Historic Downtown Manteo, 3.2 km from North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island

"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."

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fine."

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I loved staying here! The room was clean and smelled great when we got there. The air conditioning was running and kept the room cool our entire stay. We were on the first floor and loved the sliding glass door that led straight out to the beach. There was a broom in the closet that definitely came in handy after bringing all the sand back into the room. The breakfast was delicious. There were a lot more options than I have seen at other hotels, although I would have loved a different variety of fruit since I have young children and the oranges and apples are not easy to peel. But the kids loved the waffles and there was a great assortment of yogurt and cereals. We did not have to interact with the staff often, but they were pleasant in passing and the check in/check out process was a breeze. The playground for the kids was a godsend because the second day of our stay was so insanely windy we couldn’t enjoy the beach or pool. But we spent a few hours in the sandbox with a fun wooden ship play set and that kept the kids happy and entertained. This spot is also surrounded by fun things to do (we did putt-putt, the Wright Brothers Memorial and Jockey’s Ridge) but there was a lot more we didn’t get to do that was close by. Despite the windy day we had a blast and are already planning to go back again next summer and will definitely be staying here again."

Surf Side Hotel

4/10 Poor

"We stayed May 31-June 3 2026 Staff: very kind Breakfast: was AMAZING Monday June 1st, other days were not good at all. Outdoor pool: FREEZING indoor pool: just as cold if not colder then outdoor pool (was in a whole other building beside main building) Hottub: closed, out of commission (whole reason we booked this hotel…) We couldn’t use hardly ANY of the amenities. Room wasn’t terrible but bathroom there is NO room at all, you can’t even lay a floor mat down after a shower, hardly any lighting in the entire room The mini fridge froze every single thing we had in there, we turned the temp and it still was froze. We did turn it off and let it defrost and turned it back on and it still froze everything. Pros: they had beach chairs and beach towels you can borrow! Cleaning staff asked if we need anything when they see us even if we had the do not disturb sign up (asked us outside of the room)"

Heart of Manteo Motor Lodge

6/10 Okay

"This property is very basic. First, there were 3 little white tabs in the bathroom trashcan that looked like small white bandaids. Yuck! Second, the hand towel had a brown streak along one edge that looked like it had been run over by a wheel. The bathtub appeared to have been painted and the paint was peeling. The alarm clock on the desk had been unplugged, and I am unable to bend down to reconnect it to a wall plug (if there was one). The desk had no chair unless the chair on the opposite side of the bed was supposed to be the desk chair. Finally, there were no handicap parking spaces on the rear side of the property. Overall, I think this property was grossly overpriced. $60 to $80 per night would have been much more appropriate for the age and condition of the rooms."
