We kick-off our OBX vacation by spending Friday night at the Days Inn Mariner in an ocean-front room. It is perfect for us -- right on the beach, affordable, clean and comfortable. We hit the beach on Friday and Saturday morning, thus avoiding the Saturday traffic. My kids love the breakfast. We love the convenience and price and location. It's... More

I am not one to write when I don't like a hotel, but figured I used Tripadvisor to find this hotel and I wanted others who looked it up to know just what they were in for. We did not expect the hotel to be top notch but we did hope for a clean, reasonable place to stay. The negatives:... More

The Mariner is an older hotel on the ocean front and I assume it has seen it's share of tropical storms. It is also not for the rich and famous. It consists of two structures. the older "basic and plain" is situated north-to south, and the newer is situated East to west. (look at Google Satellite). When you look at... More

We had a room in the older wing which parallels the beach. Since there is no balcony (just a walkway in front of the window) we could not open a sliding door and listen to the ocean waves and the beach is across the parking lot and additionally an expanse of lawn (and a very nice looking pool) so we...

The two rooms closest to beachfront probably have the best view of the ocean. We could not get the top floor with the balcony view, but the view downstairs was great as well. They cleaned our window glass so we could see the beach better, without having to ask. This building inside had a good size eat in kitchen, a... More

Days inn, 75 feet from the Beach. an older motel, with dated rooms, but very clean. nice, close parking. Close to all attractions and good eating places. staff, helpful and willing to help if you are new to area. Beds were comfy, but bathroom was small, but who cares everything worked. If you are looking for upscale, this is not... More

I usually travel to warm places during the winter day's, but this winter i found myself in North Virginia, (North Carolina) to Kill Devil Hills. I found the best rate and deal at Days Inn. I rented a ocean front room which included breakfast for 4 day's, @49.00 per nite. Although the town was almost that of a ghost town,... More

Can't say enough about the front desk service, a nice young man who checked us in and patiently answered all our questions with a sincere enthusiasm for OBX and our visit. GREAT buffet breakfast got us going in the morning, room was older but quiet and safe, with WI-FI that made keeping up with business easy. Beach was right outside... More

Right on the beach with the ocean at our front door. It was a beatiful place to spend the night. We got a two room suite with a sitting area and kichenette. Was perfect when travelling with an adult child. More
