My wife and I needed a weekend beach getaway and so we booked a 2 night stay at the Tower Circle OBX motel because reviews said the location was walking distance to the beach. We were not disappointed! The Tower Circle OBX was a wonderful place to stay! The location is a quick 5 minute walk from the beach, parking is right on the premises and the location is also walking distance from restaurants and shops. The room was perfect for two and it appeared it had been recently renovated, so the bathroom and room furnishing were very nice. While the physical furnishings of the room were wonderful I must give a shout- out to the great service we experienced by the owners of the motel. My wife forgot her hairdryer and the motel did not have one, but we texted the hotel owner and within 10 minutes someone was at the door delivering a hairdryer to our room! This was exceptional service and it was so greatly appreciated!!! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the Tower Circle - nothing fancy, but practical, friendly and great location. Will definitely plan on returning.

Other than the terrible mattress it was a great place. The mattress forced us to the middle of the bed. It was encased in a plastic cover and the sheet kept slipping off. Since the main purpose of a motel room is to sleep - this was a challenge. I think the owners have remodeled recently - hopefully they will replace the mattress soon.

Buxton Hotel Room
This classic but newly renovated beach hotel was a very good stay for 3 of us(couple with grand). Close walk to beach, extra large room, clean. Any messages to owners were quickly answered. We loved this area of OBX….not so busy as the Nags Head area. Bed linens are soooo comfy😀

Sports trip
Hotel had a good location for what we need it. Pool only 2 people can fit in, service by the pool was only really for the young people I waited about an hour for the bartender to come and acknowledge and my kids (not a family friendly hotel) ask for extra pillow never got it the first day that I went to get towels for the pool they didn’t have enough. Parking terrible and sooooo small one night had to park at handicap space since all spaces had been taken. Customer service was good but all for the price not worth it.

Pictures did not represent the true condition of the property. Run down motel. Shows age. Got the impression that at least one of the occupants was a full time resident.

Tower Circle OBX Buxton
Tower Circle OBX was convenient for us, close to where family was staying, to places to eat and easy access to the beach. It was bare-bones, but that is not a bad thing. We found the bed comfortable although the pillows were a bit skimpy. The shower and towels were great although it took awhile for hot water to reach the sink. Our coffee pot was not clean but I was fine with washing it. The chairs at the table were terribly uncomfortable as there was absolutely no padding on them. I would suggest some room darkening curtains over the windows as the shades left a gap for folks to peer in and the safety lights that are left on at night lit the room up like daylight. All in all, I would recommend the hotel to anyone staying a few nights.

The room was very clean, in the accommodations were very good. However, the air conditioning window unit was not strong enough to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. It wasn’t exactly hot in the room, but we couldn’t get the temperature to be low enough to be comfortable while sleeping. Also, the cable connection to the TV didn’t seem to be working.
