My husband and I booked a “Superior Room, Oceanfront” for our anniversary getaway. The check in process was easy, the room was clean and as described, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The view of the beach and ocean was perfect! We enjoyed coffee each morning from Sunrise Cafe while sitting on the balcony. Kill Devil Grill is directly across the street and other restaurants and shops are nearby. The pool looked inviting, but we did not use it during this stay. We would happily stay here again!
