Beacon Motor Lodge Inc

I am writing about the negative review dated July 5 , 2009.\r We have owned the Beacon since 1969 and have 4 generations of families that stay with us every year. July 4th weekend is our biggest time of year. We throw a complimentary barbeque every year for our guests. We have at least a 2 day mostly 3 day minimum stay on this big weekend. We had a cancellation on Saturday. This guest was told there was a 2 night minimium stay before he signed up for the room. We had turned many many people looking for rooms. Due to high demand, we do not issue refunds on holiday weekends. I also want to add that this guest verbally threatened me. We are AAA approved and our Health rating is A. Many of our rooms are already booked for next July 4th. If anyone reading this has any questions or concerns about the Beacon before making a reservation. please feel free to call me direct @ 252-441-5501. I am sorry this guest did not agree with our policies, but we have had the same policies since we have been in business. more

This was the worst experience of my entire life. I feel I was robbed by bandits. Came down for 4th of July weekend, grabbed 2 nights for what I could not believe $150.00 per night for a hole in a cinder block wall piece of smelly, moldy hell with no refrigerator, no view of the beach, and an unsecured parking space where our car was no more than 3 inches away from the other cars beside us. Had an emergency back home in Richmond and they would not refund any money at all for the second night that we could not spend. They said they never rent rooms for just one night which is obviously a blatant lie. We were only there for 4 hours and they charged us $335.00. I will never go to this motel again for as long as I live, not even if it was the only hotel in the entire outer banks with a vacancy. I would turn my but around and go straight back to Richmond, Virginia rather than give these thieves a cent more of my cash. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! TRULLY A NIGHTMARE!!! BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!
