I'm kind of easy to please so the cold shower on my last day there wasn't a big deal. The beach behind the hotel warns that it's a no swimming area within 200 feet of the sign because of some sort of runoff. Wish it had a stereo, DVD or CD player -- you can only pack so much. No... more

The hotel is an "all suite" hotel, which includes a separate bedroom, small kitchen area, living room and bathroom (with a sink inside and outside). We had an ocean view and pool view. The upgrade to ocean view was worth the extra cost, as these rooms are on the upper floors which enables you to see over the Dunes. The... more

We had an ocean view room with a balcony which I'd highly recommend. The room was really a suite. We had a bedroom, living room and small kitchenette. We were only there three days so we didn't take full advantage of the kitchen area but I definitely would if we stayed longer. The location of the hotel is right on... more

I will admit I was skeptical at first because we stayed in Outer Banks for our honeymoon (didn't really want to stay in a hotel) and just so happened earlier in the year something had gotten mixed up with a cottage I had rented in the Duck area...so I had to make plans quickly before everything booked up. I called... more

Very nice location - right on the beach. Could see the Wright brothers memorial from hotel. For $200+ a night, I expected more... One of the elevators was broken the entire time we were there. The room while very clean could have used an update. Noise tended to carry from other rooms. more

Just stayed June 2009. I was nervous after reading the reviews, but it turned out just great. We found the hotel to be clean, kid friendly and a fine place to stay while visiting the Outer Banks. Originally I was looking for a resort (found none of what I would have considered a resort), but the Best Western Ocean Reefs... more

This was the second time staying at Best Western. Our experience was good overall, but with some problems. Our toilet wasn't working properly at check-in, told front desk, they claimed to have fixed the problem while we were out. Toilet still didn't work right, we had to go out and buy a plunger, after that it worked ok. Vending machines... more

Just returned from a three night stay. We found the Ocean Reef Suites to be a great fit for our family. It was our first time on the Outer Banks and we enjoyed the proximity to the Wright Brothers Memorial (great view of the Memorial from the hotel!), Jockey Ridge, and all the other Outer Banks attractions. When I booked... more

Beautiful suite, with an ocean view, well-equipped efficiency kitchen, and quiet bedroom. We couldn't believe it was so cheap! It was an easy walk to the beach on their boardwalk. Very near to the Wright Brothers monument. My only small complaint was that our room lacked wireless internet -- needing to run an ethernet cable is so last century! more
