Have never stayed before, received a call and text that we could have an early check in which was great.. arrived, rooms are spacious, at first sight appear clean however upon searching for an outlet to plug in phones noted toenails, debris, dust on the floors and around the beds. Absolutely disgusting. For what we paid to stay for a night(2 rooms) absolutely ridiculous. Rooms are dated, few convenient places for plugging in/charging devices. Air conditioner barely keeping it comfortable. Disappointed, overcharged and overheated.

Room was spacious and clean. Mini fridge, nice shower, and A/C. Our A/C was running nice and cold, but the room didn’t have a lot of air flow so it was noticeably warm during the night. Check in and check out was easy. Inn is located on the main strip of Buxton with lots of walkable convenience stores, restaurants, and fun things to do nearby. If you’re driving, you’ll have tons to do and eat. About a 3 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend.

Room was not fit for 4 people. Pull out was a twin mattress and stunk very badly, no sheet for pull out. No one on duty when we checked in. The real issue was 1 king bed and pull out was a twin size mattress. How are 4 adults supposed to sleep in this room????? Room was in rough shape bathroom had rust in the tub and they used a sour cream containers plastic to try to hid a hole in the bathroom. Never stay here!!

Like most places on the Cape, this is an older but well-maintained motel with very basic furnishings. It's within walking distance of several stores and restaurants. The after-hours kiosk was a little awkward, but the daytime staff were friendly and professional.

Nice place and good value. Rooms were clean. Bed was fine. Rooms aren’t serviced during your stay so you have to go to office to get clean linens/more toliet paper but not a deal breaker. Check in was easy and attendant was friendly.

Great place to stay.

Older hotel in great condition. Room was very clean and comfortable beds. Amenities included coffee maker and coffee, mini fridge that keep items extremely cold, microwave, ironing board with iron and hair dryer. Housekeeping did not come to the rooms, instead guest picked up what they needed in the lobby at a self service area. This worked out great and I grabbed extra coffee, towels and wash clothes when I needed them and even an extra pillow.
