Shells galore! Whelk cases & mermaid purses, too!
Krisdena R.

I originally reserved a 2 queen suite w/sofa bed and kitchenette, however, my husband "upgraded" our reservation to ocean view, which was a smaller room w/balcony (w/o kitchenette). Lesson learned. The covered/recessed balcony provided privacy from next-door neighbors and provided beautiful views of the sunrise/beach. Staff friendly and accommodating, breakfast offerings included egg items (scrambled, omelettes), meat (bacon chicken sausage/links), seasoned potatoes, cereal, breads,pastries/scones, Belgian waffle station (churro flavor was different), oatmeal, and coffee/tea/hot cocoa/juice, and fresh fruit. Coffee/tea/cocoa and citrus water station near entrance/front desk stocked 24/7. Beach is great for shelling/walking. I found the location to be conveniently located for shopping, food, Historic Corolla Village, Currituck Lighthouse, Currituck Beach Maritime Forest Trail Lookout (wheel chair accessible boardwalk to lookout; hiking trail through forest off boardwalk), and 4x4 beach access. If you're expecting to see wild Spanish mustangs, chances are slim and I recommend investing in a horse tour on 4x4 beach. Well worth the money (tours may be closed for season, so dbl check hours/offerings). If you're into sightseeing, you are ~ 1 hour drive to Bodie Lighthouse, Coquina Beach, and Pea Island. Hatteras is further south ~ 2 hours. I love visiting in the off seasons n and was surprised the number of businesses and restaurants still open during Thanksgiving holiday.

Stayed for a week just before the season. This visit, different room on 2nd floor overlooking the parking lot. Had a balcony which had a couple of chairs and a small table. Nice spacious room for a small family with 2 queen beds, tiny kitchenette and sitting area. Now seeing our 3rd different room it seems that maintenance is lacking or the hotel itself needs some room refurbishment. This time the bathroom floor tiles were broken, which wiggled when you stepped on them and minor rusty bathroom fixtures. At least this time the room didn't smell of must and mold. The staff were all really friendly from the front desk to the room attendants. The hotel location is great if you want to get away from the busy beaches of KHawk, KDH, & Nags. If you plan to eat out a lot in those areas and don't mind that drive and traffic during peak season. Otherwise stick to Duck/Corolla for local eats close to the hotel. I really like this location just wish they kept the rooms updated. The morning breakfast is interesting to watch the old folks complain and fight over the food. If you see a tour bus pull in that night, expect the next morning to be busy. Get your breakfast early before it gets busy.

After hearing horrible things from Yelp and other review websites we were scared at how our stay was going to be like! But once we checked in, the room was very clean, no molds, no smell of mold, and the staff was very nice and texted you throughout the stay to make sure things were in order. The pool was very clean, they had towel stations constantly filled with towels, and a rinse station to take sand off! I can see how people say its outdated but i thought it was pretty good for the price you are paying. My only complaint is the shower water pressure. But other than that it was a nice stay. Didnt try their breakfast since we wanted to try breakfast places in the area

