My husband and I traveled to Nags Head for a wedding two weeks ago. We chose to stay at Nags Head Inn because it was just steps from the wedding venue. When we arrived, there were two women at the desk. One woman (Anna, I believe), was very nice and asked us for an ID and credit card. The other woman at the desk said at that time, "you know not to ask VIP's for their credit card, right?" Well, I am obviously not a VIP, but that was still a very rude comment to make right in front of me. What a way to start out a trip by having one of the desk clerks say something like that to make you feel unimportant. When we got to our room, it smelled heavily of air freshener, and once the air freshener settled, the room took on a sweat-like odor. We got an oceanfront room, but really it wouldn't have mattered if we had gotten a street view because when you step out onto the balcony, the first thing you see is not the ocean, but a huge parking lot. I am just glad we were only there for one night, because I would have been devastated to have had to stay any longer than that.We will not be back to this hotel.

This hotel is a great place to stay when at the Outer Banks. The hotel was completely remodeled back in 2009 and it looks great! The staff is all very friendly & are like family. The continental breakfast is good with sweet potato & sweet potato and ham biscuits made fresh daily by Kelly's restaurant right down the street. The rooms are very clean and the bathrooms as well. The price was great compared to others on Virginia Dare Trail and they always seem to have some type of special. The pool is small but nice indoors and heated and a newer hot tub also is included. The only con I have is there are no sliding screen doors in the rooms allowing the nice weather and ocean smell to come in. I was advised the reason is because of the salt air corroding them and the need to replace them. I found a website that may help with that issue. http://www.backyardamerica.com/screen_wire.htm
There is screen that will stand up to the salt air and ocean and I really think by having them will be a plus for this very fine hotel. It will also help cut down on the fly and mosquito's that are always buzzing around. Also the Wi-Fi is very strong to keep in touch with family and friends and the new flat screen TV's with Direct TV was great as well. Last of all are the beds. I wish I could have taken that king size bed home with me. It was VERY comfortable!
along with the couch by the ocean windows.
My advise? This is a great place for your visit to the Outer Banks.

I stopped and checked out several hotels in the Nqgs Head area and choose this one. We did no have reservations but were promptly checked in. We choose a king size bed on the 5th floor on the ocean side. The view was great and the room was clean and well maintained. The hotel grounds were also clean and modern. There is a small pool and a jacuzzi that I used that was great after a day on the beach. The hotel also gives out fee passes to the YMCA which was exceptional. The staff was friendly and gave suggetions on what to do while in the area. The location next to the beach was great and there is easy access to and from the parking lot. He internet connection worked well in all areas of the hotel.
I normally travel off season and go to Mexico. This was a quick vacation to the outer banks area and felt this was a great place for a quick getaway. Hard to believe that it got any bad reviews. Plan to return here again if rooms are available.

We stayed at the Nags Head Hotel last week and unfortunately had to cut our trip short due to Hurricane Irene. We found the hotel to be very clean with an excellent location. It is just a very short walk to a beautiful beach. It is close to the Dunes and other tourist attractions. Lots of good restaurants within a few miles of the hotel. The view from the rooms facing the beach is nice but the parking lot behind the hotel takes away from the beauty of the beach. Also found the continental breakfast to be lacking. The sweet potato and ham biscuits are just so so. A little more variety would help such as cereal etc. All in all a very good experience. Please keep the stay 3 nights and get the 4th night free or even something shorter like stay 2 nights and get a 3rd night free.
