This motel is nothing as we expected. It was small, rundown and no one was onsite to answer any concerns, The tv didn't work for half of the stay and the backyard/picnic area was a mess. For the high prices, this was not worth it.

Arrived at the hotel at check-in time and went into office as directed in reservation confirmation that we received when booking through the motel’s website. No one in office. A sticky note directed us to call a number. No response for thirty minutes. We were hot and tired and happened to think to try the door to our room. It was open and there were keys in the room. When we finally got a call back we were told it was fine to go in. We asked about a motorcycle parked in our room’s spot and were told there was nothing they could do and we could park in the extra parking area. We were also told it was after hours (3:30 pm). The motel was older but mostly clean with some updates. The best part was the back deck area that looks out over Silver Lake.

Although the staff was unseen, they were very helpfull. The room was small and dated and had an unusual unpleasant smell. After 20 minutes of waiting I gave up on trying to connect to the internet and the cable buffered every 45 seconds. The walls were so thin we could hear the people on either side talking.

It was nothing like the pictures or description. Had a very unpleasant smell. Internet and cable horrible. Seemed to be a stopover for fishermen. However, the staff were very helpful.

Great stay We loved where we stayed. Had a front porch, back deck and a sitting area on dock overlooking the bay and could see the light house. We were able to walk to most stores and resorts. So Enjoyed it!!!

Older but very clean This is one of the older hotels on the island. We stayed off season and were the only quest that night. In fact we never saw the staff. Our room was left open with the keys and the next morning we left them in the office. Goes to tell how great this little town is. Very trustworthy. The hotel is located right downtown giving it easy walking to most things of interest. It is one of the older hotels. Definitely no extras but it was very clean and looks to have been freshly painted. I would stay again.

PERFECT! - LOVED IT!! My wife and I had a WONDERFUL time celebrating our 41 anniversary (Dec 30, 2024) and we LOVED staying at the Bluff Shoal Motel!! We GREATLY ENJOYED 5 days and 4 nights of peace and relaxation! The motel manager, Sissy, was EXCEPTIONALLY kind and helpful!! We understood that late December is NOT the tourist season and many stores and restaurants were closed. But just the right number were open for us to find exactly what were looking for! THANK YOU SISSY and THANK YOU OCRACOKE for our WONDERFUL visit!! We are VERY GRATEFUL! See you again, God willing! Most sincerely, Gerry & Daryl Ballough (Drexel Hill, PA)
