The shower had a hard time draining, the air conditioner only worked around half the time, and the ice machine outside you had to pay for but was out of ice and did not give a refund. Besides that, the staff and location were amazing! We were greeting with smiles and calling our family by name! The room clean and the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Quick and easy check in. Comfy beds. Within sight of the ocean. The pier is very cool. We saw lots of porpoises playing around the pier. Coffee was hard to find till 7 on a Saturday morning.

The room stunk like it had been closed up for a while. The place is outdated. The tile in the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The hinges of the doors were all rusted. The curtain didn't block out the light at night. The people staying above us were so loud at night it sounded like they would come through the roof.

This room was way nicer than expected, we stayed on the renovated side and the room was spotless. Only issue was the toilet seat had a broken screw. Also probably the best you can find for an inn/motel.

Outwardly this property scores well. The staff were attentive at check in, and it is in close proximity to the beach. Despite opening the door and smelling a heavy aroma, which we thought were from cleaning chemicals but now think may have been pest control chemicals, initial impressions of the room were positive, until we looked at walls that were stained or in process of repair but not complete. However, the true issue were bed bugs. We failed to do the bug inspection, and have bites that can only be attributed to bed bugs. If you opt to stay here make sure to inspect the beds.

Cute motel and very friendly staff! However, we slept with ear plugs as the walls are thin (there was a noisy party on the first floor underneath us) and a flag pole on the property had a rope clanging against it in the wind all night long. The a/c wall unit could use a cleaning as it was a bit musty smelling. Otherwise everything was okay.

Excellent place to stay for visiting Emerald Isle. Beach is just a few minute away and there are a few good options for food. My only complain was that the beds weren't comfortable to sleep on. Other than that, this is an excellent spot.

This was our third time staying at the Oceanview Inn, and it was as good as the last two times. We requested an upstairs room, which we got. The view is nice from the second floor! We always had clean towels and supplies. Great location, a 5 minute walk to the beach. We went on Memorial Day weekend, and stayed a week, so understandably it was busier than normal, and a little loud at night, but that wasn't the hotel's fault. Overall, we were pleased with our most recent stay, and look forward to coming again!

I choose this hotel when I come down to fish. The Bouge pier is really close. Beds are comfortable. Shower has great water pressure and its hot! Coffee pot is a nice touch. AC is not really sized appropriately to keep the room cool in the Summer. Big picture window is nice but makes the AC struggle. Also some weatherstripping along the doors would hold in more of the cool air. Full disclosure: I am HOT natured and like it COLD when I sleep at the beach. Its a no-frills, budget-friendly, nice place. I will definitely stay here again!

This is a simple, no frills hotel in a great location. Rooms are updated and modern and very clean. We got way more than expected when we opened the doir and the staff are outstanding. Can't beat the location for anything you want to do and just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be going back!

Recognizing that this is not a four or five star property, but a well utilized, near beachfront motel with some age on it, we had an excellent stay! We needed to get our toes in the sand so we purchased one night, at a very reasonable rate, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was very friendly, and though the rooms have some age on them, it was clean and comfortable. I might not stay here more than a couple nights, simply because there's no kitchen, but a very enjoyable stay for a night or two for us. We will be back! Ps- My only complaint was the air conditioner could not keep up with how hot it was outside, so it was quite warm in the room (but I brought a small fan to help with that). The bathroom could use some new grout, but it was clear that they keep it clean despite the sea salt and sand.

When checking in the lady was so sweet and very knowledgeable of the area! If you want to fish or just go to the beach, it is a very short walk with a great restaurant on the fishing pier and bathrooms! The rooms and the bedding were clean and it had everything you could need or want! Definitely will be staying there again
