I am very picky about where I stay so I was reluctant at first since it is an older hotel but I was pleasantly surprised! One of the nicest rooms I have stayed in and a 100% sanitation grade! Staff was very nice! We will definitely be back to stay again!

I always have an excellent experience at Swell Motel. The owner and staff are always welcoming and make you feel at home. The rooms are spacious, spotless and comfortable. The Swell Motel is within walking distance of eateries, the beach, and shopping. This year, I was able to enjoy live music on site with my friends. I took advantage of the outdoor cooking and eating area too. I look forward to going back again and recommend Swell Motel to anyone visiting Buxton (Hatteras Island).

I spent four nights at Swell Motel and was very satisfied with my visit. My room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Air Conditioner was a bit noisy, but glad to have due to warm humid weather..Nice HDTV with local Spectrum cable channels as well as free Netflix and numerous apps. Nice clean pool and comfortably warm. Very family friendly with lots of playground equipment as well as numerous tables and outdoor recreation equipment, even BBQ grills there for use. Easy walk to nearby restaurants, and just a mile from Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and campground. Looking forward to a visit there off-season. Buxton is a nice area of Cape Hatteras, an hour south of the touristy and crowded Kitty Hawk and Nags Head portion of the Outer Banks. Very friendly staff. Nice gift shop attached with cool local artworks.

Everything was very clean. Rooms were recently renovated and filled with many thoughtful touches. They have kayaks and bikes to use as well as gas grills. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Pool was large and clean with many toys for the kids. Quiet and relaxing place to stay. Highly recommended!!

I love cute, kitschy, little beach motels. I’ve been wanting to stay at Swell for ages so I decided to book a long weekend for my wedding anniversary. It was ADORABLE, and very comfortable! The room was clean, well furnished, and had everything I needed to spend a weekend laying by the ocean. They had a live band play in the parking lot over the weekend! The check in lady was very friendly as were her cute office cats. I’m glad I finally got to stay here!

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. The owner and staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and allowed for a quiet stay. We found ourselves hanging out by the pool relaxing and the live entertainment to end the night was awesome. We plan to make going here a regular thing and look forward to our next stay there. We highly recommend to anyone wanting a little time away.

Hotel itself wasn't bad, but the Interactions with staff left much to be desired. I'm glad my company paid for my stay as 3 miscellaneous charges were added to the bill including a smoking charge as my 3year mark for quitting was last week this made we even more aggravated with the situation. Would not recommend unless desperately in need of place for the night

This place is notorious for scamming people out of a $200 fee. Follow all of their rules and you will still be charged extra. The staff argues and calls anyone who complains a liar. dont book your stay here. very unpleasant staff that preys on vacationers. they profile people to try to get money out of them. it's not worth the risk. Book your stay somewhere else there are plenty of nicer hotels around the area. I hope this review helps someone.

4-night stay while visiting with friends who had a nearby beach house. Pro's - Pet friendly and the "D" block with pet rooms is furthest from road - Everything worked as expected...A/C, refrigerator, coffee pot, hot & cold water - brand new Roku TV with major streaming services - bed reasonably comfortable - close to restaurants (we did pickup one night) Con's - an old motel so walls are thin...running the A/C helped provide "white noise" to counteract - window coverings were thin and didn't do a good job of blocking outside light - water pressure in shower was weak (maybe a water saving shower head?) Overall stay was acceptable and would consider again if we bring a dog to the beach.
