The facility was great the management was terrible. They overbooked double rooms and expected more than 2 travelers to share one king bed. Night staff allowed us to extend our stay and management cancelled our booking and made us rebook with the hotel at a higher rate after talking trash about the nice night person. She was a terrible manager with terrible customer service.

My only complaint was the luggage carts that they provide. They are useless! They are extremely small and when I loaded it and started to bring it to the front door, the few things on it fell off! The luggage carts need to be larger like the ones they provide at other hotel chains. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfy.

I booked a standard room with a king sized bed for my wife and myself. At the last minute our daughter came with us. I asked the hotel attendant during check-in if he could change my room to a room with two queen beds instead. He indeed changed our room to a double queen room and even let us check-in early.

Hotel was clean but a little dated. Biggest issue was front desk clerk. Went to request an extra towel for my wife to dry her hair, only 2 towels for 2 guests, and was treated with a rude attitude. Wanted me to turn in my used towels for exchange. This I understand in some locations, but this was supposedly a “nicer” place of business. Reported employee to management the next morning and they just shrugged it off with no offer of apology or any mention of taking it up with the night staff

I enjoyed my stay, clean & quiet… the breakfast was a little disappointing…. There was no orange juice the entire week I stayed for seven days and they didn’t have the cinnamon buns every day…. That is one of the main reasons. I choose Holiday Inn for their breakfast. Other than that I enjoyed my stay….

The room had lots of lady bugs, the tile floor entrance to our room was sticky the day we got there and was never cleaned, the toilet paper holder was broken it was leaning sideways and the ice machine on the 1st floor on the 2nd day was broken. We were supposed to stay 3 nights but checked out after 2. The staff were nice, the breakfast was average. They were out of yogurt and no pancakes.

Good brand, but falls short in a small town

Staff were very polite and welcoming, but we just could NOT get maid service in our room. Our stay was for a week, and we needed a mid week spruce up in our room. We removed our do not disturb sign, and literally asked the cleaning crew for service in our room. We came back to trash bags in our cans and that was it. I stand by this brand for many of my stays, but it seems staff training standards are not consistent through the nation.

Bed was very comfortable. Water for showering was warm at best but it would get hot at the sink which leaked at the base of the fixture. Other than that it was great. Had a great night sleep. Breakfast was good except the juice machine had nothing but watered down apple juice. I would stay again in the future.

The rooms were decent, clean. Staff was very nice. The only 2 complaints we had was (1) Didn’t have enough hot water for showers. (2) Kids from the softball teams staying at hotel running up and down the halls on all levels at night and in the mornings. We did call the staffs attention to this. Their parents didn’t seem to control their behavior.

This Holiday Inn Express is clean and well-kept, evidenced from the moment I stepped inside. I was disappointed that the fitness area was being repaired, possibly from a ceiling leak. The pool area was adequate for a small number of people, but needed cleaning. Suggestion: Enclose the pool for indoor swimming. Otherwise, quick, personable check-in cinched my pleasant experience at this facility!

I liked that it was very easy to get to from highway 70 in Kinston. I also enjoyed the staff. They were very friendly, courteous and professional. The hotel was well maintain. The breakfast was okay, but I think it could have been better. The food was not as hot as I would have liked. And when you enter the area, there is some grass that need cutting. Also some construction right in front. Those take away from the appearance of the hotel. But I suppose that is beyond their control. Overall I think it's a nice place to stay.

Needs major renovation and cleaning!

The shower was not clean, the floors were dirty. The night stands look like they had not been dusted in months. The charging station did not work on the left side of the bed. I went down for breakfast to get bacon and it was terrible. I received 3 wake up calls the 2days I was there and did not ask for them. I will probably not stay at the hotel again when I’m in town.

There was reno or repair in the room next to me with drilling and hammering and loud talking srting at 9 in the morning. When i got back from funeral services on a very hot day I was told there was no ice ine whole hotel and the fridge was barely cool, they gave me 2 sodas for free which became cool not cold borderline warm after sitting in the fridge. Mostly all Saturday morning there was constant traffic going in and out the stairway doors so no insulation from that noise or the staff that hung out in the hallway. The juice machine didn't work and the door was held closed by a strip of tape., the pancake machine didn't work.

Not a bad hotel, but it's obviously in need of a thorough cleaning and updated decor. The staff is pleasant and are doing their best to make your stay enjoyable. Company need to invest in upkeep of the property. It's obviously decaying due to consistent maximized occupancy.

This property was located in a good area for my visit with my family. But, we watched the morning breakfast team sit and play on their phones for 45 minutes when we needed the bar restocked and the front desk, other than sapphire, was pretty rigid and uncaring. There was mold in my shower.

Don’t stay here

I was disappointed with this stay. When we checked in, the staff member seemed to be annoyed that we were there and was very rude. Our room itself seemed rather dirty with a broken window shade, flashing bright lights from the AC unit, and everything just seemed really dated. The hotel was also extremely noisy all night and you could not enter or exit without walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke. I would not recommend this property.

I was at the front desk, no personnel in sight, leaned by the counter and said \"hello, can i get some help\" waited for 2 minutes and the female made a hand gesture of get away, shoo away, back up before she spoke with me. Well i wouldn't have had to do that if personnel was at counter. Spoke with Front Desk emlployee, asked for an extra towel. I was provided with 2 towels in our king room. Front desk personnel told me to bring my dirty towels to her and she would give me 2 towels. Still doesn't provide me with an extra towel. She told me that i could not get an extra towel because the hotel needed the towels for other guests. Also asked for a fan and she said we don't have those. I told her thank you and have a hood day. So on my return to the room, asked the housekeeper for an extra towel. Housekeeper was so kind to give me an extra towel, no problems no issues. This incident took place on June 3, 2025 between 8am-1030am. Thanks for your time!

Poorly trained staff. My first key didn't work. My second key opened the room but the room was being remodeled. The 3rd key to a new room opened the door fine, but I learned the next morning it opened all the guests doors to the entire hotel. Had to find this out the hard way when I went into someone else's bathroom before realizing it wasn't my room..... oh yeah, TV didn't work and found a cockroach. Besides all that the bed was really really comfortable and I slept good.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at! Only complaint is no one being at the front desk like ever unless you scream out hello or call while your at the front desk so someone can hear a phone ringing other than that amazing location, very clean, cold ac, black out curtains, great breakfast honestly all around a great stay! I will def be booking again :)

The hotel was very tidy and safe feeling. The rooms were also very clean and surprisingly spacious. The front desk service was immediate for any request I had. Was very surprised about the complementary breakfast and its wide selection. I’ll certainly be recommending this hotel to there’s looking to just get away!

M room hadn’t been checked by the cleaning crew and two ladies came into my room unannounced. It obviously started me but they were very apologetic. The room was definitely not cleaned properly as I had to clean or myself. The night stand was full of open sugar, the floors had not been vacuumed or mopped. Very disappointed.

Overbooked hotel

My room for 2 beds was booked a week in advance. When I checked in they only had a room with a king bed.
The room was right beside us must have been a utility room. For 2 nights we listened to a very loud compressor kick on and off. It was every 60 sec. Worst hotel stay I’ve ever had.
