My husband and I enjoyed an extended stay at Blackbeard's Lodge in September due to the King Tides which washed out rt. 12. We were due to stay only 2 nights, but had to extend our trip an additional 2 due to the high tides washing out the roads. The manager Sherry was so accommodating and understanding of the circumstances as we checked in every morning to see if things had opened up. She pointed us to helpful social media sites and gave us phone numbers to call to check on the ferry. As stated in some of the other posts, the rooms are dated and could use some work, but we came to find out the hotel had just opened up the first week of September due to the devastation of Dorian the year before. Yes, the game room is empty, but since that room was under water last year (and, you know, covid), we were not surprised. We found our room to be clean. Yes, there was no maid service due to Covid restrictions, but that was explained to us on check in. Extra towels would be delivered upon request. Since we had to extend our stay, we had to change rooms during our visit, but Sherry hooked us up with a room in the newer, refurbished area of the hotel and it was very nice. The location was perfect and we would definitely stay here again. Good luck to the owners and staff as they continue to get on their feet after Dorian. My only suggestion would be to share some of the challenges/changes/needed upgrades since Dorian so guests know what to expect when they arrive. The pictures on the website are obviously pre-Dorian and things do look different. Pics of the hotel after the hurricane may help guests to see how difficult the rebuilt is and they may be more understanding.
