables for breakfast are set up there. About 8 tables crammed into a little space. Front desk staff were friendly and they did allow us to check in two hours early. They also immediately supplied us with extra towels since there were three in the room and only towels for two.

The rooms left much to be desired. As soon as we walked in, the musty odor hit us in the face. We wrote this off to maybe the room had not been used in awhile. Now for the rest of the room....The curtains were torn, the bedspreads were beyond worn, the mattresses sunk to the middle, hot water was virtually non-existent, the furniture was worn and the room was dirty. There were papers behind the dresser and I don't think they had ever pulled anything out to vacuum under or behind it.

As for the continental breakfast, this left much to be desired. We arrived in the lobby at approximately 7:45. There were three donuts, a couple of pieces of bread, two triangles of frozen waffles, bagels that were wet (assuming this was from being frozen) and apples that had rotten spots in them. Needless to say, we passed and went down the street and ate breakfast. When we arrived back at the hotel, there was a family of four eating from what was there and not a thing had been replenished.

I’ll end by saying, the dog was happy. They did have a jar of dog biscuits at the front desk.

Just finished a most enjoyable stay at the Travelodge in Kill Devil Hills. I found clean accomodations, very friendly people and really excellent beds. Not often can you say you slept great at a hotel...but they have wonderful beds here. I have stayed at alot of OBX hotels but this one will be the one and only going forward.

I first stayed at this hotel in September 2009 and was greatly impressed with it that I decided to stay again during a recent visit to the Outer Banks. The is place provides a great value for your money. Although it is not an oceanfront property, the hotel is located on Beach Road across from the beach (as well as a public access point). It is a very quick walk to the ocean. The rooms are not very large, but they do have a balcony as well as a fridge, ironing board and microwave. The linens and furnishings are clean and comfortable. Free wi-fi and cable TV are also provided along with the typical continental breakfast. The hotel also has a very nice lagoon-style pool with a few palm trees for those looking to avoid the crowded beach or take in an evening swim. This is also sone of the few hotels in the area that allows pets, which could be good or bad depending on your view. But even with the pets, the place is still very quiet and I got a good nights rest. Both times I stayed the check-in was very fast and the service was excellent. There are several restaurants and stores within a very short distance. Also across the highway is the Wright Brothers memorial. Although there are countless other hotels on the Outer Banks, I'd much rather stay here again than anyplace else while visiting the area. I'm already looking forward to staying again on my next trip down there.

The first room we had was absolutely filthy. Food on the carpet at the bed's edge. Behind the headboard was dirt and dust that had obviously been there for quite a long time. The first evening 2 spiders fell from the ceiling onto my bed. The next afternoon a palmetto bug as big as Shamu was crawling up the wall. At that point I went to check out as I couldn't stand it anymore. I was told that I had already been charged for the 2nd night since it was after 11:00 a.m. and he coudln't refund my money. He said I could call the manager on Monday (this was Thursday). In addition to the bug problems, the dated wallpaper in the bathroom was coming off the wall and was moldy..Grout in tub area was alsmot black it was so dirty. Nasty. We were moved to another room, which we inspected before agreeing to move. It was much nicer....clean, bathroom looked like it had been freshly painted. Tub area was very clean. The remainder of our stay was very nice. I appreciate that they are pet friendly as we were traveling with ours. I don't expect 5 Star at the price we were paying. However, I do expect clean. The front desk man tried explaining that since it was the off season, that they don't have enough cleaning staff. If that is the case, then the owner and manager should get their hands dirty and clean up the place. If you don't have the staff to keep it clean, then close it for the off season. Don't make your paying guests suffer because of understaffing.
