''the people who own this place go out of their way to servr you. they made us feel at home, the room was very clean, and had everything we needed....''

''True Outer Banks atmosphere...have stayed there several times and keep coming back.Rooms are adequate and clean with a great staff.Shopping and nightlife are close by.One day drive from Canada makes it a great option to Florida for me....''

''THIS PLACE IS AWFUL!!!! Our family had a reservation there for our family vacation. We expected a nice peaceful hotel, but we were wrong! As soon as we got there, we searched through the streets of Manteo for anything but this hotel! Thank Goodness we found somewhere else so much nicer!...''

''Had a horrible odor in the room and a general feeling of not being clean. We only stayed one night and checked out to go to the Comfort Inn down the road which was much nicer....''

''i have been staying at the falcon since i was 18 years old (46 years old now)and have been telling people about the best motel on the outer banks every year. and had people come back and tell me that it was as i discribed and they have been going every year....''

''It was affordable, the facilities were great, and when they saw it was four high school senior girls on a trip, the manager designated himself our surrogate father for the week. They were great!...''

''Really unsure when i reserved the villa, but on such short notice really no choice, however when i arrived my husband and i were really impressed nice a really quaint place and sooo peaceful plan to bring the whole family next time...''

''most of the other reviews are accurate - this is indeed an old motel that needs renovation. but its in a great area and is extremely affordable ($150 is affordable for peak season in the OBX) - especially with limited pet-friendly options in the nag's head area. its right on the beach and close to restaurants and attractions. the SUPER friendly and accomodating staff makes up for the basic rooms and pool area. i'd recommend it if you're a low-maintanence person just looking for a place to crash...''

''I took my son and mother down for a long weekend over Memorial Day this year. We stayed ocean front for less than we could have stayed a block away at many other locations. We could leave the front door or curtains of our three bedroom suite open and see the waves rolling in. There are fancier rooms, but why pay more when the rooms are clean, well furnished and right on the beach? The staff was friendly and we had no complaints. Will stay again....''

''The Cape Hatteras Motel is great. My husband & I started going down in 1987 when our daughters were young. We have watched the change of not only the beach, but also the buildings at this location. One thing hasn't changed - the service and helpfulness of the staff there. The view from the oceanside buildings can't be beat and the pool and hot tub are quite relaxing....''

''Convenient, CLEAN, economic, courteous -- and a sense of Island hospitality. We've stayed here repeatedly and also rented their cottages... the best bargains on the Island. We just keep going back....''

''This was our first stay at the Tar Heel and we were very satisfied with our stay. The room was very clean and roomy. The bathroom also was very clean.
The pool was nice and clean also. The service was great. I would recommend this motel to my friends and to anyone who is looking for a nice clean place to stay.
There was a stairway to the ocean right across the beach road. Good location....''

''We have stayed at the Outer Banks Motel for the last 5 years. We come to Buxton 2 times a year. The rooms and service are the best. We have not had a hard time making reservations, even if we call a week in advance....''

''We've never stayed at the motel, but the gift shop is very, very nice! There's a great selection of clothing (though a bit pricey), but on the other side of the store is a good variety of items. After reading the glowing reviews of the motel, we'll give it a try next time we visit Ocracoke....''

''Locality & price the best we found. We liked the fact that it was a short walk to the waterfront and retaurants were convenient to the motel. It was a great place to stay....''

''It was the only hotel I could get last minute reservations at for the weekend before the 4th of July. On the plus side, the location is convenient; it is right across the street from the harbor. The room we stayed in was roomy and it had a small refrigerator and microwave oven. On the minus side, the air conditioner was noisy and outside the window was a refrigerated trailer for the restaurant across the street. Also, the hot water trended to come and go when in the shower. Overall, not bad for...''

''The Salvo Inn Motel is just about the most basic room you can get. It seems to be a very old rooming house. After checking in at the office, you follow a drive into a residential area. The motel is on your left, the biggest building there amongst the houses. My room contained a king size bed, a small refrigerator, a small microwave, a cable tv mounted from the ceiling and a bathroom with a full bath and shower. It was shabbily decorated but a decent value. I recommend it for a weekend but a week...''

''I have only stayed at Sea Kove once. But the visit and convienence were as good as any.
They don't offer a bar or lounge but I was there for fun, surf and fishing. The units are clean and affordable. The owners are the best I have ever met. Your experience here will be reminiscent of the past and a prerequisite for future visits. You are centrally located to shopping centers, restaurants and most importantly the water. Great pier fishing is just a few minutes away....''

''I'm a bargain shopper; sometimes I have to expect less of a hotel in order to save money. I didn't expect to find a great deal right on the beach, but the Quality Inn far exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and in great condition, the staff was very courteous and friendly, the view of the ocean was incredible, and I didn't even break my budget.
We did go just before the beginning of the tourist season, and many of the rooms were being renovated (new carpet, furniture, and fixtures)....''

''We stay at the Cavalier every year in Ocotber and found it to be wonderful....no frills, just wonderful. Staff is excellent and right on the ocean is such a rare thing to find....''

''My husband, son and I stayed for 3 nights in July and we loved it! Very clean rooms for an older motel, right on the beach, next to the fishing pier and the staff were so nice. The pool was also nice. The parking is tight other than that we will stay here again....''

''I enjoy staying at the Ebb Tide. It is a cozy, quiet motel with beach access and a pool. You can't beat the value and atmosphere. It is my motel of choice on the the Outer Banks....''

''We just got back from a visit to Ocracoke and loved the Sanddollar. The rates are very affordable and found the staff to be very friendly. The hotel is very clean and family friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel....''
