Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Blue Heron Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice all around"

The First Colony Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint 1930s hotel with rocking chair porches, and well-appointed rooms. I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. Comes with breakfast, centrally located near beaches, shopping, and attractions. Communication was excellent, and staff was friendly and helpful. Keyless entry was smooth and uncomplicated. Definitely recommend!"

Mia's Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful view of the ocean. Pool was in a different location than our hotel, which is definitely not convenient. Bathroom could have been cleaner- mold on the tiles. The balcony and view were my favorite part of the experience. Very pet friendly, which we absolutely loved. Great location, we walked to the pier and a few restaurants. I would come back again."

Sea Foam Motel

4/10 Poor

"This place needs more than updated, it needs actual repairs. There were roaches, I even saw one in the room. The pool wasn’t open for the entire week we were there, which was one reason we booked this place. They didn’t even tell me at check-in, I found out through other guests. The cleaning staff was wonderful and so was the location. That was about it. Wouldn’t recommend or stay here again."
