Top The Lost Colony Hotel Reviews

Shutters on the Banks

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good breakfast, warm pool, the beach is on back side and the staff were wonderful and friendly!"

The Burrus House Inn Waterfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This 12 room boutique hotel is exquisite. I highly recommend you stay there, but I must insist you don’t go through Expedia. Not that I don’t appreciate the convenience that the interface gives when I’m booking travel, but this particular hotel is worth getting to know on a one on one basis, and it will avoid the confusion of being given the wrong room number and getting all excited for a room you don’t stay in. Tina and Donna Maye we’re lovely hosts, welcoming and not overbearing The accommodations I was given were better than pictured."

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Nags Head Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Indoor pool was clean, fairly large, and it opens at 8am. Property is maybe a mile from the Wright Brothers birthplace of aviation. If you go to the Wright Brothers museum be sure not to miss the North Carolina sculpture on the back side of the monument. The hotel has a very good breakfast buffet which is available for a small extra charge. The walkway to the beach has an outdoor shower."

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing! I love the close access to the beach and the cleanliness pf the hotel overall. Food was ok on the breakfast buffet there weren't any pancakes but the kids enjoyed everything. The pool was useful since it started raining on our check in day. Overall 9/10."

Island Guesthouse and Motel

10/10 Excellent

"What a pleasure of a stay! Fantastic and friendly, with a fair price for in-season stays."

Tranquil House Inn

8/10 Good

"If they serve more high quality breakfast service, it would be a perfect since dining location was great!"

Scarborough Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious and quiet room. Ample free parking. Nice restaurant and Christmas/General Store across the street. Convenient location close to historical areas of Roanoke Island, N Carolina Aquarium, Wright Brothers monument in Kitty Hawk and plenty of shopping and dining options in nearby Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills."

Charming Coastal Retreat in Manteo – Newly Remodeled & Ready for Your Stay!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful space. Perfect for bike riding and a small town feeling. The house itself was very clean and high quality bedding and towels helped with the relaxing atmosphere"

Hotel Manteo, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fantastic. The beach is just about a 15-minute drive away. The only thing I would say is that they don’t clean the rooms very frequently. If you stay for a few days, you have to request it."
