Comfort Inn South Oceanfront
Yes the room was clean. I give special thanks to Pam Spruill to saw me looking for help in the hall way. I had a large spill of coffee. I wiped the area however needed a serious cleaning. She was so kind. Cleaned the area and there was no evidence of it.

Stella Maris | Oceanfront | Private Pool, Hot Tub | Nags Head
Nice house and cleaning and maintenance issues were quickly rectified after I went through the issues with the rental agency. The house would be next level if a deep cleaning and maintenance for a lot of issues that have deteriorated were fixed.
