Pros:

This is a cheap cheap cheap hotel. I ripped my toe open on the passageway between the main room and the kitchenette on a screw. The bathtub was plugged up. The shower head doesn’t work correctly. Yeah it’s cheap also had an illegal cord running through the wall to the outside. Never never again.

Pros:

Didn't like the impersonal check-in via video screen. Also, volume on the video screen was an issue. Will avoid any hotel that uses this system in the future.
Other problem was the room temperature in our room. It was freezing cold, and the thermostat didn't work at all. Nothing we could do to warm up the room and it remain freezing the whole time we were there. It shouldn't be occupied again until that's repaired.

Pros:

You get what you pay for. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the room itself was like sleeping in a smokey, cold jungle, even though we wanted a non-smoking room. The humidity was oppressive and it was up to us to dump the dehumidifier. The lamp shade was moldy, and the AC just didn’t do a good job regulating the temperature in the room. I’m grateful the linens were clean. Overall, it felt like a truck stop. I would probably just sleep in my car than book this place again.

Pros:

We love staying on Manteo. Pet friendly room was nice and we enjoyed our stay.
Only draw back for us is the smoking being permitted outside of the rooms. We have a special needs child who is allergic to smoke and it was difficult to get in and out of the rooms without people smoking.

Pros:

The rooms have been updated and look nice. There was a mini kitchenette in our room, complete with a microwave. Unfortunately, the microwave hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The management staff was barely visible, and the lobby hardly inviting. However, the price and the location were why we chose it. I wanted to be close to downtown, and that was charming.
