I enjoyed my stay there. The staff was very friendly & informative. It was right on the beach. The room was clean & a good size. The halls are external so I did here a lot of wind blowing& the door vibrating throughout the night. I was very comfortable & would stay there again.

We were very excited about the super low room rates we were quoted for a stay in October of 2015.

However, sleeping here was very difficult....

The room could use some cleaning up and maintenance (paint scuffs, etc), same with the exterior. Tiny bathroom, but isn't horrible. Pools looked nice but didn't get to go in. Breakfast was small but nice. I really liked the bed and pillows, they were soft and comforting (although one of the pillowcases was stained). Overall was a decent enough stay for $50 per night.

Absolutely beautiful location, especially with the ocean front room. Very comfy beds were a plus. Gazebo on the beach is a nice place to take in the sunrise and the path to the beach helps with access. Bathroom is small for tall people, but not an issue if you're by yourself. Lots of options for food around the area and very easy to find off the main highway.

we were down for a wedding. I stayed in the efficiency apartment. There was no view, but everything about the room itself was very adequate - kitchen had full-sized stove & refrig., as well as a microwave & sink - even had dish soap & towel. Laundry room & ironing board available (I brought my own iron). Room was very clean and comfortable. The handicap room was next to mine. It appeared that...

Just what I was hoping for and better

Great location and just minutes from the Wright Brothers Monument. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. The room was spacious, very clean, two queen beds, and a full kitchen.....stove, refrigerator, utensils, table and four chairs. Indoor and outdoor pool, exercise room and a very short walk to the Beach behind the hotel. I loved the breakfast too. Wonderful staff....very pleasant...

Had to go to court in Manteo. Decent location. I'm sure it's great for people going to the beach it's right next to it. Regular hotel. Mini fridge had some mold in the gasket but otherwise was clean everywhere else. Nice free breakfast. Feel like it should have been cheaper though especially for what season it was.

We booked this room for 2 days on our 17 day road trip and its 100% the worst one we stayed in. They have clearly spent lots of money on the lobby and the room photos for trip advisor must be of the best rooms. We had room 202 with a parking lot view. No real issue with the view...

Great location with a short boardwalk to the beach. There was a gazebo to view the beach. Great hot breakfast with waffles, fruit, biscuits and gravy, bagels, yogurt and beverages. Nice room with fridge and microwave. My tub would not hold water, but the showerhead was very nice. Close to all attractions.

Front desk and breakfast staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious! Appreciated cold ice water with lemon at front desk. Pool was heated and clean. Room 114 smelled a bit musty and bathroom could be updated. Beds very comfortable. All hotels should supply liquid soap instead of bar soap. Concrete walks need repainting. Overall, great stay and would stay here again if come back.

We have been staying at this motel for several years and have always been satisfied with it. This year the only disappointment was that the hot tub jets were not working since we use them to sooth our back problems. I AM concerned with the room rate that has increased a lot. May need to look elseware. But the rooms are fine and staff friendly.

My husband and I spent 4 nights here, and we were pleased with everything. We opted for a parking lot view room, which saved us money, and still gave us very easy access to the beach.
The beds in our room were soft and comfortable. The flat-screen TV was large with many good channels, and great color, too. No plumbing...

On the positive side, this place is right on the beach. We could walk from our room to the beach in less than a minute. However, you do really pay for that privilege. The place is really a re-decorated old-school motel. Our room was large, but very basic. The facilities in the room did not justify the price. Breakfast was...

We really enjoyed staying at Shutters on the Banks. We had an oceanfront room and loved sitting on the balcony listening and watching the beach. The room was very clean and the size was quite large. The continental breakfast was very good and we loved sitting on the veranda each morning. The staff was very congenial and helpful. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely return.
