Spacious suite perfect for extended stay
Reviewed By Kygirl56This Hampton Inn with suites is the best option for extended stays. Quite spacious. Loved having both a couch and a comfortable side chair. The breakfast included fresh fruit— bananas, pears, apples and oranges, more fruit options than I’ve seen elsewhere. And this Hampton had dark roast coffee. Others I have stayed in recently had only light roast. I was there during the nor’easter so didn’t use the beach or outdoor areas and pools but it looked like a great spot to hang out. The hotel wasn’t crowded and was quiet. Daily housekeeping seems to be a past dream but that’s ok as towels and toiletries are left outside door daily. One can place trash outside door too. There were extra trash bags provided in the room.

Suggestions
Reviewed By Safari305519While the property and furnishings are first rate, there are a few things that weren’t (as discussed in survey): toilet paper quality inferior, some minimal service should be made to the rooms daily (check supply status: toilet paper, cups, coffee, possible need for clean towels). Grilled chicken at Thursday night event was almost inedible as it was quite over cooked.

Meh
Reviewed By Sheila HLet me start by saying this was my second work visit to GPI. The issues with my room this year (2022) were the same issues I had with my room and experience preCOVID. Both times the shower in my room had mildew/mold all over the walls. This tells me they do not bleach the showers—a huge red flag at any time. For the price, I do not expect to need flip flops for my shower. This was also the second time the room had a broken/ burnt out lamp. Given the shortage of light in the room, this is an issue. The temp in the rooms don’t go below about 69degrees, so if you are like me and really enjoy a cold room, forget about it! The hallways were quite warm as well. My room was ground floor, facing the air conditioning units. Should you find yourself in this room, be sure to check the windows. I didn’t realize until after I’d been in the room over 24hours that the window was open. It simply never occurred to me to check to be sure windows were locked. The staff saw fair—none of the southern hospitality I’d expected. The lobby is nice and the lobby view is exceptional, but I can’t recommend a stay.

Great place to call home for 10 days
Reviewed By margaretsS920INWe stayed in a partial view room with a balcony and everything was perfect. It was so nice to wake up every morning and watch the sunrise from bed. The gorgeous beach was just a quick walk over the dunes on the wooden walkway/stairs. The pool was great after a hot day on the beach. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area. Everything you would need was conveniently located.

Overpriced, tired and not luxury
Reviewed By S DThis is not a luxury hotel but does charge luxury prices. Our $500 per night room was tired and in need of an upgrade. It had cracked floor tiles in the bathroom, staines on carpet and soft furnishings etc etc. There was no drinkable water in the room and when asked the staff said ' come down and get one complimentary bottle of water'.....no room service due to the pandemic still (?) The beach bar was closed even in peak season when we asked were told we could go across the parking lot for a drink.... My main issue was the single use plastic its everywhere!! Please stop wrapping paper cups in plastic then wrapping that in more plastic its unbelievable and mind blowing in 2022... we won't return, sorry not sorry.

Perfect Weekend
Reviewed By eal24601This was a last minute one night trip to just get out of town and relax. Golden Sands was the perfect place to do this! Finding the office was a little tricky but check in was smooth and the staff was very friendly. The buildings are older but are maintained well and the room was spotless. Being right on the beach and having a balcony was amazing! We can't wait to come back and relax some more.

Lovely Inn!
Reviewed By 569louiseaWe had a wonderful stay at The Inn on Pamlico Sound. It's a beautiful location with a relaxed vibe. We had to check in very late & the folks at the Inn couldn't have been more accommodating. Our room (Camelia) was spacious & comfortable. We loved the fact that we didn't have to bring our own beach chairs or towels as the Inn provided them. Breakfast is included in the room rate & it was excellent. Room service is available for breakfast however, the service & view from the on-site restaurant (Cafe Pamlico) was fantastic so we ate in the restaurant most mornings. We also had dinner at the restaurant two nights & the food was delicious. The sunset views were perfect for our anniversary dinner. The staff in both the hotel & restaurant were excellent. We look forward to our next trip to The Inn on Pamlico Sound!

Great Hotel, Perfect Location, Terrific Staff
Reviewed By MarshJMShort family vacation. It was our first time to the Outer Banks and we were very happy with our hotel choice. The Hilton Garden Inn was centrally located on the Island right on the beach. From our balcony we had a beautiful view of the beach, ocean and pool with gorgeous sunrises every morning. Jeremy, the General Manager and his team offered excellent and friendly customer service throughout our stay. Special shout-out to Max in parking lot security, Melvin who assisted us with beach chairs and Vanessa in the restaurant. They were all so friendly. When traveling to the Outer Banks, I strongly suggest the Hilton Garden Inn Kitty Hawk.
