Nice area for morning walks, very clean property and room, with coffee maker, fridge, microwave, with 2 Queen beds. The mattresses were not too comfortable, but were fair. The pad on the mattress was vinyl, which made it hot, but there was a fabric pad on top. Only improvement needed were to provide more comfortable mattresses and not use the... more

We originally booked a suite but with family coming with us, decided to take two rooms in the older part of the motel. The clean and simple rooms were fine for us since we don't spend much time in them anyway. The only thing missing was a hair dryer which I learned I can live without. I would stay there... more

We liked the 3:00 pm check in time. We took our one suitcase to the second floor suite that we had reserved. We were in the room for all of 15 minutes and then left the motel to enjoy the island. When we got back to the room at around 5:30 pm there was a message on our telephone from... more

My SO and I stayed here on our massive road trip down the east coast. It certainly seemed clean, front desk was helpful when we had a problem with the internet (it's wireless with a password, but I had to choose a different password setting than the default on my Mac.) Otherwise good internet, we had a strong signal the... more

We have been staying at the Pony for severals years. One lady at the front office is very nice. Another is not so friendly. Hey, I know Ocracoke is laid back, etc, but there is a very 'who cares' attitude with some people there. Hotel itself was very clean, pool is great and the restaurant there has a great breakfast.... more

We come back to the "pony" every year with friends; usually stay 2-3 nights. The newer pool-side rooms are clean with enough room for our family of three. The rooms have the basics. Be sure to bring your own shampoo, lotion, etc. as they are not provided. The Location cound'nt be better. If you are looking for luxury, this is... more

We stayed at the Pony for two nights. The rooms are relatively small, but clean and well-kept. Some normal amenities were missing... Don't expect a hair dryer, shampoo, facial tissue or a coffee maker. The check-in clerk was very businesslike and humorless.... perhaps she had been through a bad day; but she was the same when we checked out. A... more

Located in great little town of Ocracoke in Outer Banks, NC. Easy to find. About a block from the beautiful inlet where the ferry terminates. Picked up some food at "Community Store" right along the inlet. Motel room has recently been remodeled and though it had two double beds, we also had a roll-away bed in the room which made... more

we had trouble deciding where to stay on ocracoke, having never visited before, went through all the various websites weighing up price, location, pool, reviews, etc finally deciding on the pony. We booked a second floor poolside room, and as mentioned on other reviews this isnt exactly poolside, but the small parking lot between rooms and pool is no problem... more
