Great location and service. The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water in the shower. We went to the Wright Brothers Memorial and then took a ride down to Cape Hatteras. This hotel was convenient for both. Great places to eat in the area. Hurricane Mo's is just across the parking lot.
