Hampton Inn & Suites Outer Banks Family Dining

If there is one shortcoming of this hotel, it's the lack of an onsite restaurant. They make up for this, or at least they attempt to, by providing a complimentary all-you-can-eat breakfast, with cereals, pastries, a rotating menu of hot items, yogurt, juice, coffee and tea.

You can also stock on up snacks and drinks at the local Harris Teeter. There is also a nicely stocked 24-hour convenience store in the hotel called the Suite Shop.

For meals off the property, there is a diner next door that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. A 10-minute drive down the coast in the towns of Duck or Kill Devil Hills presents several options for family-friendly dining. The suites have microwaves and refrigerators, but no cooking equipment or utensils.
