No good thoughts. We walked in and the smell was terrible. Walked outside and sat on the bench outside long enough to find somewhere else to go. Wasted money but we could not stay there. Not well lit outside at all. I am not sure who wrote the great reviews but they were totally misleading in our opinion. This is the first time I have rented through Expedia and been disappointed. This was a very old place that someone has put a bandaid on to make money. You can put lipstick on a pig but….. After talking with a few locals, their opinion on this place aligns with mine.

Check in was great, no fuss! Was exactly as advertised. I had trouble getting hot water for a shower but my husband figured it out, so my fault. We had left a note for housekeeping for more coffee filters but didn't get any.

We used to stay here years ago, for about 8years running, until the motel changed owners. Then we looked at some other places because the price went up. We decided to book this one up recently, as the price was a little higher but the convenience and location i cant ignore. Was very happy with the new look, you can see many updates and upgrades to the whole property. Very clean room, very happy with how spacious it was, and honestly If i come back I would look at this motel first before anywhere else.

Cute and well thought motel room. Attention to detail was apparent. Special thanks to Olivia, she always reponded very promplty to our concerns. I would rate this excellent, except there was no ice machine, and the air conditioning unit is extremely loud. Although, it is maybe to be expected for a motel room to have loud a.c.

My wife and I needed a weekend beach getaway and so we booked a 2 night stay at the Tower Circle OBX motel because reviews said the location was walking distance to the beach. We were not disappointed! The Tower Circle OBX was a wonderful place to stay! The location is a quick 5 minute walk from the beach, parking is right on the premises and the location is also walking distance from restaurants and shops. The room was perfect for two and it appeared it had been recently renovated, so the bathroom and room furnishing were very nice. While the physical furnishings of the room were wonderful I must give a shout- out to the great service we experienced by the owners of the motel. My wife forgot her hairdryer and the motel did not have one, but we texted the hotel owner and within 10 minutes someone was at the door delivering a hairdryer to our room! This was exceptional service and it was so greatly appreciated!!! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the Tower Circle - nothing fancy, but practical, friendly and great location. Will definitely plan on returning.

Other than the terrible mattress it was a great place. The mattress forced us to the middle of the bed. It was encased in a plastic cover and the sheet kept slipping off. Since the main purpose of a motel room is to sleep - this was a challenge. I think the owners have remodeled recently - hopefully they will replace the mattress soon.

This classic but newly renovated beach hotel was a very good stay for 3 of us(couple with grand). Close walk to beach, extra large room, clean. Any messages to owners were quickly answered. We loved this area of OBX….not so busy as the Nags Head area. Bed linens are soooo comfy😀
