We loved our breakfast and the woman who made our breakfast was really nice too and the food was delicious! Highly recommend! We would stay here again if we were in Oriental again.

They may not have the typical amenities of a 5 star hotel, but they do check all of the necessary boxes. This hotel is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained and It offers exceptional customer service. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and provide a range of thoughtful amenities like quality bedding, pillows, and towels, and a coffee maker. Although oriental NC is small and a town that is all about the water, it is not the most walkable town in NC, which is why location is key. Not only is this hotel closer to everything that matters, they have the best view right off the water than any other hotel in town. This is the most comfortable stay in town. Cheers!

It was ok, kind of like a Motel 6. What you need, but just…read more First, some things that were unusually nice: - The location right next to the water and a nice park - An easy and pleasant walk to many businesses and the main marina - Generally clean and tidy - Good water pressure from a nice showerhead and well marked soap containers in the shower - Full-sized coffee maker and microwave Here are some things that weren't so nice: - upon entry, there was a strong chemical smell - Importantly, there were very few outlets near the nightstands for chargers and other accessories - The bed made a fair bit of noise as you got in and out - The TV was small and would not connect to the network, and there was nobody available to help - Fridge was up against a wall to the right, but the door hinges were on the left so it was difficult to get into - There is one sink that shares kitchen and bathroom duty - The water got barely hot enough for a shower and took quite a while to get there - The floor was quite slippery when it was wet - The blinds would not raise and lower correctly - The toilet room door was very awkward; it was in the way as you went in, and if you tried to leave it open, it would swing into your legs - The heater was quite noisy - The heat was turned off when we arrived so it was chilly in the room - There was a barking dog at 3 AM on our first night - There is an instruction manual for the room, but it was clearly out of date - No windows in the bathroom or kitchen area - A fair bit of dirt on the door from hands - Coffee tasted stale - a kitchen, but no table despite being a large room

I found this place on airbnb.com while trying to find a place in Beaufort, NC for the 4th of July…read moreweekend. This was the closest thing open and after a bit of research on Oriental, I just decided to check out the town and the Croaker Festival instead of using it as a home base for Beaufort (about an hour or so away). The Captain's Quarters was such a beautiful place to stay. I was apprehensive because their website is old and the information wasn't quite the same as it was on airbnb.com. I got ahold of the manager, Linda, and that helped. The place used to be a traditional B&B, but now it is just a place to stay with a kitchen you can cook in. I stayed in the Blue Room, and it was clean and beautiful. I had a little en suite bathroom with a shower. Right outside my room was a side door to the wrap around porch, an amenity that I took full advantage of while I was there. There was only one other couple staying in the Quarters while I was there, so the house was super quiet. It is an old Victorian, so there are creaky floor boards and my door was a bit difficult to open and shut depending on the humidity. One of the greatest things about this place is the location. It's right across the street from the Old Theater, and just a short walk to the harbor. I went for the Croaker Festival and it was great to have a place so close to everything without being right in the center of all the activity. If I ever get down to Oriental again, I know where I'll be staying.

After we got on the road, my husband asked if I checked the reviews. I didnt. Well, when I did, I was horrified to learn that we were gonna stay in the Bates Motel! We stayed in the Fairway Villas. It was a small one bedroom unit upstairs. I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the door. It was clean. The full kitchen is more of a kitchenette, but its fine because we were only in for a long weekend. The gave us enough supplies to last us including 2 loads of TIDE for the washing machine. The bathroom is older but clean. The bed was comfortable and the pillows are nice. The patio furniture on the screened patio was covered in pollen but thats just this time of year in NC. We travel alot and I would most definately write a negative review if this place was as bad as I read about, but we enjoyed our stay and I would most definately come back.

Note, we just wanted to walk thru the community center at 3pm, which was when they open now due to the plandemic, and the lady running it opened it at 3pm exactly, and started taking names and phone numbers on her list for people to enter. After she took one name down, she announced the procedure is to take one name next from someone that calls in, to be added to the list, and then someone from us standing outside (about 15 people). I said, we just want to walk though and she said we are not getting in unless we are on the list. I said to my wife, why are we standing here, let's go.]] Still a great place to decompress if you don't have any need to swim or use the community center. We stayed in the Sandcastle Village II, with a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo with a nice quiet view on one of the pond. 4 nights here. Will be back but after the China virus stupidity is over. I know it's not Wyndham's fault, and we appreciate the quiet and clean place to stay. Awesome Jacuzzi tub!!!

This is the second time we've stayed here and both times the rooms have exceeded our expectations. Super clean & smells wonderful. The layout of the rooms are great & very spacious. Every time we have family members in town, we recommend they stay here! It's the perfect location for vacationers, multiple restaurants walking distance & the view of all the boats is always a treat. I highly recommend booking here

The pool was nice and not cold. The hot tub was a smidge too warm for my liking but my babe loved it. They don't offer breakfast but do have coffee in the office in the morning. Directly off the patio is the boardwalk to the beach. Overall a great lil place to stay. We will be back.
