Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Surf Side Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The most relaxing hotel stay I have had in a decade. Wonderful staff. Comfortable bed. Spotless room. Great water pressure in the shower. Stunning views. The only real issue was there is only one elevator, but given how amazing the hotel is, that is a minor consideration."

Blue Heron Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on the beach. All rooms are oceanfront but not Oceanview. Get a third floor room for a guaranteed Oceanview. Useful kitchen, comfortable bed."

Sea Foam Motel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful room was clean oceanfront pool was clean. The only I wouldnt say bad thing but the only thing ill say is the cold and hot water was a little weird but ill contribute that to the hotel being almost 80 years old. All things considered it was a great place to stay we will be back for another stay im sure."

Fin 'n Feather Waterside Inn By Kees Vacations

8/10 Good

"“Water view” is misleading - I assumed we were in the back overlooking the sound. No. We saw the parking lot, the 4 lane road, then a sliver of water. The blinds in our room do not cover the entire window edge to edge. Coffee maker- no cups. No soap in the dispenser at the sink."

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Nags Head

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was okay 👍 I plan for my next vacation to stay in the same place thankfully appreciate your comfort and loyalty"
