Outer Banks Hotels & Motels

For clean, comfortable accommodations in an ideal Outer Banks location, Hotel Manteo, a Wyndham Resort, offers fresh, contemporary decor and boutique-style amenities in a traditional hotel setting. The hotel, part of the town's history since 1954, has been completely reimagined and updated, with all 78 standard rooms, suites and kitchenette apartments newly decorated and outfitted with furnishings, appliances and coffeemakers. Hotel amenities include a brand-new outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a comfortable lobby and refreshment kiosk, room service, free parking and complimentary WiFi. The onsite private event space, Embers Lounge, can accommodate up to 60 guests for seated or standing events, and the onsite restaurant, Firetender Stone Oven Cooking & Bar and Weeping Radish Taproom, is one of Manteo's most popular spots for dinner and Sunday brunch. Hotel Manteo's location has the feeling of quiet, small-town charm, yet the hotel is within walking or biking distance of all the popular Downtown Manteo shops, attractions, restaurants and bars, about a five-minute drive to the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, The Elizabethan Gardens and The Lost Colony, and only about a 10-minute drive to the bustling beaches of Nags Head and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. 

This Outer Banks hotel is neat and well-kept. Most of the hotel is located on the oceanfront, but there are some rooms available in separate buildings across the beach road. They also handle the reservations for one of the traditional motels on the beach, the Wilbur and Orville Wright. Choose from accommodations of efficiencies, suites up to two bedrooms and standard rooms. Efficiencies and suites have full kitchens, and rooms have micro-fridges and coffee makers. Free wireless internet is available in all rooms. There is an outdoor pool open in season. All guests can enjoy complimentary access to the Outer Banks YMCA in Nags Head, which has outdoor and indoor pools, fitness equipment, cardio and yoga classes. Every morning the hotel serves a complimentary continental breakfast. Mariner Inn & Suites is open all year with the exception of one week around Christmas.

OBX Lodging offers clean, comfortable, conveniently located and moderately priced Outer Banks accommodations. Offerings include cottages, guest rooms, efficiency suites and rental homes. Here for a quick getaway? Choose a comfortable guest room with one double bed. Here for a week-long vacation? Choose an eight-bedroom oceanfront rental home. There is something for every Outer Banks vacation, and all the properties are on the website with photo tours. 

Roanoke Island Inn is one of Manteo’s most beautiful historic inns. It’s in the heart of the historic district, situated along the boardwalk and overlooking the water. The original building dates to the 1860s, and later additions and renovations have this inn sprawling over its large lot with lush landscaping and a quaint picket fence. The inn offers eight rooms with private baths and outside entrances; two of the accommodations are family suites. Dog-friendly accommodations are available. A comfortable common area (wait until you see the frescoed ceiling), a peaceful back yard with a koi pond  and a well-stocked innkeeper’s pantry are welcoming touches. Guests have 24-hour access to the fully stocked pantry, and a continental breakfast is set out each morning from 8 to 11 a.m. WiFi is available in the guest rooms and the lobby. In the backyard garden is a bungalow offering two bedrooms and a wet bar but no cooking facilities. Children are welcomed in the two family suites and in the bungalow, and dogs are allowed in the bungalow. Bikes are available for guests to use. They close in January and February every year.

Roanoke Island Inn is now also offering the Croatan Cottage, a charming fully restored and furnished 1920s Sears kit home located in downtown Manteo next to the entrance to Roanoke Island Festival Park. Voted #6 in Best Homes 2012 by Hooked on Houses, the Croatan Cottage offers three bedrooms and three baths, sleeps up to six people and is pet friendly. The house rents for a two-night minimum. Make sure to ask about their four-night stay and seven-night stay special packages!

In the heart of historic Downtown Manteo, The Pearl Hotel is a brand-new boutique hotel offering luxurious accommodations just steps from the waterfront. It features 16 hotel rooms and two family-style apartments, each distinctively decorated with a blend of modern and classic furnishings and a well-executed theme (soft bridal, wistful garden, English hunting, nautical and more). The family suites feature two bedrooms with king beds, two baths, a full kitchen and ample living areas. The crowning feature of the hotel is a rooftop greenspace, where guests can enjoy sweeping views of picturesque Manteo and the surrounding waters of Shallowbag Bay and Roanoke Sound. The Pearl is perfectly situated for enjoying all the charms of Downtown Manteo, from restaurants and shops to attractions and events. It's also a nice respite from the bustle of the Outer Banks beaches, which are only a 10-minute drive away.
