Top The Lost Colony Hotel Reviews

Colonial Inn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I dispise it when people want a Ritz-Carlton room for a Motel 6 price and then complain! This motel was a joy. It is the kind of motel my family used to stay in on trips in the 60's. It met my needs completely. It is very reasonably priced for a property on the beach, so it was very convienent for my daily fishing with my grandson. While it should be taken for granted, I will state the room was clean and odor free. The bed was firm, which is how I prefer them with lower back issues; other's opinions may vary. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and actually seemed to appreciate our business. I would not hestitate to book another stay in the future."

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Nags Head Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"The beds were comfortable! The room looked worn we were disappointed with the housekeeper Tahiti! She did not fill our towels, did not give new soap, she did not wipe the counters. It just looked like she only made the b d! I called the front desk and complained. She said she would tell the management. I never heard anything back from the management at all."

Hotel Manteo, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The kind and friendly staff welcomed us after a long drive including some flooded roads. There was also flooding in some parts of Manteo and the hotel parking lot due to unprecedented amounts of rain in previous days. I’m sure they had concerns of their own regarding the flooding, but they answered every question and made sure we had what we needed. Our rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. The car charging stations were working well. I can also recommend the food and service at the restaurant onsite, Fire Tender. "

Tranquil House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay here! Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained from the moment we arrived. The grounds were beautiful, clean, and had so much outdoor space to enjoy. We loved being able to walk around, take in the scenery, and use the bikes available to ride around Manteo! It was such a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere. Every staff member greeted us and was so welcoming. We especially want to shoutout the staff member who was working Friday morning (7/17). She quickly helped us replace our refrigerator when we had an issue. She TRULY made the hospitality memorable and deserves some credit! Overall, this was such a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. We felt well taken care of, and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

Travelodge by Wyndham Outer Banks/Kill Devil Hills

8/10 Good

"The rooms are a little dated and could use some TLC, but it was clean and the AC worked really well - which we really appreciated after being on the beach all day. It is nothing fancy, but there were breakfast items (muffins, fruit, juice, coffee, nutrigrain bars) every morning, the staff was friendly and helpful, it was quiet, and very close to the beach and a public beach access."
