Really enjoying this little motel. This is a small, local motel without a lot of the frills of larger establishments. However, it is located right at the beach/boot accesses, the rooms are extremely clean and well maintained, the place is overall very nice. Ample space and the rooms/ efficiencies for multiple people. TVs and both bedrooms. Also has a very nice little kitchen at with mini fridge and microwave as well as a sink. Towels, washcloths, etc. towels, washcloths, etc. Were well stocked in the room when we arrived Were well stocked in the room when we arrived.
2 adults in an upstairs room. Very well priced. Clean. Beds were very comfortable. The refrigerator had plenty of room. Nice counter space for a kitchenette. Appreciated the ceiling fans in the two main rooms. AC worked well. Enjoyed not having lots of kids running around and screaming (no pool!) so we could enjoy the sounds of the ocean over the sound of tourist families.
I so so very much enjoy coming here and staying with the wonderful kind people at the village Marina motel. The place is perfectly located right at the water. When I arrived I went straight for the boat to go fishing. When I return from my fishing trip I checked into my room with a lovely lady who kept me smiling with simple conversation. I believe it's the same lady I meet every year when I visit. I got my key went into my room and of course the air conditioner was on the place was very neat. There was no sign that anyone had previously stayed there as the room did not smell of smoking nor of anything that would cause you to have a uncomfortable and dissatisfied night. But that is what I expect of this place because that is what the village Marina staff does they make sure you're comfortable in a clean environment. The refrigerator, microwave, sink, table, bed, sheets pillow cases, carpet, bathroom, television, and even the Bible where all in great order. No one died go back every year where else should I go? I will return.
Wanted to like the place and just can’t. Checkout is at an absurd 9am… there were hairs on the “clean” plates. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner because all you get is a small bar of soap. The sofa should have been replaced a decade or two ago. Bed felt like it still had plastic on it so wasn’t breathable. Design of the room we were in meant the front room was frigid and the back sleeping room was hot. The a/c is in the front only and there isn’t any air forced or vented to the back room. It was too hot to sleep! Oh yea, the ice machine is broken too. Wish I could get half my money back because yes they put a roof over our head but nothing much more. Will find a different place on our next visit to the island.
First my family and I love Hatteras. Really it’s our happy place.
But we will find a new place to stay. This place had our reservation mixed up, didn’t inform us that we needed to bring blankets(this year), and for the second year in a row room service barged in our room without much notice, last year we thought it was just a mistake. But this year she did it twice, on both days we were there. And on the morning of checkout room service rudely approached us as we were packing stating that check out was 9am, even though ALL posted material states 11am. As I was speaking with room service she wouldn’t listen to anything I said and only repeated, “9am, it’s 9am, they should have told you”. Well “they” didn’t. They “they” didn’t listen or care. Then as we continued to pack the car I watched her barge in someone else’s room. Then we let the front desk know, and they stated that they had us staying for another day ????? Then why push us out???? Still love Hatteras for the nature and beach, but the hospitality has left a lot to be desired.
