We had an unobstructed view of the sound. Our room was large, with a super comfortable king bed and a jetted tub. Breakfast was included and it was terrific- ordered from menu with lots of options and plenty of food. Pamlico Inn is outstanding!
Mary, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The folks at the Inn were wonderful, helpful and understanding. If we make it out to the Outer Banks again we would definitely consider staying here again! The food at the Cafe was fabulous! Service was excellent and even if you don't stay at the Inn you should go eat there!

A very unique inn with fine dining on the premises. Rooms are lovely, bed comfortable, breakfast scrumptious. Ample parking however if you're on a motorcycle, be prepared for some gravel

Everything was great
James, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms were a little small and outdated for the price. Paying top dollar - granted the expectations were a little on the high side for bathroom, amenities, area in general, service. May still be the best in the area but don't expect the type of value you would typically expect for this price. The bed for example made huge creaking noises whenever you made a small move which made sleeping a little more difficult...
Frank, 2-night trip

Superb place to stay! Would definitely come here a

The Inn was really nice. Very friendly staff. Our room was decorated very nice. Beautiful water view. The bed was very comfortable. The bath towels were superb. We really enjoyed everything. Breakfast was delicious!

Poor had a loud wedding hard to sleep went late after staff was gone
Tommy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean room. Quiet air conditioning felt great at night in the middle of the hot and humid summer. Big very comfortable bed. Extremely convenient high quality restaurant with great food at this inn. We enjoyed every meal with a great variety of choices. Friendly attentive and efficient staff. Lots of small welcoming touches like morning coffee in the lobby and afternoon cookies. On-site EV charging; very important for our vehicle eliminating range anxiety. Absolutely beautiful view overlooking Pamlico sound with spectacular sunsets. Highly recommend!
Carey, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Too Hot!!!!

ROOM WAS TOO HOT, no control over temp for individual room, no one to help after 5pm.
Melissa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was ok not the cleanest ( but building is older so maybe that has something to do with it) they have packed a restaurant, pool, local events and hotel in a small area. Staff was very friendly, good cookies and very greatful for snacks in room upon arrival. For the area it was probably good.
Wendy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint little inn with an outstanding restaurant!

Staff and servers were attentive and friendly, and everything was clean. The complimentary breakfast at the gourmet restaurant far exceeds any other hotel comp. breakfast. The setting on the Pamlico Sound is gorgeous with many decks to enjoy the scenery.
Christine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were fantastic and very helpful. Breakfast was a great start for the two days we were there. The bed was very clean and super comfortable! The small dock on the sound was a bonus, I was able to get a little fishing time in. We look forward to visiting this Inn again!

Pamlico Paradise

Very much enjoyed our time - the Staff are awesome; food is very good and plentiful. Only one negative note: the walls and floors are thin, so depending on how busy and how lucky you get with neighbors, and your tolerance for human noise, this may affect your experience.
