My name is Robin James, I am the General Manager of the Beacon Motor Lodge. I am dismayed to find a negative review and not have to chance to respond to GS-Watch Out. The entire Outer Banks had problems for 3 or 4 weeks with flying knats caused by the Burns Road Fire in Tyrell County that has been burning since June 1. Father's Day weekend ...
this motel is incredibly old and it shows...although it sits nicely on the beach, it is moldy and our room was inundated with flying bugs that got into everything including the bed sheets. twice we had key problems (the key kept getting stuck in the door lock) and we were afraid to walk bare foot inside the room. the summer price was way out of line considering how outdated and unkept this place is.

Do Not Plan to Return
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/23/07
First impression was not a good one - lobby had a strange odor. Ice machine did not work. Bathroom was very tiny. Shower had a fixed facet with a trickle of lukewarm water. Room was 1950ish. Not worth the charge. Glad it was only one night we were booked in for.

this hotel is like the windsheild wipers and the other hotels are the bugs and it just wipes them off its windsheild. i wish that the only thing that they should improve on is that the pool should be a little bit bigger over all this hotel has a great location. right beside the water. it even has a shower in which you wash off before you enter the parking lot.
lov' ya see you next year maybe

Wonderful service, wonderful place! Access to the areas beauty and grand views will keep us returning. Would like to try fishing and have use of kitchen facilities to cook...
True Outer Banks atmosphere...have stayed there several times and keep coming back.Rooms are adequate and clean with a great staff.Shopping and nightlife are close by.One day drive from Canada makes it a great option to Florida for me.

Best on the beach
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/06
We have been vacationing in Nags Head off and on for 27 years and have always stayed @ the Beacon. We first went to the Beacon for the kiddie pools and we kept going because of the wonderful experiences we have had with Robin and Mr. & Mrs. James and all of our great friends from VA., New Hampshire, PA that we have continued to see over the ...

Stayed one night and plan on staying more. Can't say anything bad about it or the employees. Close to all we wanted. Plan on going back again soon.
