Bluff Shoals

Although the staff was unseen, they were very helpfull. The room was small and dated and had an unusual unpleasant smell. After 20 minutes of waiting I gave up on trying to connect to the internet and the cable buffered every 45 seconds. The walls were so thin we could hear the people on either side talking.

The area by the water was lovely. The bed was comfortable. We did not like the fact that because we booked through a 3rd party (*******) we were given the smallest, darkest room. The small back window looked out at a shower and the front window was equally small. We booked a room because of the photos that were in the post but the room we were given did not reflect the bright rooms that are advertised. There was no room to sit except for 1 chair in a corner. The other person had to sit on the bed. I needed to use my computer and there was nowhere to put it and there was no chair that I could use as the one that was in the corner was very low. (We were told by the absent owner/manager, by telephone, that we would go and take a chair from another room. We did and I used the suitcase rack to place my computer on my closed suitcase in order to use it. I also asked if we could move to another room that had a table and chairs (all the others seemed to) and was told that the motel was fully booked for the weekend. I checked at night and in the morning and not all of the rooms were occupied. I even took photos of the parking lot very early on our second morning. There were 2 cars in it. Something really should be done to ensure that all guests are comfortable. I would not suggest that people book through a 3rd party is they want one of their nice rooms. If you know that 2 people will occupy a room why not spring for another chair? Really! If I were to go back to Ocracoke I would find other accommodations.
