"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at The Tranquil House Inn in Manteo while we explored the Outer Banks. The rooms and service were great, and the location right on the water in downtown Manteo was perfect. Manteo has a charming downtown that offers plenty of shops and attractions without feeling too touristy. We also really enjoyed the light breakfast offerings each morning and the staff were so friendly and helpful."

Tar Heel Motel

9.3 km from North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island

"Our room had pretty textured walls and beautiful artwork. The furnishings were also high quality. Its a 3 minute walk to the beach, and within a few minutes drive of a mini-mart, ice cream place, and some restaurants. I couldn't figure out when checkout time was, but another guest told me 11am. Also the doors have # codes on them so you can check in without seeing anyone. But the insides of the doors don't have slide locks, so we were worried about someone being able to enter if they found out...

Hotel Manteo, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"It was so clean and bright inside! It made me feel happy even though it was rainy outside and a bit gloomy. Loved the attached restaurant with the amazing pizza! I walked just 13 minutes to get to downtown Manteo and that was a lovely walk. Close to sights like the aquarium and Festival Park. Staff was super helpful too!"

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel with great access to clean beach, with showers to rinse off sand and a great pool with sunbathing area. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was very polite and friendly. Ample free self parking and tasty breakfast. Best part is its location - take right highway for dunes park, Kills Devil, Kitty Hawk, Wright Brothers Museum, great restaurants. Take left highway for dolphin tours, aquarium, light houses, Trampoline Park, Mall. You can walk to the beach from the hotel parking. Plus this hotel has showers outside to wash off the sand before going to pool or to your rooms. Hotels in Virginia Beach should learn from this one. We had street facing rooms which were great. What we paid felt reasonable compared to other options. The only improvement I would recommend is bigger breakfast room. It’s very cramped and folks with family face a challenge finding a place to sit. Overall, I would rate this one as 10/10"

Seahorse Inn and Cottages

10/10 Excellent

Thank you so much for hosting us and being such great hosts and humans! Have a safe and happy summer! Hope to see yall again! Much love"

Heart of Manteo Motor Lodge

2/10 Terrible

"I do not recommend this Motor lodge. Our first room was disgusting. The chair in the room was filthy. I asked to cancel the room but since I did the reservation thru Expedia they couldn't cancel. They did give us better room but it was still not great. There is a dehumidifier in the room that fills up daily and causes the room to smell like pee. I tried to cancel they Expedia but I was told the management from the motor lodge denied it. We ended up leaving a day early because I just couldn't stand the smell any longer. Also when dealing with English speaking people it would be nice if management could understand you better."
