Nice large room with a table and 4 chairs plus 1 comfortable chair. Staff came daily to either replace towels and remove trash or ask what we needed if we were in the room. Great location! Easy check in. Would happily return if we’re in the area!

We had a wonderful stay at the Outer Banks Motor Lodge! From the moment we arrived, everything was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The location was convenient, and it was a great place to stay while enjoying the Outer Banks. The room was comfortable and well-kept, and the staff were friendly and helpful. You can tell they really care about their guests and want everyone to have a great experience. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Outer Banks Motor Lodge to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable, and welcoming place to stay.

We've stayed here multiple times and have found it perfect for us. We get poolside rooms, because they are all 1st floor, ocean side can be 2nd floor (no elevator).You literally walk through a breeze way and your on the beach. Staff are friendly, restaurants are in walking distance and pool is kept clean. We highly recommend!
