We were passing through on our way to OBX and found this little gem of a place. It's off the beaten path but you won't be disappointed with being on the water surrounded by yachts and fishing boats docked in the marina. Many of which have seafarers living on board private vessels. Sunday brunch was exceptional where you can get fresh fixings made to order prepared before your eyes. Our room was above the restaurant and it seemed odd at first to go passed the restaurant hostess but it was also nostalgic in an old West kind of way. This would be a great 3 day getaway with enough amenities to suffice. We will keep the Smithfield Station Hotel in mind for future travels.

Our only drawback was a noisy bath fan.

My wife and I were celebrating our (first time we met) anniversary. Smithfield Station is unique and has the restaurant right under the hotel. We ate breakfast in the morning which was great. All you can eat buffet and we ate in the dining room the night before and just walked up the steps to our room. There is a park right across the street called Windsor Castle and they have trails and kayaking and a play area for kids. This hotel is located in a historic area and right on the Pagan river.

This restaurant is so popular during special days (New Years Eve) when my wife and I stayed at the hotel that finding a parking space close to the hotel was difficult so we parked across the street. Once we ate dinner then checked into the hotel we waited about two hours for a decent parking space to open up and I moved the vehicle and brought in the suitcases. Part of the hotel is located right over the restaurant which is convenient but you have to bring your luggage into the restaurant and up the steps.

Breakfast included with the stay is a real, hot breakfast with plenty of options. Much better than expected. Quality of food and service outstanding.

stepping back in time loved location walking downstairs to the restaurant , loved the breakfast

can’t say anything about that

The breakfast was adequate but should have been better organized. Guests overloading styrofoam containers were obtrusive! Bacon and eggs were excellent. We were told at the desk that breakfast ended at 9:30 (Wednesday am); however, workers started closing it at 8:50.

Coffee cups were not close to coffee pots.

on the water

This place is absolutely amazing. Great area, beautiful views, friendly staff, and the rooms are awesome.

What's not to like, this place was amazing

Location setting beautiful

unexpected flooding on morning of checkout but staff was so helpful in getting us safely on our way

The room was beautiful. The restaurant food and service were wonderful.

I was staying in the rooms above the restaurant. I was a little leery of the security coming back in late.

The breakfast was good and so was the location.

In town for business. Pricing was more than I usually pay on a business trip.
