The 33-room Oceanview Inn is a basic budget hotel close to the popular Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier. The no-frills rooms are spacious and offer mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers, but room layouts and furnishings are inconsistent and some rooms need more rigorous upkeep. The bathrooms are dated and in some instances, need a good scrubbing. Some rooms are complete with kitchenettes and small dining tables. While rates are competitive for a hotel near the water, amenities such as a restaurant, breakfast, or pool are lacking. For a chain alternative with a pool, free breakfast, and often better rates, consider the Best Western Plus Silver Creek Inn in Swansboro.
