The See Sea Motel offers a budget-friendly stay in Kill Devil Hills, close to the beach and local attractions. Recent reviews highlight a mix of positive experiences, including cleanliness and convenience, alongside concerns regarding parking, cleanliness issues, and a lack of consistent service.
The beds were terrible! Location was perfect right down town in kill devil kills. I hate how we got the second level of the motel but it probably was because no one else wanted it and they expected we were fine because we were younger. I have a sprained ankle and struggled getting up the stairs we tried calling the managers once and got no replies. I don’t believe I’ll be staying here again..
DO NOT BOOK HERE! LEFT STRANDED OUTSIDE, COMPLETELY UNREACHABLE! booked a stay at the See Sea Motel via Booking.com. On the day of arrival, the motel failed to send me the required access code for the on line check-in (no check-in lobby, no on-site staff, no service). I was left standed outside late in the evening and was unable to access the room I had already paid for. I tried calling and emailing the property mutiple times to resolve the situation, but they completely ignored me and remained completely unreachable. In the end, I had to find and pay for another hotel at short notice just to have place to sleep. Absolutely unprofessional and a nightmare experience. Avoid this place if you want to make sure you actually have a room to sleep in.
First time staying here and definitely would come back! Room was really clean, beds comfortable, nice towels, great shower! We stayed in 18 which faced the beach road - a little noisy, but didn’t keep us from sleeping. Next time might get room 17. Wish they sold merch because their logo is awesome!
This place is a hidden gem of great value! Rooms are small but that's expected in a classic OBX motel. Renovations are great, room was very clean and smelled good, bathroom very nice. King bed was very comfortable. Parking could be tight in a full size truck but our small SUV had no issues. We'll definitely be back for some more weekend trips!
Checked in tonight to get an extra day before my house rental’s available. Seamless reservation and check-in process. Amenities are as described. Room is clean and exactly as advertised. Exterior could use some help, but that’s how it goes when the air is as salty as it is here. Parking is fine.. tons of comments saying how tight it is, but the photos show that. I drive a Silverado and it fits just fine. Would recommend for folks trying to grab an extra day or 2 out of their vacation! Wouldn’t recommend for people who don’t know how to drive and or/park.
The only good thing about this place is the location. THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR A/C OVER NIGHT (remotely)IF THEY FEEL ITS TO LOW. WENT TO BED WITH IT a/c 70 WOKE UP WITH IT AT 84. The parking lot is so small if we parked in front of our room it would have blocked the road out. Then walk in the room its hotas all get out almost 90 degrees in there we turn the a/c on, finally after like 4 hours its a decent temp. The toliet runs not stop the tv didnt work. The room was dirty as there was 1in thick of dust and the mirror was dirty. I wouldnt walk around without shoes. The refrigerator was turn off basically there was water we had to clean up where the freezer defrosted. took almost all night to get it cold enough for even drinks. We bought some homemade ice-cream and had to throw it away because the freezer wasn't cold enough to keep it frozen. Then probably our biggest thing was that it the room was finally a okay temp in the room that we could try to sleep on top of the covers it was still 73 degrees then when we woke up sweating because they remotely turned our a/c back to 84 while we were sleeping. It was cooler outside than in the room. We had such a terrible sleep we didn't even finish our vacation we just came home because we were so tired. I would have left that night if we thought we could have safely made it home. Called that noght of stay told manager would be there sunday. Called at 9am to talk to someone and no answer havnt been able to get ahold of anyone. Finally got ahold of someone at 2 pm same person as night before he told me the manager would be in monday. Just called this morning (monday) got the same guy and told they wouldn't be in until tomorrow. He said that its only the manger and he him, so the manger works when he dont, but yet dont know when the manager works.
This was the first time my husband and I lodged at the SeeSea. Our room (#18)was very clean and updated. The pool is small but very clean. This motel is not right on the beach but within walking distance. Very budget friendly too. We will definitely stay here again.
For anyone considering this place as an option, I would suggest not to spend your hard earned money here. This was our first time visiting the outer banks from across the state. While the location was not terrible and provided easy access, I would say that's about the only good thing it has to offer. Our family stayed in the Big Kahuna Suite and it was disgusting. Upon entering the apartment style room, a stench hits you in the face and lingered the whole stay. The carpets were filthy and stained, as was the couch and bedding. The kitchen was not correctly depicted as in the images. It was very disappointing having arrived after a long drive and facing this. It is not fair to spend this much and have such terrible spaces. There is minimal service and toiletries. The parking was tight for a family car as well. The wifi was spotty and often had a notification saying it was not secure. The cleaning ladies provide a few things such as toilet paper if asked and were super kind. Again, just don't contribute to this service.
Excellent location, smaller modest motel. There was not enough TP in the room(s). That's about the only complaint I can think of. Staff doesn't seem to be on site, which is fine. Contact info was given in case they were needed (they were not). Seemed clean enough. Not much time spent in there other than to sleep so it definitely served its purpose. We just might be repeat visitors.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the See Sea Motel. For the price and convenience you cannot beat it. As others have commented about dirty rooms— ours was NOT. It was clean and comfortable. As others have commented about parking— we had NO issue and we drove in an F150 and a Tahoe. We were not inconvenienced at all about having to walk our trash to a can, not having ice, or anything else. All of that information was made readily available at booking. We planned ahead and brought breakfast and lunch foods with us and ate in our room or by the pool daily. I think the only thing we were truly missing was a small table or a chair in our room— something other to sit on beside the bed. But otherwise we give this place a 10/10 for affordability, comfort and convenience.
