A nicely-run and modest hotel somewhat limited by it's older architecture. Our standard room was somewhat small, but well-kept. Super-friendly staff!
Poor customer service, no peace during our stay. Staff neglected to let us know there would be construction on the direct wall outside of our room and bathroom, as well as an a/c unit swap in the middle of the day. Loud hammering, saw noises, nail guns, workers yelling and listening to music from 10am to past 5pm.
Property Manager was not very helpful/friendly in the way of making it right. Also would not give me her name when asked. Pool was also pretty dirty.
86yo building with noisy a/c unit and a dehumidifier in the room! No amenities and poor parking. Laughed when asked if we had been here before! Would never go back!
Check-in and out was quick and painless, facilities were warm and inviting, the beds felt great, some stiffness but still soft enough to sink into a little bit. The lodge has some historic feel to it and is pretty much smack dab in the middle of everything, walkable distance to pretty much everything in the town. If I had to pick a gripe it would be parking but everyone knows parking is at a premium on an island, and there is enough available.
Very old, cramp lodging and awfully expensive for what you get.

We've stayed at Blackbeard's Lodge a couple of times. We love Ocracoke, and you know staying at Blackbeard's Lodge you are staying in an old-school family-style hotel. However the bathroom of our room really needed some maintenance. It wasn't dirty, it just needed for the shower and tub drain to work better.
Blackbeard's is like a bed & breakfast without the breakfast (which is fine, btw). It is an authentic vintage hotel in the heart of Ocracoke, which is exactly what we wanted. I will be visiting again.
The room they gave us was never cleaned from previous people. The second room the wave us was occupied. The final room was one of the cheapest rooms available. In the morning i tried to get a price adjustment for the difference in price and they said there was nothing they could do. Said we had to deal with hotels.com.

The room and location was perfect. The theme is cute too. I recommend booking directly if you have a pet as it’s only specific rooms, Expedia does not know which to mark for pets so this caused issues. There are quite a bit of steps to get to 2nd or 3rd floors.
Ok- a lot of stuff didn’t work including the refrigerator and we had to throw away all our food . A bit far from the city and have to walk on the road because there is no side walks
