The room stunk like it had been closed up for a while. The place is outdated. The tile in the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The hinges of the doors were all rusted. The curtain didn't block out the light at night. The people staying above us were so loud at night it sounded like they would come through the roof.

The property was conveniently located near the pier. But got a little loud on the weekend (as I expected so not really complaining).

This is a simple, no frills hotel in a great location. Rooms are updated and modern and very clean. We got way more than expected when we opened the doir and the staff are outstanding. Can't beat the location for anything you want to do and just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be going back!

We love staying here. It is walking distance to the Bogue Pier and beach. My husband can fish while I relax on the beach. If he decides he's fishing most the night I can walk to the room. The staff has always been very pleasant and accommodating. It's a no frills hotel with clean rooms and good beds. We hope to go back often!

This was our third time staying at the Oceanview Inn, and it was as good as the last two times. We requested an upstairs room, which we got. The view is nice from the second floor! We always had clean towels and supplies. Great location, a 5 minute walk to the beach. We went on Memorial Day weekend, and stayed a week, so understandably it was busier than normal, and a little loud at night, but that wasn't the hotel's fault. Overall, we were pleased with our most recent stay, and look forward to coming again!

Close to pier and able to walk to the beach without transportation. I didn’t like not having paper towel ( Kleenex) which every hotel has but I am glad they have path tissue. Thank you

Outwardly this property scores well. The staff were attentive at check in, and it is in close proximity to the beach. Despite opening the door and smelling a heavy aroma, which we thought were from cleaning chemicals but now think may have been pest control chemicals, initial impressions of the room were positive, until we looked at walls that were stained or in process of repair but not complete. However, the true issue were bed bugs. We failed to do the bug inspection, and have bites that can only be attributed to bed bugs. If you opt to stay here make sure to inspect the beds.
