“The Scarborough Inn in Manteo strikes a balance, offering a clean, comfortable stay with genuinely attentive service from Dill, who truly goes the extra mile for guests. Its location proves convenient for exploring the area, and while some furnishings lean vintage, the quality of the patio seating and the surprisingly good showers add to its solid value.”
