What guests think

Across many reviews of Comfort Inn South Oceanfront, guests praise the oceanfront setting with easy beach access and a large deck, frequently compliment the friendly staff, and repeatedly note long waits from a persistently broken elevator and an aging property.

Ocean views and balconies are highlights for many stays. Cleanliness and maintenance feedback ranges from very clean rooms to reports of odors, pests, and worn or malfunctioning fixtures. Breakfast is included and often described as decent or better, though variety and quality can be uneven, and the pool and common areas show their age. Expect stellar views and beach time, but be prepared for older infrastructure and variable standards.

Facilities

Oceanfront deck and direct beach access are big positives. However, one of two elevators is repeatedly out of service and facilities, including the small pool and common areas, feel dated.

The motel was clean and great location, but could use some updating. Only one elevator, the other one was broken. Our favorite part was the outside deck. Newer construction and right on the beach!

While the property was located in a good location, the cleanliness of the property needs to be improved. When they say pet friendly I didnt realize they were providing the pets. Came into room and had a roach on the bed. Told the front desk and they said that exterminator was coming soon.

My girlfriend and I planned to stay at this location for 3 nights. Upon checking into the room around 8 PM, we were overwhelmed by how bad the room smelled, we were expecting some odor from a pet-friendly room but not this bad. We opened the balcony door and hoped that the smell would go away over night. The next day we noticed that the smell was still there. Upon checking closely in afternoon, we noticed that one of the double beds we hadn't slept in, smelled almost like urine. We quickly ordered room service and made them change all the sheets. The cleaning lady did a good job but sprayed whatever cleaning agent they use all over the floor, leaving it wet for an hour. The pillows are all old, thin and lumpy, we asked for replacements but were only given 2. The bedsheets are paper thin and don't feel comfortable at all. We asked for an upgrade or a different room but were incorrectly told that they had no other options for pet-friendly rooms. Upon discovering the dirty beds, we requested a cancellation of 2 nights, but they only processed the next night's refund since we were 4 hours into the second day. The staff was helpful enough but I wish they would've made more of an effort to shift us to an another room or refund 2 nights. I am very disappointed in this stay. The only good thing was the location which is near to the beach. But I'd rather stay at another similarly priced location near the beach than this hotel.

There was a roach in our bathroom in the morning of checkout. I sent a photo to the customer service front desk number they initially texted me on and it was not addressed. Scary to know the situation wasn’t handled properly and that a German roach was out and about in broad day light. They only do that when an infestation is bad.

Very Bad Mildew smell in room, stained popcorn ceiling that kept dropping dust on everything. Only one working elevator for 7 floors…so long wait. Our room was near a laundry shoot, so the housekeepers were SCREAMING “HEADS UP” starting around 7am. Old scratched up furniture—needs an update.

I had a great experience this past weekend , I was able to check in earlier than 4 , which was a plus as I am 35 weeks pregnant and was feeling tired . We also noticed that our AC unit was not working in the room , we expressed the concerns to the front desk and someone came to look at it within 15 minutes. The maintenance guy replaced the whole unit very quickly and then came and checked on us again to make sure it was still working ( which it was !!) Great Beach access and deck area for relaxing . Breakfast was buffet style but simple ( eggs , bacon, fruit , cereal, muffins , bread , waffles, juice ) I would definitely stay here again, it was a good experience.

The view of the KFC and Taco Bell was not what I paid for. The manager- Jennifer then said it was my responsibility to call the hotel directly after booking to make sure. Never again!!!! Horrible stay for my family.

We’ll start with the good- it’s in a great location with easy beach access. That being said, hotel condition and cleanliness left a fair bit to be desired. Only one working elevator the five days we were there, lots of dingy carpet, broken trim pieces by doors, water issues that have been painted over, etc. There were staff who were super helpful and kind (breakfast guy especially), but we also had extremely unhelpful and even snarky front desk staff who had confirmed on the phone that we had requested adjoining rooms for our family. I was told that rooms with those requests get assigned first, so they were confident they would be able to deal with the request even though it wasn’t guaranteed. Fast forward to our arrival, and they had given the adjoining room away already (even though we arrived just before check in time), and said we were stuck with whatever was left. That was pretty disappointing, but the cherry on top was the shoulder shrug, half smile that reeked of snarkiness as it was said “Oh well, what are you going to do? It’s not guaranteed…”. Moving past that, other thoughts- A/C worked great in one room, but minimally in another. Breakfast was OK, and kept well stocked. Biggest other concern was the folks smoking on their balconies near the pool, and not always cigarettes… So in the end, we had our beach trip. It was fun, but the hotel didn’t really add to our enjoyment basically at all. We were hoping for better than that based on prior reviews. Disappointing

We loved the time spent there. However when checkout came they said we had not paid the pet fee. My neighbor with me paid $266.90 and I told her I had paid that fee when we checked in on 5/11/25. I was given no invoice on 5/11/25 so I had no backup. When I got home I checked my checking account and there was a charge of $342.68 drawn on my account. The manager Jennifer was very rude when I explained this to her. She said there was no record of my payment, but then she said she had released the amount to go back to my account. This has been most unpleasant and after a great vacation it ends with a sour note. She said the employee who checked us in was no longer there.

We enjoyed our two night stay. The location is excellent. Even our standard room had a view of the ocean. There was an issue with our tub drain that was fixed immediately. Breakfast was good. It’s definitely a hotel that hasn’t been updated in a while, so if you are looking for luxury and perfection, it’s not for you, but we found it to be exactly what we wanted. The elevator is the only complaint I have! It’s very slow and only one of two was working.

Super convenient for our fishing trip however the property has fallen on some rough times. I’ve stayed there maybe 6-7 times in past 20 years and feel now maintenance has been deferred for far too long. The door looked as though it had been opened with a crowbar, light switch in bathroom threw sparks, shower control fixture falling off wall, drains slow draining, rust. Pool needs serious professional maintenance help. Reinvest in your property or it will be gone before you know. Breakfast was mostly inedible. Owners and managers, you folks know you are serving up a substandard product as a hotel. Line level employees were fine, trying hard to deal with conditions. I’ll look elsewhere close by when I come back next month. My advice—avoid this hotel for now. Better options abound. I hope ownership will take this review as a call to action.

Let me 1st say that the staff was as friendly as can be and breath life into the stereotype of southern hospitality!!!!! A1 grade A staffing! The complimentary lemon water at the front desk is delicious I have never had better!!! Secondly you will not get a better view of the beach! Sunrises are epic at this location! Thirdly the free breakfast was pretty good! Hot bacon and sausage, Belgian waffle maker, yogurt, toast options and fruit! Now for the bad! This building is old and old buildings need repair and updating. Only one elevator was working. There were bugs in our room! From the moment we walked in there was an infestation of flys in the room. I asked for fly paper at the front desk and I was offered a fly swatter. I went to the store and bought fly spray. I killed atleast 20 flys in the room. There was still atleast 1 still flying around the room when we checked out 2 days later. Saw one roach the 1st night but no more after. The bathroom was a bit dingy and the shower curtain pole was not installed correctly so the curtain couldn't stay closed it would sag to the middle of the pole on both sides when trying to shower. So I would say that if you just want a relatively inexpensive place to stay in Nagshead with friendly staff, a good free breakfast, and an awesome view get a waterfront room here and dont expect more than that. If you are looking for a 4 to 5 star lodging experience stay elsewhere!
