Pros:

Central location being close to everything. Love the balconys/porches. Bed was comfortable. Lots of channels on tv I appreciated. Cleaning stafe was quick and good. Love the decor charm of the lobby. LOVE all the sweet kitty’s!

Cons:

Wish the outside common area where the 2 rickety picnic benches were was just a little nicer.

Stay anywhere else. Mildew, bugs, rude staff.
Pros:

Sleeping outside may have been better or at minimum a comparable experience to staying in our room.

First, the pictures on the website are incredibly misleading. Each and every corner was run down, paint chipped, bed frames and furniture stained.

Our room was damp, smelled like must, all clothes taken into the room needed to be washed immediately upon returning home, even if they weren’t worn while on the island.

Bugs everywhere. Our bathrooms and bedrooms were filled with mosquitos and other little insects. It is nothing short of an infestation. The window AC units (none of which worked because their filters needed to be changed) are not sealed to the windows so you are functionally sleeping with windows wide open.

We didn’t even bother raising these issues because front desk clerk was rude the second we walked in the door. We would have left if island wasn’t sold out for a wedding.

Worst hotel experience of my life.

Blackbeard’s Lodge - clean, close to downtown,
Pros:

Stayed two nights at Blackbeard’s Lodge — about $250 per night, which is pretty typical for Ocracoke’s high hotel rates. This is a locally run business, and after a recent mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Aaron, I didn’t mind paying a little extra to support the local economy.
The room was basic but clean, with a comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, and a coffee maker (but bring your own coffee). Wi-Fi was solid and parking was easy. There’s also a pool, game room, and bike/golf cart rentals.
Not luxury, but a friendly, dependable base for exploring Ocracoke. I’d happily stay again.
