Sea Ranch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We really love this stay we did upgrade our room to a beachfront which was well worth the money and they didn't price gouges to do it room was clean beds were mid for comfortability but average for most hotels they did have a restaurant attached that had really good food and we're in the middle of building an outside patio and decking which will be really nice when finished beaches were pretty and clean very beautiful stay"

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Nags Head Oceanfront

6/10 Okay

"Staff was professional but not that friendly. Room was ok. Rug was old. Hallway to the room smelled like nail polish removal. We had some ants in our room but we put cinnamon out to keep them away. Each floor had snacks and ice which was good compared to other hotels. Breakfast was not included and you had to fill out a ticket to tell them what you wanted. Limited staff assisting guests there. Bar was nice. Tiki bar with limited items but food was good. Our waitress was nice and helpful. Close to shopping and other restaurants and hotel was right on beach with good view. "

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

Until next time, Thanks, "
