Hotel location was superb for visiting the attractions of Roanoke and a good base for the northern OBX. Room rates are affordable the staff friendly and helpful. When I reported a dripping faucet, the maintenance guy was there to fix it in under five minutes. Our room was clean, albeit small. but as other reviewers have mentioned, dark and gloomy.... More

Friendly accommodating staff, but rooms are dated. Our bed was comfortable although the plastic mattress covering that could be felt through the sheets and pad. It made for a slippery sleep experience. Staff was helpful in resolving issues - turned on refrigerator and found plug for lamp. We didn't use indoor pool or exercise room, but they would be a...

We stayed at a few places in Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills and Manteo, and found the staff at the Elizabethan Inn very friendly and extremely accommodating. The rooms were nicely appointed, and the fitness center and indoor pool offer relaxation between activities and during inclement weather.

Used to be "The Place" when our children were small. Through the years quality went down, rates went up during several change of owners. Decided to give the "old place" another chance. Made a good decision. Virginia, desk clerk, extremely accomodating....big plus. Room rate much cheaper than beach motels......another big plus for us seniors. Room 540 was our choice, away... More

Had pleasant stay but Motel is old and outdated, Rooms were ample and clean, a slight hint of "must" in the room, beds were acceptable for my back issues. No breakfast and being on end of Island it is a ways to go for eating when traffic is heavy, ask for rooms in the rear to take road noise away..... More

Cute from the outside with lots of potential, but old and not especially clean on the inside. My family and I had a Sunday check in for our rental house, but wanted to use the whole weekend. We decided to stay here so we could do all the Roanoke activities the first two days of our trip. Pros- close to... More

All of our beds are queens or kings. We do not have "full size" beds anywhere in this hotel. They all have NEW Serta or equivalent mattresses and box springs, so we know that there are no "springs that are squished on one side". Our housekeepers are the best on the Outer Banks!

Stayed here for 2 weeks whilst working in the area. The outside is unique and easily identifyable, you'll know it when you see it. Some parts of the hotel were a bit shabby and in need of a bit of refurbishment, however the rooms were clean and serviced daily to a good standard. What sets this hotel apart is the... More

Thank you for your kind remarks. We thoroughly enjoyed having your group stay with us. I imagine because the location of the conference room is not obvious, it was assumed that one was not available, but we do have one that will hold up to 50 people. We are concerned about the areas that you considered "shabby". Please contact us... More

For the price of a stay at this hotel I had expected better quality. It actually looked nice on the website, but upon entering our room, it smelled musty and it was darkly furnished.

We have investigated your complaint and are not only upset by your comments, but confused as well. It is our policy to deep-clean our rooms in the off-season. Everything is stripped and the room is thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. The jacuzi suite you occupied had just been deep-cleaned prior to your arrival. When we received your complaint, the...

Amy, Let's address your comments one by one: You said the room was "dark, smokey and musty". There are several lamps besides normal lighting fixtures in each room, so no reason for it to be dark unless you arrive after dark and don't turn on the lights. In August, all of our rooms are occupied every night. They have no... More
