“Good place”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

We went for a group trip 5/4/13-5/6/13. We rented two rooms for each family right down the hall. We got there early and they let us check in early. Staff was great. They served breakfast every morning which was also great. Lots of selections. The only complaint would be they need to update a little. Shower was hard to work... More

“It's all about the view!”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

Great location -- the view of the harbor with the pelicans perched on the pylons. Especially as the sun sets! Large spacious suites, very clean -- a little dated on the fixtures but nothing that didn't work. Staff was amazing -- Maria the housekeeper was totally precious, the front desk staff was helpful with restaurant recommendations and the manager addressed... More

“Good value great location”

Reviewed October 28, 2012

This was my second time staying here. My complaint from my previous stay was soft beds. My bed was much better this time around although a friend in another room said her bed was too soft. My advice is to call them when you book the room and let them know you need a good bed. This place has a... More

“Spectacular View”

Reviewed October 23, 2012

Under newer ownership, they are doing it right. We stayed in the second floor suite shown on this picture, great view and service. Rooms were being renovated. Newer mattress a bit hard for my taste but ok for one night. Rooms were very clean and Island was charming

Thanks so much! We agree we have one of the best views on the island. We worked very hard during the renovation process to make the inn as comfortable and welcoming as possible. I appreciate you letting us know we are doing it right. We hope you are able to make it back to Ocracoke and to the Silver Lake... More

“A Perfect Peaceful Getaway...”

Reviewed October 1, 2012

The Silver Lake Motel and Inn is the perfect spot to stay in Orcacoke. It is right on the harbor, across the street from a Harbor Front Restaurant and the Marina. There is an ice cream parlor/coffee shop/bike rental next door to the hotel. (Renting a bike is a perfect way to see the village, and have easy access to... More

I loved that you wrote that your room "...reminded me of the guest room at my grandparents house". We do strive to make sure our guests are comfortable and feel welcome here on the island. We think we have the perfect location on Ocracoke too...and thank you for staying with us and for your kind comments. Hopefully you will come... More

“Rustic stay, great location”

Reviewed September 29, 2012

We stopped in to check on a room and I was greeter by a nice gentleman that let me look at one room and told me they also had a little larger room if I would be interested. After making sure we could book the ferry for the following day to Swan's Quarter (get a reservation!) we went back and... More

Thanks for the reminder to others about the ferry to Swan Quarter...I am sure that will be a useful tip. We appreciate your review and were glad to hear you found the room clean and in order. You are right, this is not a Hampton Inn...and we think the majority of our guests like it just the way it is.... More

“Great Stay”

Reviewed September 26, 2012

The wife and I stayed here for a quick visit, our room over looked the harbour and the room was very clean. It is in a perfect location to everything, we took our bikes down with us and rode everywhere. Staff was very friendly, we are looking forward to going back in about a month.

Bikes are a great way to get around the island, that is for sure. We are glad to hear you had a good time and hopefully when you return you can stay a little longer. Thank you for your review here. More

“I would have loved a ramp to the second story”

Reviewed September 24, 2012

We got off the ferry and had booked one night at this hotel. It is definitely rustic, but all in all suited us fine for the one night. The big downfall was having to hike everything up the rickety wooden stairs to the second story. There was a ramp on the main story from the parking lot. If you have... More

We appreciate the tip you gave abut the first floor rooms and the pet friendly information too. Thanks for sharing that. You are right; Silver Lake Motel and Inn is not fancy...however we do feel we provide a clean room at a fair price in a great location on Ocracoke. Sorry you missed the breakfast but hopefully you will come... More

“Bed bugs!”

Reviewed September 21, 2012 via mobile

I was only staying on the island one night, after a friend's wedding. When I arrived I was unable to check in due to the time, so I arranged for a late check in ( your key gets left in an envelope in a maibox on the porch). Returning from the wedding around 1130 pm I collected my key &... More

We take this very seriously and any suspected problems are immediately investigated. The property has been checked and does not have bed bugs. Silver Lake is also on monthly pest control service so all rooms and suites are checked routinely. The local licensed pest control professionals have reported that many people are very sensitive to other biting insects common to... More

“A real let-down”

Reviewed September 13, 2012 via mobile

Upon arriving to ocracoke island, my boyfriend and I decided to go with the silver lake inn based on the location and it was the first place we saw after getting off the ferry. We walked into the offices at 8:08 and were greeted, coldly, by the female manager. She appeared to be annoyed with us, was not welcoming, and... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments - of course we would like nothing but positive reviews, but without critcism we cannot improve. Please accept my apologies for the way you were greeted upon your arrival - we all strive to provide the best possible customer service, and obviously we fell short of the mark here. The... More
