I need a "no bone" review option!

We wanted to make a quick overnight at the beach and had to find somewhere we could take our Westies. The Outer Banks is historically a difficult place to find pet-friendly hotes, and unfortunately, "pet-friendly" usually means "filthy and substandard in general." This hotel is the epitome of that. Check-in took forever, I thought they were going to ask for fingerprints! and while the one of the clerks was pleasant, the other was officious and seemed to be the "boss." The bill for two nights--we had thought to stay another--was over $300, although the nights together were less than $100 a night. Pet fees and other fees evidently brought it up so high, and the "nice" clerk offered to waive the $50 per pet fees. We stood there and discussed the dogs, both of them, but when the "officious" clerk saw my husband later walking them, she said "Oh, I didn't know you had two dogs," as if she regretted not being able to charge for both.

Now to the room: Filthy. Depressing. Nowhere to sit. No desk chair so we could use our laptop. Hideous curtains. MISERABLE beds. The carpeting was shredded along the edge, as if some bored dog had been chewing at it. The tub was nasty and took forever to drain. When is the last time this place was renovated? It's been there a long time, with no changes. Ah, but we were on the "dog floor." Why should they bother? This place is an insult to pet owners everywhere, if not to human beings in general. The ocean view is not worth it, and for me, that is saying a great deal. We checked out the following morning and took ourselves elsewhere. Ick.
