They have brochures for places all over the state and some for Virginia as well. There was a note to limit yourself to 7 but I was provided with a bag and encouraged to take more as I gathered ideas for future trips. The staff was very friendly and provided suggestions on other stops to make in the area. You can walk to the boardwalk that is against the canal and read some of the signboards and markers.

I'd have stayed longer in the Outer Banks and done more exploring but not if I have to find a place to park my RV out of town. Bummer. For a plus, this welcome center does have a very free RV dump station. It's easy to access and that was very helpful. Inside, clean restrooms and a nice air conditioned spot for a quick break.

Once they said they were looking for a mattress with plastic on it and the other time I was on the phone, so they went away. Several other random knocks occurred and one woke me up very late at night. The sink stopper was broken, so they fixed it. They removed it by request and it worked better.

The hotel floors were non air conditioned and for north beach it looked like a ghetto. Having stayed at both la quintas and windows and found them to be wonderful, I am sure the head offices would be disgusted at this hotel. For the exorbitant price, I want a refund from corporate. La Quinta in California was the most beautiful I've ever seen and Wyndham in big cities are exactly the upscale experience they should be for guests. This is like a facsimile of the real ones and corporate would be mortified.
