Although this hotel is right on 12, it was very quiet. Pool was perfect. Location was a 2 minute walk to the beach and 5 to the National Park (Hattaras Lighthouse). Great place for the money.

Nice place and good value. Rooms were clean. Bed was fine. Rooms aren’t serviced during your stay so you have to go to office to get clean linens/more toliet paper but not a deal breaker. Check in was easy and attendant was friendly.

Great place to stay.
Older hotel in great condition. Room was very clean and comfortable beds. Amenities included coffee maker and coffee, mini fridge that keep items extremely cold, microwave, ironing board with iron and hair dryer. Housekeeping did not come to the rooms, instead guest picked up what they needed in the lobby at a self service area. This worked out great and I grabbed extra coffee, towels and wash clothes when I needed them and even an extra pillow.

Enjoyed Hatteras Hotel
Hotel was 5min walk from the beach, clean & comfortable for the basics. Great pillows & beds. Had a virtual check-in because it was like 10pm. Never experienced that but we had no problems.

So fun!
My family had a great visit and stay at the hatteras island inn. Our room was a nice size and had everything we needed. The pool was open and the kids had a great time swimming. Just a small walk away from the beach as well. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in that area. Right next to a great pizza place too!