*WARNING LENGTHY* I will start by saying we're definitely returning to this location-but with the knowledge from this past experience, we'll avoid the previous mistakes. We used the app to check-in and pick a room, so that we could use our phone and check in (using our Hilton Honours account). The "waive your phone" in front of the suite door does work, but you can't get into the building doors without a proper keycard-just FYI, unless you only walk around the entire building (from the beach) and go through the front lobby. We did not get the room we chose, but that didn't really matter-or so we thought. We dropped off our bags - including my carryon directly on the floor at the foot of the bed (this comes back to bite me) and headed out to meet friends and family. We were here for our 25th Anniversary and my partner's 50th birthday. We DID notice a mouldy smell in the room, but the AC was on blast and it was still warm, so we figured it had just been cleaned and maybe the door to the hall/outside and brought in the dank/damp smell. We assumed when we returned, it would have cleared. We were wrong. When we returned to the room that evening, absolutely exhausted from 2 days drive, and meeting up with everyone. We just wanted to pass out and sleep. But the dank smell and the muggy air pumping out the AC were practically choking us. We dialled the AC down (it was still reading 75) and my husband jumped in the shower - which, on a side note, filled to his ankles within minutes. That's when the ball dropped. I went to pick up my carryon luggage, and saw water dripping off the bottom. I immediately put it on the table and walked around the side of the bed (closest to the sliding doors) and my shoes were squishing water up from the carpet. The room had clearly been previously flooded (storm), and the standing water mildewing in the room was what we were actually smelling. I pulled out my clothes from the carryon luggage and they had absorbed the dark water about halfway up. My luggage was tweed, and also soaked through and ruined. I threw it away when we got home after attempting to save it. You would have to understand true exhaustion, to the point we were almost delirious, to understand why we chose to lay on the bed and fall asleep despite this scenario. I cried myself to sleep (so hard I got a nosebleed), but with the resolve to address the room nightmare in the morning. In the morning, we woke to an even stronger stench. The AC at 74F (only 1 degree difference). I put on clothes from my dry suitcase and went down to explain to Isis that our room had water in the carpet, smelled terrible, the AC wasn't working, the shower was clogged, and on the way out I also found water coming out of the refrigerator onto the tile floor at the entrance. She gave me a room key to a different room, but it didn't work. So when I came back to explain that it didn't work, Glen redid the key card and I went back up for the second time, to find a perfectly clean, sanitised room that I would have given a kidney for the night before. But then I had to get a luggage cart and load up everything we had just unloaded the night before. Without my husband-whom I had to force to leave so not to miss part of his birthday week, whilst I promised to sort the room issues myself. That's my own fault. A couple employees came to my room, possibly to address the issues (?) and were absolutely gobsmacked that we were put in the room in the first place-did they know it had flooded from the last storm? They splashed their feet in the carpet and just shook their heads at the smell, etc. They also saw I was overwhelmed having to move 2 weeks of luggage and belongings and called the wonderful Simon from maintenance to my room. I will say Thank God for Simon. He was the only help I received. He was a superhero! Not only did he help get the overloaded luggage trolley to our new room-he even helped me take everything off and put it in its respective place. Simon deserves a raise! I owe that man a drink! So, after I moved all my stuff and re-unpacked it, so our vacation could actually start in the beautiful Outer Banks. Housekeeping was on top things each day. The rooms could definitely use some updating in spots, but generally clean and in good condition. Breakfast was just lovely for a quick grab-and-go Hilton style, and I loved, loved, LOVED seeing all the adorable dogs everywhere that I got to pet and boop, and with responsible owners keeping up with their potty cleanup duties! Right on the beach, perfect location, including a handy footwash. Unfortunately, Hampton Inn has no control over human guests that stay with them - which was our only other gripe (besides that first night). A quick scan of the license plates in the parking lot may explain it, but the poor desk staff clearly earn their halos when grimacing pensioners come whinging about the jacuzzi temps being too cold,complaining about breakfast, clouds blocking sunrise, etc.

Beautiful Hotel. Beautiful setting, Scenery, peaceful, quiet. Clean, smells good! Maid service wonderful, sanitary. Staff mostly courteous and pleasant. Usually accommodating. Couple complaints: watch the Balconies, may be Loose and Dangerous and is their liability if not fixed. (Didn't expect that of "Hilton").

View from the balcony. More pool than ocean or beach.
Colin D.

This was a hit and miss hotel. It's the only real hotel on the northern part of the outer banks, which was really convenient when we wanted to come down early before the beach house we rented was available, but it was a bit quirky when push came to shove. We stayed here for two nights to be able to come down early before our beach house rental. It's actually hard to find hotel rooms in the area because it's almost all houses, so this was sort of the only option unless you wanted to go almost an hour further south toward kitty hawk. It seemed like a nice place to get a room in a hotel on the ocean with a view. It turns out it was just a bit more funky than that. When we got to our room, it smelled a bit off. We figured that it's just hard to keep rooms in a hotel on the ocean super dry and this was born out by both the smell and the mold that was a bit visible in the corners of the room. A bit more surprising was that there was water on the floor near the fridge and sink. It came back despite cleaning it up, so clearly there's a slow leak somewhere in the room. If it wasn't for us getting in late with two kids that needed to go to bed and only staying for two nights, we might have complained or tried to switch rooms. As it was, we just stuck it out. We stayed in a big room with a balcony and a "view". The first two parts were great. We had a couch (that folded out into a second bed) in addition to two queen beds that made having a family of four easy. The table in the room also made playing games and eating easy. The balcony was a nice escape even after the kids went to bed and second only to having two different rooms. The view turned out to be basically of the hotel pool even though the ocean was in the distance. It wasn't _bad_ per se, but certainly not the view of the ocean you might like. The last thing to talk about was the breakfast. The first morning we were there, the breakfast was so good that it had me thinking I'd give the place the bump to four stars. They had the now-somewhat-standard Belgian waffle irons and waffle batter, but they also had great pre-made western omelets, sliced sausage, and grits. Sadly, the second morning just didn't live up to the first. The western omelets were replaced with watery scrambled eggs and the sliced sausage was replaced with paper-thin, mediocre bacon. Overall, come here if you need a place on the beach to stay and don't have rental house, but don't expect it to be much more than a standard, slightly-older-and-worn-than-average hotel.

