Top Hatteras Island Hotel Reviews

Swell Motel

Swell Motel

8/10 Good
"I enjoyed my stay here. The motel is old, but well cared for. It reminded me of an old motor court, as the rooms were all on the same row, one story, where you could park right in front of your room. The rooms still use a key, but they were spacious, quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable and I really like the pool. There were lots of places within walking distance. I was disappointed with the bikes that were available, as they were all rusted and hard to ride. The beach was a 5 minute walk and not accessible due to all the work being done to repair storm damage. This is a bare bones place, but I enjoyed my stay."

"Location was great. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Check-in was a bit confusing and a bit of a pain. Apparently I was supposed to contact them hours in advance to find out how to check in. I never received a passcode or email about how to check-in beforehand. The office was closed when I arrived. After talking to two people on the phone I was given a pass code. The door lock was testy. The code had to be put in a few times before opening and locking the door was sometimes difficult as well. This unit could use a new locking system. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would visit again."
