Well.... before going on my trip down to the OBX for a wedding over Memorial Day weekend - I checked out trip advisor -- I read the reviews and saw the price for this hotel and thought the price was EXCELLENT...I thought to myself, "I am only going to sleep there.. I don't need a fancy place" I should have... more

My wife and I stayed at the Ocean House Motel this past weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Upon arrival we found out that in order to get the keys to our room, we would have to register at anothe hotel just down the street. Okay, no big deal, except this motel knew nothing of our reservation. They did manage... more

My sister and I stayed at the Ocean House this weekend. Our first clue should have been when the motel personnel asked us if we would like to see our room first. Some of the rooms were "themed" and we had visions of "Psycho"! The rooms were "broom clean" but the motel definitely needs alot of TLC and some major... more

The location was the best thing about this motel. We had an ocean front room reserved for 3 nights. You do walk right out your door onto the beach (over the dunes) which was great. However the room was dirty (dirty windows, mini blinds, moldy shower). The toilet was broken and wobbled and the sink leaked. The bed linens did... more

This hotel is one of the oldest if not the oldest on the beach road and usually has the cheapest rates. right now u can get a ocean front room for 35$ a night try to find that anywhere else on the beach. and everyone complaining that its run down, well duh its over 50 years old more

I thought our cursory room check went well, but the bugs didn't come out until we'd already slept in the bed twice, making it all the more disgusting when we saw the vast array of... more

Be ready to step back in time if you stay at the Ocean House in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Although badly in need of renovation and updating, Ocean House offered excellent prices (which included a discount from the travel book). The oceanfront deluxe room was spacious and included 2 bathrooms! The rooms that were oceanfront, you stepped out your backdoor,... more

I have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for over 30 years. Last week was the first time ever staying at the Ocean House Motel. It is an "old style weather beaten" beach motel. The way the Outer Banks was 25 years ago. The way I wish it still was. There is just nothing relaxing or "beachy" about the new... more

I don't know where to start with this junk hole. I knew I had made a huge mistake when my family and I pulled into the parking lot. It was run down and very shabby looking. It looks to the point it needs to be shut down. Once checked in, we came to our room. First off, the door looked... more