The Corolla Hampton Inn is very nice. I'd say it is the nicest Hampton Inn I've ever stayed at. I was disappointed the balcony door was locked and the room had some dust as I discovered with my disinfecting wipes. The property is right on the beach just walk up the stairs and you are there to gorgeous views. I was only at the hotel about 10 hours as the tour bus arrived about 10pm so disappointed I didn't have more time to explore the property. But that is not the hotel's fault. I was able to see the sunrise! My room was quiet and a good size with the couch to sit and relax at and I did enjoy the ceiling fan. The midges (not biting mosquitoes) were on the balcony so that may be why the door was locked but I suspect it had more to do with being with the tour bus as other guests outside of the tour bus could open the balcony doors. The breakfast choices were plentiful. I'd stay here again if I made it back to Corolla.

Cherry on top of our family vacation in the OBX! This hotel was very nice and was great for our family. It's in a convenient location, it's close to the beach and close to some stores and restaurants as well. It's one of the only real hotels in the area, everything else is a beach house rental. The hotel was quiet and family friendly. The only complaint I have about this was that often, early in the morning you can hear the doors slamming from around the hotel. The doors are heavy and if you aren't careful make an awful loud noise when you let them go and slam shut, which is what was happening in the early mornings. Let's talk about some of the amenities this hotel has to offer! - There is plenty of parking, with lots of diamond member parking (I have stayed at multiple locations that only have 1-2 spots dedicated to this. This location had at least 10 and still had PLENTY of room for other cars, which was awesome!) There's an outdoor pool that's 5ft deep, with plenty of seating, a kiddy pool & a lazy river PLUS an indoor pool! They have beach access with showers to wash off after the beach, which is always a plus. Breakfast is offered every morning with an array of options. They alternate their hot foods, they have cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, coffee, a waffle maker with toppings, muffins, bagels, and more! The front desk has a giant selection of items for purchase (pop, water, energy drinks, wine, seltzers, ice cream, candy, chocolate bars, chips, medicine, snacks, travel essentials and more) for a decent price. Our rooms were cleaned daily, stocked with fresh towels, and freshly made beds without making a request at the front desk. Plus all of the employees were so kind and greeted us every single time they saw us. They were always so happy and friendly and willing to help out in anyway possible. They made our stay 10 times better with their upbeat personalities and smiling faces. The only downside of the hotel was that it could use some cosmetic upgrades. Our room had a few cosmetic upgrade needs (the screen door was off track, there was a small hole in the wall, and it looks like there is small water damage on the ceiling). But other than that the hotel was perfect and great for our stay.

I booked our room over the phone and confirmed and selected my room online. Upon arrival I was told we were in a different room. the room I booked was not available. They did on the next day move us to the room I reserved. This hotel is in need of daily maintenance. Our room had the following rust on the door hinges in the bathroom, a hole in the bathroom door, tile coming off the wall in bathroom, rust on the back of the bathroom door, the runner for closet door was completely rusted, carpet coming away from the wall in multiple locations, stains on the chairs for the table, pestilence door handle lock was broken. Our 2nd room the shower walls were cracked in several places, loose floor tiles. Sad that this hotel is in such a wonderful location and is very poor condition. I would recommend this hotel based on the condition.

This was our third visit here in four years which tells you a lot that we like the area and that we like this hotel. Why write another follow up to my follow up? This time was different in that we were staying in season versus over Christmas and this time we stretched out our visit to an entire week which helps to give some perspective as to how this place operates. The best thing about staying here is location, location, location! Right on the beach and way out of the tourist areas of KDH and Manteo which is truly the best of both worlds. You get a lot of peace and quiet while giving up nothing in terms of proximity to the beach. The other good thing is that if you head north into Corolla proper there is a fair amount of entertainment, activities and food to keep you busy for a few days without needing to go through the headache of Duck traffic. In terms of service everything is truly top notch. I recognized during our stay a few familiar faces from prior trips and in talking with some staff they told me that the turnover rate here is very low. A lot of people have been here a long time. Always great when the houseman on your floor recognizes you from a prior stay over a year ago and gives you a big handshake while mentioning that if we need something to just ask him. Our check in process was a breeze and we got the room that I e-checked in to the day prior. The room itself was as expected. Two queen beds with a microwave, fridge and everything in order. Two minor negatives would be that the couch is very worn/soft. It felt like you would sink into the floor whenever you sat on it. We also needed to have maintenance spray our balcony for the mosquitoes (I forget the proper name of the bug) which helped greatly. The night we got there we couldn't go outside as they were everywhere and on everything. Housekeeping was perfect everytime we had them in the room. Breakfast is still a bit of a meh, as they don't rotate the hot items often enough. Five out of seven mornings it was either the cheese omelet or the western omelet. Viva Variety! Scrolling through some of the comments for this place makes me realize how warped perception can be. Over our three visits we've spent almost twenty nights here and honestly it's a great hotel that is very well run. I mean sure there are some things like the old sofabeds that hopefully get addressed sometime soon but overall for a Hampton Inn (Not a Full Service Hilton or a Waldorf) this one is fantastic and I look forward to many stays in the future.

