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.

Quaint little inn with an outstanding restaurant!

Staff and servers were attentive and friendly, and everything was clean. The complimentary breakfast at the gourmet restaurant far exceeds any other hotel comp. breakfast. The setting on the Pamlico Sound is gorgeous with many decks to enjoy the scenery.
