My stay at the John Yancey was wonderful. The rooms are super clean and up to date. The staff is always friendly and the customer service is excellent. I asked to extend my stay by one day and they gladly extended it and kept me in the same room. I do not have enough accolades to give to the John Yancey and the staff.

Great location

We were in town for a disc golf tournament and we stay here twice a year. We love the location since there is a brewery 1 block away and the Kill Devil Grill right across the street

Two stars because the staff was friendly but the pictures on the listing were not of the motel that we stayed in, there’s two different parts of the property, the nice building in all of the pictures and then the crap, run down motel next to it that you do not see at all in the pictures. Be careful when booking a room everyone!

Clean room, breakfast always hit the spot. Hotel allowed us to park our car in their lot prior to our check in time because we were early and even called us to let us know when the room was ready. Awesome accommodations!
