海洋牧場度假村(The Sea Ranch Resort)

My visit was average. Front desk person (AA male evening shift) was very pleasant. My room was okay however my sister's room was unpleasantly odorous with an unexpected portable humidifier in the room. We enjoyed our breakfast in the hotel restaurant and the waitress was very nice. The wedding food was just okay. The hotel needs to definitely upgrade overall.

When you throw the word "resort" on a property it comes with certain expectations. This location is severely lacking. We had to bag up dirty towels and wash cloths and take them to the front desk to exchange for fresh towels, etc..No cleaning service during our stay. No room service of any sort. ONE ice machine for the entire "resort" located well away from the ocean front "premium" rooms and suites. Bed linens and pillows, while adequate, were just standard MOTEL fare. Overall Bang for the Buck is not there.

The bed may as well have been made of straw. The pillows were little square clumps of crap. After finally falling asleep in the awful bed my husband woke up to being stung/bit by some sort of bug. His head swelled rapidly where he was bit. We left at 1130 at night and headed to the ER. After being treated for a severe reaction to an unknown critter bite, we ended up booking a room at holiday inn and sleeping there. Dont go to the sea ranch resort.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was being renovated when we were there. Would have liked to being able to eat without going out.

Pros - Next to the beach - Low cost - Breakfast spot is great - Close to main OBX spots - Clean beds and pillows Cons - Thin walls - Certain things in the room aren't too clean (Phone, Bathroom)

Property was undergoing renovations. At check in was told that all guests with reservations had been called to inform about renovations in case they wanted to cancel. I checked my phone but had not received a call or voice mail from the property. Had booked 2 oceanfront rooms for 2 nights for us and another couple to attend wedding at property. Second day, the heat was not working so I reported it at 1:30 when we went down for wedding. Returned to room that evening to find that it had not been checked. That night we had no heat (temp in the 30's), were moved to another room which had no heat either. Were then transferred to a basic room which had heat. The other couple travelling with us had no heat in their room either. Refund was given by ******* for both rooms, but not sure if it was fair because there was no explanation as to how it was calculated. Otherwise property was older but clean, in a good location. Staff seemed overworked. Perhaps our experience would have been different if renovations were not ongoing.

It was a 6 star then it came to check in and check out time where lost one star each. So it’s a four overall.

We pre-booked and paid in advance. The desk clerk was almost rude. The room was nice, oceanfront! The bed was hard for us. The room was very clean and roomy. Everything worked with a great heat system. I was at OBX for a surgical procedure so wanted a room with room service for breakfast before our trip home. No room service, short staffed. We went to the Bistro, and it was great. We had a very nice and friendly waitress and great food.

It was so nice to sleep heading the ocean, we had a king ocean-side room with balcony on the 5th floor - it was great!
