Being early March, it was 55 degrees on day 1 and 69 on day 3. Being from Vermont, any day is a good day to sit at the end of a pier watching the sun rise and/ or set with a coffee/ beer in hand. The restaurant was excellent, with complementary breakfast, and dinner service available.

6/10 Good

Room was ok not the cleanest ( but building is older so maybe that has something to do with it) they have packed a restaurant, pool, local events and hotel in a small area. Staff was very friendly, good cookies and very greatful for snacks in room upon arrival. For the area it was probably good.

Pamlico Paradise

Very much enjoyed our time - the Staff are awesome; food is very good and plentiful. Only one negative note: the walls and floors are thin, so depending on how busy and how lucky you get with neighbors, and your tolerance for human noise, this may affect your experience.
