6/10 Good

The property location is in a nice quiet area, close to the town of Duck. There’s a lot of restaurants and shops in the town which is convenient. The resort itself is ok. The lobby is nice and well kept. The staff were all very friendly. The room and building we stayed in was clean on the surface but it was evident that deep cleaning has not been done on a regular basis. The room and especially the closet had a very musty smell. There were marks from dead bugs on the walls of the room, the carpet in the room and hallway/stairs had a lot of stains. The screen of the door to the balcony in our room was in bad shape with several holes (hence the dead bug marks). It was surprising that there was no microwave in the room. We were also disappointed to find out when we arrived that one of the restaurants on property was closed for the season. The restaurants that were open were fine but way overpriced for the quality of the food. It would be nice to have some grab and go options on property to take items to the beach, snacks/sandwiches, We ended up going into Duck and to pick up some items at the market instead of the mediocre, pricey food at the restaurant. The pool and hot tub were nice, and it was great to have chairs/umbrellas available for the beach. Overall, it was fine but for the cost of the room per night it was disappointing and not worth the price we paid. We have stayed at other places that were less expensive and cleaner. Based on that we probably won’t stay again.

Our long weekend stay was perfect. I imagine it’s a little noisy in the summer (we could hear the people in the next room as well as people in the hall), but the beds were comfortable (lots of pillow choices!), the private deck perfect, the bathroom fantastic, and the public areas wonderfully well appointed!

2/10 Poor

The room rates are highway robbery for the quality of the rooms. They have clearly not been maintained. The rooms are old, dated, stains on carpet, stains on furniture, furniture falling apart, nasty dirt and dust that looks like it’s been there for decades. There was an awful smell in the hallway. There was a large bug crawling on the wall in my room (NOT the small, mosquito-like bugs they mentioned on a sign in the room). There was hair in my bed. This hotel is advertised as AAA four diamond, but there is no possible way that is true. I paid an exorbitant amount of money for this nasty room for two nights and left a night early because the room was so nasty. Also, the grab and go breakfast options at the hotel are limited to small boxes of cereal, muffins, and egg sandwiches that have been sitting out and will be heated up by a hotel employee, and you have to pay for those. The beach chairs/pools chairs are worn out and gross to sit on. The food from the pool bar was not good. Finally, to add insult to injury, when I checked out a night early I was told I could not receive an invoice because I was checking out early. A few days later after I got home, I checked my credit card statement and saw a large charge. I called the hotel the person I spoke with said that I was charged an additional $40 per night “resort fee” since I had booked through Expedia. Buyer beware. This place is not what is advertised in terms of the room, amenities, and fees. Not customer centric.

I have stayed numerous times prior to this visit. It is sad to see the condition of the property - peeling paint, worn carpets, very worn furniture. No bell staff out front to help 2 ladies with luggage up steps. No staff available to assist with umbrellas and chairs on beach and not enough umbrellas for number of guests on the beach. In summary, this property is in serious need of renovation. We love coming here and look forward to future improvements, (hopefully).

Wonderful and Chic OBX Hotel
I am blown away by the sanderling. What a beautiful resort. I understand it needs some updates and will undergo a renovation in November, but this hotel is absolutely wonderful. Beachfront with many dining options and remains chic and timeless. We will be coming every year now.

8/10 Very Good

We like the location of this property. Overpriced rooms for the condition and amenities of property. Food in the restaurant is good quality (breakfast and dinner). Service was slow, we were told this is because it was close to end of season (mid-August) and that the servers were tired. No beach service, chairs and umbrellas are out for you to place. Each day the waves washed up onto the shore during high tide and washed into umbrellas and chairs. When the wind picked up it blew umbrellas over and along the beach. Think it would be safe if there was a beach attendant to keep an eye on these things. Towels at the resort (family) pool ran out daily. Overall, we would stay again because of location and that this is the only hotel to choose from for the area.

I stayed at the sanderling for the first time in 2017 and had a wonderful stay, however my recent stay found the hotel in a state of disrepair with unhappy employees. The property has not been maintained to its former standards. The walls are heavily marked with wear and tear, and the carpets are stained and way overdue for replacement. The walls of our room were spotted with various spills and suitcase scuffs. I stepped on an open safety pin and noticed used tissues under the bed. It was also clear the hallways and rooms had not been vacuumed in some time. Yes, the location is beautiful, but there is nothing luxury about this property. This once-grand resort now feels more like a neglected afterthought. It’s disappointing to see a place with so much potential fall so far from its former glory. At checkout I voiced my concerns to management only to receive lip service from about a renovation beginning in November, however, the hotel is not in any condition to accept reservations and host guests, especially at the price point they are charging. Ultimately the manager waived the resort fee - which I expected since we had to carry our own beach chairs and umbrellas out to the beach and there were rarely beach/pool towels available. Finally, we booked a king room through hotels.com but were given a room with two queen beds. The manager informed me that the property could not guarantee room types booked via third party, which I have never heard of before.
