This is a bad room if you want sleep. Both nights we stayed we had people sitting below our window hanging out and talking until midnight. We had to turn on the AC unit to drown out the noise. This is enough so that we won't stay here again. The hotel itself is fine and the beach access nice. Restaurant is good and they have some good staff there. There are also two good restaurants right across the street where you can avoid having to drive for a couple days. My advice to the hotel is to out the chairs away in the courtyard after 10 pm so you don't have parties forming in area that allows trapping conversations and keeping people awake. Your windows are not sound proof.

The Inn itself is very clean and has a lot of interesting history that Lee (the manager) will happily share with you. The rooms are well kept and super clean with plenty of amenities available. The continental breakfast is thoughtfully provided with fresh fruit salad and an array of cereal, bread and other options. They also have plenty of coffee and a tea station that I particularly loved with an array of options and even teapots on hand. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of blooming flowers and green space to enjoy yourself and hang out.

We stayed at BIS via a timeshare exchange. Not much has changed since our last stay. Yes,…read morefurnishings are dated. Yes, our coffee maker needed to be replaced the first morning on site. And, yes, the front right burner on our stove didn't work, but, the three other burners did. So, what am I saying? Despite the shortcomings, our unit was reasonably clean and comfortable. And, the TV's and washer and dryer were updated. Check in staff was courteous and thorough. The beach was fantastic although I went after 5 most days. Yes, I've read the reviews telling folks to stay away. You can, but, you'll be missing out on a diamond in the rough. A Sleep Inn opposed to a JW Marriott. When checking in, I noticed some story boards highlighting some changes that may be in the future. Could it be fractional ownership? It could work if fees are reasonable. Privately owned BIS condo fees run up to around $1,000 per month but also include some stuff like tv, Internet, flood insurance and the like. I've seen quarter shares,as in 13 week ownership PLUS annual maintenance fees for EACH WEEK!No way, ever, would I fall for that. Instant bankruptcy, lol. BIS, if they're like most timeshare associations face maintenance fee delinquency rates of about 50% of owners. Not good. One I belong to is dissolving and selling units outright, starting with mine, so, I'm done there. Sad. Perhaps folks with vision and consumer value in mind, while making a decent profit, of course, can turn these properties into gold again. Recommend.

We had a ground floor room with two queen beds. There was a "back" door leading to a small sitting area looking at the dunes. We could hear the water from there. We did go up the stairs to see the water view, but it was way too cold to sit outside. There is also an indoor pool and jacuzzi. We didn't use it but it was good to know it was there. My only complaint was the shower. It was very difficult to route the water from the faucet up to the showerhead and the water was only lukewarm. If we had stayed longer, we would have asked for a different room because of that. We could tell the hotel has been updated within the last few years. It wasn't faded decor, but had a clean, classy vibe. Not a high-end resort hotel, but certainly worth the price and it's conveniently located.

The beds are very comfortable & warm! We can't wait to come back in the summer!!

There are absolutely things about this TownPlace Suites that I would like to see changed or that I…read moredidn't like, however I'm still giving 5 stars because of the location and the setup they have here and because I personally would go back without a second thought. First, some of the issues I have: The room layout puts one bed very close to the air conditioner and because they have the old-fashioned hotel style AC units, that leaves at least one person getting directly blasted with cold air all night. Using pool towel clips to put a towel over one side of the vent did help but reduced the efficacy of the AC and made the room warmer for everyone else. Breakfast is nice (and free) but the setup of it seems to be done as if this is a business hotel and not a beach front hotel. The cereal choices were all boring adult cereals, the bread for toast was VERY whole grain (as in it had pieces of grains in it), and the only milk they had was white milk (for example). Adding a small amount of more kid-friendly breakfast elements would go a long way. The outdoor pool is sheltered from the wind by the sand bank and gets really hot in the sun, a lightweight shade over the whole (or part of) the deck would probably be a welcomed addition by most people. As for what's great about this place: The location includes a beachfront pool + small snack shack with beach access which is directly across the road from the hotel itself. This gives the best of both worlds with beachfront access as well as having better parking and more room on the hotel property. On non-weekends the price is super affordable for a beachfront Marriott property. Not to mention the only Marriott property on the Outer Banks. It's very close to great food options, many walkable. Stuff for both adults and kids is easy to access. It's also not far to many interesting sightseeing or cultural things to see. All-in-all, I would love to see some minor changes but even with some flaws this is definitely a 5 star option.

Do not stay at this hotel…read more I've stayed in many Marriott properties over the years, but I wish I could give minus five stars to TownePlace Suites OBX. Infrastructure The website photos are completely deceptive. The hotel is not well maintained, despite being built in 2017. There are leaks throughout the property, and visible pockets of mold. The "Blue House" across the street (the beach access point) feels like an afterthought. There was only one deck chair, and it was broken. The handrail leading to the deck was also broken. Hygiene Poor. The interior is not properly cleaned, and both elevators were consistently dirty. Outside, there were empty bottles and trash bags scattered around the parking lot. Beach access Disappointing. If you're expecting easy, relaxing beach access based on the website photos, you'll be let down. You have to cross a street where pedestrians don't have the right of way, pass the poorly maintained deck, and then use stairs to reach the beach. Not worth the hassle. Breakfast Very poor. It's grab-and-go, extremely limited, and tasteless. Skip it and eat elsewhere. Service Unhelpful. We prepaid for a three-night stay but decided to leave after two nights due to the issues above. The front desk did not offer any flexibility or even a credit toward another Marriott property--we simply lost a night. Save yourself the headache. Stay elsewhere--areas like Duck or Corolla offer a much better experience. I'd also avoid Kill Devil Hills altogether; it's not walkable and doesn't offer a pleasant stay.

It was not the biggest and newest but it was an ok place to stay for a night. The breakfast was good and had a lot of choices.

The pool was calming and had a beautiful view but the water was cold, we did get to use the corolla light amenities when we were at the inn. I think this place is a place to explore corolla and not just be in your room. Overall it was a good time, everywhere was pretty close. Best for 2 to 3 people and good for couple.
