Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk

Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk

10/10 Excellent
"This is a very nice hotel. It’s smells so nice and clean when you enter. Pretty lobby with tropical fish tanks. Front staff very welcoming and friendly. Our room was great, everything nice and clean. They have a little bar and restaurant on site. We ate there and it was very good, and the waitress was very nice. We did not swim, but there is an outdoor pool and an indoor pool with Jacuzzi. This hotel is right on the beach and they even have a pier right there. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a nice place in a great location close to stores and an easy hop onto the main highway that goes up and down the Outer Banks."
