"My wife and I recently visited the Inlet Inn. The waterfront location is perfect, within very short walking distance to ferry boat rides, nice restaurants, shopping and historic homes and churches. The staff at the Inlet Inn was extremely friendly and helpful; check-in/out was a breeze. Our rooms (due to our late booking we had to change rooms) spectacular! Both rooms were very spacious. The first had a large balcony overlooking the water. The second had a large bay window overlooking the water with a reading nook. As far as the amenities, you won’t find the usual chain hotel perks (workout facility, pool, restaurant/bar) but we really enjoyed the Inlet Inns amenities. Continental breakfast delivered to our room each morning. Free self parking onsite- a really great benefit in this parking challenged town. A gorgeous courtyard with native plantings. And they have a spacious lounge overlooking the water. As far as attractions, we really enjoyed the ferry boat ride to Shackleford Banks island to see the wild horses and on the way back the Captain spotted a pod of dolphins feeding. At one point they were only 20 yards away! And don’t miss the Saturday morning Farmers Market (also walking distance from the hotel). One of the best we’ve been to. We highly recommend the Inlet Inn!"
