Stayed at Owens over the past weekend. Hotel was economical and excellent value for the money. We stayed in the courtyard and were pleased. The room was clean and "fresh" smelling. The room was close to the beach. Would stay here again. Staff were pleasant. more

Just stayed at the Owens' Motel last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was very clean and smelled good with plenty of amenities--microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker (although there was no coffee in the room). All the staff that I encountered were friendly and helpful. Also, the Owens Restaurant right next door had excellent food--one of the best dinners... more

We come from Canada, so we had to do extensive research on different hotels/motels beforehand. We didn't want to come all this way and ruin our vacation because of a bad motel. Well, we made an excellent choice. Good customer service. They gave us a room in the courtyard when we paid for a westside which was good. When we... more

This motel is nothing special. We booked for 2 adults and 1 teenager. Room was so small we bumped into each other. Tiny bathroom with no counter space at all. Not for anyone who's claustrophobic! Location is good.... more

If you're looking for a no-frills, no nonsense place to stay that is within walking distance of the beach, then this is the place for you. It's a bare necessities motel - no coffee for the coffee pot, no shampoo in the bathroom, no phone on the nightstand. We couldn't hear a thing from the rooms on either side of... more

If anyone's idea of an old fashioned place to stay in Nags Head includes a freezing cold air conditioned room with small gnats flying all over the place, huge collections of dead ones on the window sills, and a balcony that can't be used because of an assortment of these and other pesky bugs flying around...not to mention the odd... more

My family and I made our first trip to the Outer Banks and stayed at Owens Motel over Memorial weekend 2008 and couldn’t have been more pleased. The website described the rooms just as we found them to be! Our original reservation was for an oceanfront efficiency (Fri-Sun). We decided last minute to go up Thursday night, getting us in... more

I'm not sure what people are expecting when they book a room in this motel and then complain that it's not plush and up to date. It's one of the older motels on the beach and it doesn't have the modern conveniences of the Holiday Inn, Best Western, Ramada, etc. It's an old-fashioned beach-front motel. It has courteous, North Carolina-style... more
