TownePlace Suites by Marriott Outer Banks Kill Devil Hills

Large rooms with a kitchenette and access to the beach.

The breakfast variety could be better. French toast or waffles would be great.

This property was an excellent location. We took advantage of having a suite with a useful kitchennette. Very good value.

Not much- it was mostly excellent. Why cant hotels make good coffeee (small gripe)

We booked two nights Oct 7-8 using our Southwest Rapid Rewards points. After arriving in the afternoon on the 7th we were surprised that many of the Federal sites we wanted to visit were closed due to the government shutdown. Local restaurants also operating on out of season schedules. We called the front desk at 7am on Oct 8th to let them know we were checking out early creating a fee for early check out thereby causing us to forfeit our points. Several calls and emails to request leniency on the fee to be waived have gone unanswered. How about better customer service? No plan to ever stay at any Towne Place Suite.

Great location, super clean, everything you need for the perfect beach vacation.

There are absolutely things about this TownPlace Suites that I would like to see changed or that I didn't like, however I'm still giving 5 stars because of the location and the setup they have here and because I personally would go back without a second thought. First, some of the issues I have: The room layout puts one bed very close to the air conditioner and because they have the old-fashioned hotel style AC units, that leaves at least one person getting directly blasted with cold air all night. Using pool towel clips to put a towel over one side of the vent did help but reduced the efficacy of the AC and made the room warmer for everyone else. Breakfast is nice (and free) but the setup of it seems to be done as if this is a business hotel and not a beach front hotel. The cereal choices were all boring adult cereals, the bread for toast was VERY whole grain (as in it had pieces of grains in it), and the only milk they had was white milk (for example). Adding a small amount of more kid-friendly breakfast elements would go a long way. The outdoor pool is sheltered from the wind by the sand bank and gets really hot in the sun, a lightweight shade over the whole (or part of) the deck would probably be a welcomed addition by most people. As for what's great about this place: The location includes a beachfront pool + small snack shack with beach access which is directly across the road from the hotel itself. This gives the best of both worlds with beachfront access as well as having better parking and more room on the hotel property. On non-weekends the price is super affordable for a beachfront Marriott property. Not to mention the only Marriott property on the Outer Banks. It's very close to great food options, many walkable. Stuff for both adults and kids is easy to access. It's also not far to many interesting sightseeing or cultural things to see. All-in-all, I would love to see some minor changes but even with some flaws this is definitely a 5 star option.

The staff was friendly. The room was clean. Good walking distance to a lot of shops and very quick to get to the beach.

Breakfast was God Awful, how can anyone make scrambled eggs taste like that,?? It clearly isn't justscrambled eggs, what are you mixing in it? and the rest of the cooked food was equally bad.
