The hotel although a little old and dated was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place for a long dad and son fishing weekend.
The room was clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The parking was right in front of the room and the area was well lit at night. I will consider this place again when visiting the Outer Banks.

Time to remodel. It was as clean as they could get it. Ac unit not working so well, had a funky smell when running. Overall not bad
The Manager Robin is outstanding. My wife and I stayed for our 49th Anniversary. My Texas daughter wanted to surprise us. She called and spoke with Robin and Robin was amazing. She gathered a card, wine, flowers, Wine glasses and handmade dipped chocolate strawberries for our room when we arrived. On her day off she happily made our anniversary extra special.
Robin is one of a kind! She cares for customers beyond expectations. Thank you Robin! ❤️
As always, the stay was perfect. Im in buxton to fish. So basically all i need is a clean room, hot shower and comfortable bed. And the beds are extremely comfortable. I cant wait for my next stay!
Had a good experience with my stay here. This is a beautiful getaway with easy access to the beach, light house and the Cape Hatteras and easy access to the Hatteras ferry terminal that goes to Ocracoke Island

Property is in a great location, walking distance to places to eat, shops. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was not kept up. Rust and cracks in the tub, shower head did not have a lot of water pressure. The refrigerator was not secure and had to be careful opening and closing. Ac unit did not get very cold.
We love this place! It never disappoints. Always clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. You can walk to restaurant and shops..the beach is extremely close..laid back atmosphere.
Great place to stay for a few nights. Great location, clean rooms, good coffee. Has everything I need and the price is comparable to other like properties. Would have enjoyed daily maid service and clean towels.
We had a wonderful stay at Hatteras Island Inn. It was great to have a pool and the room was comfortable. Walking distance to town and the beach were a plus.