On a beautiful beach

Pros: -Location is excellent. This hotel is steps away from the beach. And while the pool isn't the most beautiful that I've seen it's clean and nice sized. Plus there is a small lazy river. -Rooms have a small outdoor terrace. We were lucky enough to have one that faced the pool / ocean. -Complimentary breakfast and cookies in the lobby every day -Good service. We had a few issues with the room and someone promptly came up to repair it. Cons: -The rooms are old and dated. The patio door barely worked and it was super dirty and rusty. The whole patio could have used a more thorough cleaning. -The drainage in the bathroom sink was poor. -Bugs everywhere. There were massive clumps of bugs in the stairwell that were not cleaned at all during the duration of our 3 night stay. Four stars because there were only some issues with cleanliness, but nothing major. If you stay here you are probably spending most of your time on the beach anyway.

Coming in, there were folks in front of us who weren't even on the list, had no tickets, no ID presented, just got their names taken down. I feel all of this was because the attendant didn't want them to cause a fuss or make a scene, like so many folks will do these days. However, we had to present our IDs and the receipt of our paid tickets. I sure could have saved a lot of money. Lol. The lines were ridiculous. We paid $120 basically to get in the door and get cold crabs. My wife found a hair in her BBQ. Sure, it happens, I get it. We paid over $20 for two glasses of wine. Oh, not full, but more like samples. Interesting! The bathroom situation was abhorrent. Incredible lines, and only two that I could find. I'm sure Sanctuary Vineyards made a lot of money off of their false advertisement. Good for them. Enjoy it. Spend it wisely. Doubt a lot of patrons will not be back.

I so cannot remember the owner of this place, but hopefully I took a picture of the card and posted…read moreit here. Nevertheless, this place is phenomenal!! I believe this place is fairly new, because I so remember something else being in this spot some years ago. However, I could be wrong, but let's focus on present day... I was invited to a 50th birthday celebration here last Saturday. I had a general idea of where the place was located since I am sorta familiar with the area being a native and all. But we arrived close to 7pm and everything was all set up. My friend advised us to arrive at 6:45pm because it was a surprise party for her husband... so we popped in and everything was in tact. Even the workers were on their post awaiting to great the guest and provide service. I especially loved seeing this! I don't know about you, but I have been places where people are still setting up or put the early arrival guest in a waiting area until the main area is set. Well not at 757 events, they were on point!! I can be long winded when writing reviews, but I like to give yall an experience and feel how I felt when I visited. Especially, since this is the first review... This place is really all the rage!! Not too big of a event space, but just the right size to entertain a group of 100 maybe more. But a few tables were set up along with a few cocktail tables... a club lounge vibe it gave. I believe the owner decorate the spot, so my friend gave a vision and it came to life last Saturday night. Another big plus... the owner catered the event. The buffet set up is away from the party people... I loved this!!! I didn't have to worry about smelling like food or even the venue smelling like food! The bar set up... another big plus!! I believe the bartender was set up through the owner and he was on point too. Even though he was a one man show, he kept the drinks flowing... no complaints, all smiles!! Now the parking lot is rather small. I did not notice if more parking was behind the building. But if you arrive early enough no worries here, as we did. Overall, this place is gorgeous and far as I can see ran properly and with love! You can tell whoever is behind this, loves what they do. I highly recommend you look into this venue space for your party needs big or small. Take care and enjoy life :)

She is such a joy to work with. For someone like me that worries about every little detail, I felt comfortable leaving it all to her.

The staff that was there on the day of my event were also very friendly and professional. We loved the bartender. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Not one complaint was given. You will not be disappointed if you book with 757 events. They handle it ALL, food, decorations, liquor, DJ if needed. My husband had the best surprise party ever. I will book here time and time again. Thank you, Karen, and your wonderful staff!
