The Croatoan Inn, Buxton

Description was written for a 1950's motel. Did not reflect current run down conditions. General lack of minor repairs. Roaches and spiders in our room. Carpet should have been changed out 10 years ago. A little paint will go a long way to improve conditions. Wallpaper should be peeled the rest of the way off, not just left hanging. Hard water stains so bad, you could tell they don't even bother trying to clean anymore. Nightstand actually falling apart between beds and the vanity cabinet has been wet so many times it it falling apart. Avoid this one at all costs.

We arrived there to find a clean room. Kind of sparse, but it was ok. No internet, no WiFi and no phone in the room. You had better get what you want before 9pm because the office closes then and dosen't reopen until 6am the next morning. Beds were confortable....its an older motel, but still, its was clean and comfortable and that is all I really care about. It is in a pretty good location, just down the street from the Hatteras Lighthouse. As a matter of fact, all the lighthouses from Hatteras north on Highway 12 to the Currituck Lighthouse in Corolla can be driven too in a day....all can be seen in one day. Very closs to good fisihing areas and lots of bait and tackle shops. I'll stay there again.

First things first...those expecting the Four Season's need to get a grip on reality. The OBX does not have these types of accomodations available...anywhere. That having been said, the Falcon is one of my favorite places to stay on "The Banks". Clean, but modest rooms, with a staff that is very gracious and pleasant. In the off season, may be one of the best deals on the island, just a stones throw from the Lighthouse, Cape Point fishing beaches, and the Ocracoke ferry. Highly reccomended!

Hard beds , dirty carpet , musky moldy smell. Very old 1950's style. WAY overpriced like all outer banks bunkers. Good location, not beachfront but a car hop away... If you have never been to the Outer Banks it is very nice...Tghe problem is since there are a limited number of hotel/motel rooms the prices are very steep. There are no large resorts and chain stores etc. All Mom and Pop outfits. No Nightlife..Not Hip or Trendy , hardly a romantic motel to stay in , no internet , no spa...

LOVED THE LOCATION. NICE POOL. VERY CLOSE TO BEACH ACCESS/LIGHTHOUSE. MINI-GOLF AND ICE CREAM SHOP RIGHT NEXT DOOR. VERY CLEAN ROOM. LOTS TO DO WITHIN A SHORT TRIP FROM HOTEL. ONE OF THE FEW "OLD STYLE " HOTELS LEFT. VERY QUAINT. FRIENDLY STAFF. WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. MY WHOLE FAMILY GOES THERE AND I'M SURE THIS WILL BE A PLACE WE KEEP GONG FOR YEARS TO COME.
