My husband and I visit the Outer Banks several weekends out of the year, all seasons. We discovered Shutters about a year ago and Love it! The price is Excellent, the rooms are clean, and the views are awesome! It is fairly quiet for a beach motel. The staff has always been helpful and friendly and the continental breakfast has... More

We just got home after spending three nights. I had been reading reviews and it was well worth it. It was our first visit to the Outer Banks and I know I will be back. The hotel was very clean. The only problem is as soon as you walk in the door the bathroom is right there and it is... More

Just got back from 4 nights at this great place. Not being seasoned Outer Banks visitors, the hotel desk staff were a great help in giving us a great list of things to do, where to eat, etc. Their suggestions were right on the mark. We were lucky to have a third floor room with a great view, worth the... More

We always go to Shutters when we visit the OBX. The staff is always polite, friendly and helpful. This visit was no exception. I had trouble finding a vacancy anywhere for this particular reason, but luckily one opened up at Shutters last minute. Our room was comfy, clean & ocean front which was awesome. You can't beat the price either.... More

My wife and I just left Shutters on the Banks yesterday where we spent the 13th through the 18th on our honeymoon. I was the one who booked the room and the reason I chose shutters was researching reviews on all the hotels in the area and comparing the details. Shutters reviews were all very good so I decided to... More

Like the last few reviews this place is a hidden hotel that most people don't know about. It's great value, location and views are amazing especially on the 4th floor of the tower. We got there early about 3pm and they checked us in right away no problems as our room was read. The staff was very friendly every time... More

This is one of the best hotels on the beach. Only steps away from the ocean! Our room was very clean. We booked a room with a kitchen and the fridge and kitchen area was spotless. Clean, updated, fresh looking hotel rooms. The staff is very helpful and friendly. No complaints. Great value...they could get away with charging more!

I agree with a prior review that I almost hate to give away my secret about this GREAT hotel! My wife, Mother, Father and myself arrived on Saturday morning well in advance of the scheduled check in time of 4pm. We were greeted at the front counter by two very nice staff members who told us we could change into... More

Clean, good prices, friendly staff. Unlike most affordable beach hotels, it isn't moldy smelling or loud. Staff are really friendly, too.
