Heart of Manteo Motor Lodge

The location was excellent for the things we had planned. The pricing was good. We enjoyed having the kitchenette.

I stayed there multiple times; there are two king beds with kitchen rooms that are amazing. and a very quiet place. rooms are very clean. we stay here nexy year.

If you enjoy the company of construction workers, leering at you as you go to your room while on vacation then is the place for you. Plan on taking a bath? Well are tub look like it had been spray painted white. The overwhelming dank basement smell to go along with the unfinished water damaged walls in the bathroom.. Paid for two nights and left after one. Didn't even try to get our money back.

We stayed one night, 2 adults and a baby. First external impression: good location with basic shops in walking distance and quiet. We arrived during daylight to change clothes and inspected the room for bugs and cleanliness. Didn’t see any bugs but the room had a strong smell and floors and bedding weren’t the cleanest but it was tolerable. Wasn’t comfortable having my baby on the floors or top bedding, only the sheets. We left to eat dinner and came back at dark. We arrived to find German cockroach nymphs crawling EVERYWHERE but mainly by the kitchen area and bathroom. I just noticed some other reviewers had the same experience when arriving at dark. Nymphs means there’s a serious breeding issue/nest nearby. Had no time at that point to find somewhere else to stay with a crying baby who was ready for bed, so asked to get moved to a different room. No bugs in this room that we could see, but the chair, floors, and top bedding were filthy, had the same odd smell. Stains everywhere. Air conditioner barely worked in this room. Bed was very squeaky. Really made our visit unpleasant and stressful. Couldn’t get anyone to come to the desk the next morning.

Roaches. Lots and lots of roaches. In the kitchen, bathroom, under the bed, etc. Only thing offered was to move rooms. Nowhere else was available at that time of night and we had our 8 month old son with us. Tried to speak to someone about compensation the next morning but the front desk was abandoned. So here’s my review.

I've stayed here a few times. Rooms are ok. Beds are squeaky. Website needs an overhaul. The drone video on the home page made me dizzy!

I do not recommend this Motor lodge. Our first room was disgusting. The chair in the room was filthy. I asked to cancel the room but since I did the reservation thru Expedia they couldn't cancel. They did give us better room but it was still not great. There is a dehumidifier in the room that fills up daily and causes the room to smell like pee. I tried to cancel they Expedia but I was told the management from the motor lodge denied it. We ended up leaving a day early because I just couldn't stand the smell any longer. Also when dealing with English speaking people it would be nice if management could understand you better.

Rooms are not fancy but comfortable. Everything was clean, well stocked with necessities. Prices very reasonable compared to all I looked at. We would stay again.

Unfortunately my stay was nothing like the reviews I seen. First the room wasn't the cleanest, the floor was dirty. Second, the bed was hard as a floor but not as dirty as the floor. (thank God) Third, the walls are so thin you can hear the neighbors blink.(only slightly exaggerating) We only stayed the night because we were leaving early in the morning and around 11pm people started talking and laughing so loud by our room. Then they started playing music! I had to call the front desk for them to fix the issue. The music stopped but the loud talking, laughing, and banging on the walls continued until about 3am. The AC in the room struggled to keep us cool. I believe this is a motel that people actually live in. You get what you pay for and thats exactly what happened. I can say I will never be staying at a place like this again. The front desks hospitality was great but that wasn't enough to make up for how bad the rest of the stay was. I had to put niose canceling headphones on in order to drift off to sleep, then was woken up multiple times because the room was unbearably hot. I checked the reviews before booking so I was sold but they must be paid reviews, bot reviews, or the people that live there. The reviews are so misleading. (Honestly my feelings were hurt 🤦🏾‍♀️) Yes the price is good but not good enough for what we experienced. 0 out of 10 do NOT recommend, unless you can handle section 8 living.

This was a very comfortable room. Clean, convenient location, friendly staff and great rates. I stayed 5 nights. I will do it again! Thank you.
