    Overall enjoyed the stay and will likely book again next year!

    The beds didn't have support in the middle so rolled closer to each other. The outside at night is not very well lit.

    Location was nice and price well compared to others around it. The checking in and out was very easy and convient.

    The water pressure in the shower left something to be desired. Adding more outdoor seating would also be awesome.

    Simple, comfortable, clean and a great location. Hunter was awesome and the whole place had a family feel.

    WiFi was terrible and the TV was WiFi connected so totally unavailable. The owner is planning an upgrade but that was an issue for our stay. There was confusion about which room we were assigned and the access codes but Hunter quickly resolved the confusion. Attention to room details by the cleaner were a small issue - no toilet paper (but luckily our next-door neighbor had a spare roll) and someone's clothing left behind in a drawer.

    We selected this property primarily because it was pet-friendly but there were other positives - good location in the Outer Banks; responsive /friendly motel owner, Hunter; clean rooms; comfortable bed. It was only for a one-night stay so it worked well for us. For anyone wanting proximity to the beach, it was an easy walk.

    The weather did not cooperate, but that way it goes sometimes.

    It is an older motel and it is not fancy but has it's own charm.

    Awfully expensive for an average motel room. Should have been about $100 or so instead of $170.

    the only down side was we wanted to make coffee in the morning, when we opened the coffee machine to put our coffee in there was an old filter with grounds that was full of mold, yuk, no coffee there

    It was clean and located near all we wanted to do, the roads need work, especially going to the beach

    Room definitely needs a table to sit at!! If you want fancy, might not work for some as outside a tad funky. Neighbors behind the apartments a tad messy. But hey I was there for a night and the beach so can’t complain!!!

    Proximity to beach was fabulous. Room was very well appointed, spotless and bed was comfy. Felt newly renovated. Very nice!

    Just planned an impromptu trip to Hatteras and found Tower Circle and were so glad they were able to accommodate us! The facilities were great and kept my pup nice and cool when she needed a break from the beach and the owners were really nice and were flexible for us with a slightly earlier check-in and great communication the whole time. The rooms were clean and well equipped with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker and fresh linens.
