The hotel is a classic style reminiscent of the 50s and 60s yet it has amenities such as microwave, toaster oven, keurig coffee maker, and mini fridge. The only problem was that the wi-fi was never available. The receptionist said that they had called for repair but it never happened in our 3 night stay. I would gladly stay here again.

It was a normal motel room, nothing fancy. I liked the small fridge, microwave oven, and toaster oven. The service was so so. When they would come, they would forget to replenish soap, toilet role, shampoo, and coffee etc. The shower had some glue type marks, and they did not go away. The airconditioner water left a unlighly mark outside.

Given it is a Motel, they did good. I had several “must haves” and they ticked the boxes. Within Nags Head, dog friendly without conditions, near the beach, a nice pool, reasonable cost. There is a neighboring restaurant The Dunes that we used a few times but check their hours, not always open. The staff were a little intimidated by our two large dogs but still smiled and vacuumed up our mutts dog hair without complaint. So would i book Tar Heel again, yes.

Bathroom is tiny. Parking is interesting. You park “right” outside your door , or within a few feet of it. Public beach access is right across the street. The room was clean and the staff was friendly.

LOVED It!

Stayed for one night, loved the check in process, the room was super clean, bed super comfy! I do wish the parking lot was a little bigger, but regardless, I will definitely be staying here again!

If you're looking for the most basic property to stay a night or two, this is your place. The room was clean and the space is very small. The window air conditioner made the room either very hot or very cold. The TV speaker was blown, so it resonates if turned up enough to hear it. The bathroom is the size of a campers bathroom. The bed is pretty comfortable and no bed bugs. Bare bones is the best way to describe it.

Overall the property is very clean. The only issue we had was housekeeping kept coming to the door even with the do not disturb sign. After knocking and we spoke they still unlocked the door. Checkout was at 11 and they came at 9:00 and then again at 10:45 when we were walking out. It should also be noted that parking is limited.
