John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

Stumbled upon this hotel when planning my trip. Stayed here back in March. When calling to inquire about fees prior to reserving the front desk person that I spoke with over the phone wasn't able to answer my question about how much incidentals were. The room was spacious and pet-friendly. I do like that the hotel has pet-friendly rooms and areas. Breakfast was good. Parking can get crowded quickly. The pet area was convenient and we enjoyed the little boardwalk/gazebo area. The downside of the visit was the neighboring hotel room. They were VERY loud and inconsiderate of others between slamming doors, yelling, and being entirely too extra late at night.

Very disappointed. This used to be a favorite spot. We probably travel here once a month for a quick getaway but lately always have issues. Booked a room - according to the pictures online this room had a table and a sink area on the counter. Specifically chose this room type for the table so I could play cards with my daughter. That is not the room I was given abs when I went back to the lobby to ask about it was told "that's picture is of the penthouse" - which it absolutely is not. I've stayed in this type of room half a dozen times this year. Would not move me. Room is older and run down. Very disappointed.

Always a five star review for John Yancey...we have been coming back for many years with our pups. We love it here!

Been coming here for years. -always a great experience, great response with maintenance issues and very friendly. Just please fix the dam ice machine lol

Loved John Yancey. William and Courtney were great. Clean room, comfy bed and pillows. View was ocean and we loved it. Great weekend of knocking boots. Restaurants close by and dirty dicks crab house just down the road. Will def come back

Stayed at John Yancey Inn for labor day weekend with my family. Our room was very clean when we checked in (we stayed in the separate building to the left of the main building). We booked a "quadruple deluxe room" and it was a renovated room.I could smell lysol/bleach in the room - which was reassuring lolThe location is perfect- directly on the beach with easy beach access. We loved spending time at the pool which seemed to also be very clean. It was very convenient having the outdoor shower/bathroom for when you come in from the beach.Breakfast was appreciated- we had no issues with food being gone (we went for breakfast around 9-9:30). Standard breakfast you would expect at a hotel and there are plenty of food options nearby. The hotel fridge was big enough to store some food from the store. I would definitely book here again.

I totally forgot to leave a review about my experience this time last year! I assume the best signal that someone has a good hotel experience is a return visit. Well I'm currently packing my bags for another visiting starting tomorrow. Super excited!The only hotel I could find that's truly "on the beach". Well maintained and clean rooms. I love the fact that I feel like I'm already lounging on the beach from my balcony. No complaints what so ever. After my upcoming trip I'll be sure to update with some pictures.

Massive flooding in the Carolinas ruined our recent trip, every place we booked was reasonable in understanding our predicament, except this one. Yes, by the letter of the law they had every right to hold us to our reservation and not refund us, but if this is the level of understanding they displayed then not only am I glad we didn't stay there but we won't consider them next time, and there will be a next time.

Just left from a fantastic stay. Staff & management are amazing. Rooms were so clean & such a great location. Breakfast room was a great plus. Very convenient to so many restaurants. We love coming here since it is pet friendly and we can bring our dog. Everyone working we encountered was very friendly.

For $350. a night...definitely not a bargain or even fair! No housekeeping...only by appointment which has to be made 24 hours in advance...Clean towels available at only at desk. No housekeeping on Sunday...definitely not for Seniors...no help up 2 flights of rustic stairs...On arrivalFront Desk attendant was rude and unhelpful...Not even a minimal service...Not much good I can say about this place other than it is in Kill Devil Hills...check all websites before booking...
