New and clean. Area felt safe. A Cracker Barrel a one minute walk away. Easy parking. This Holiday Inn Express had a very good breakfast with lots of choices and the woman who ran the breakfast bar kept it stocked and very clean. Very nice stay.

The rooms were clean in the beds were comfortable. It was a close drive to The airshow at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro as well as to visit friends in Raleigh. The breakfast was tasty and hot and included eggs bacon sausage as well as pancakes. One drawback was that the pool had not been opened (May 3rd). One outstanding thing is that the sun blocking shades on the window made the room 100% dark. We had a great night sleep both nights we stayed there.

Overall great stay. Cleanliness is a big deal for me, and I was happy with that aspect. The USB in my room (201) didn’t work, and the incline and TV on the treadmill didn’t work. Other than that, fantastic stay.

Check in was super easy and staff was very friendly. Very thankful for that after a long stormy trip getting there and missing the exit due to construction and going an extra 12 mins out of the way to get back there. The lobby/dining area very clean. Tables and chairs in great shape. Elevator was nice and clean. The halls are clean and smell of cleaner. My room was really clean too. Sheets, towels, tub, sink, toilet all white and clean. I was very impressed with this hotel!! Kudos to the staff here!!

The room was very clean, which was the main thing I wanted! In fact, all the hotel appeared clean, even the stairways. The breakfast room had a 100% health dept rating. It had been updated. While one of the 2 beds was firmer than the other, they were reasonably comfortable.

Everything about this hotel was great, except the other guests. Check-in was a breeze, staff were friendly, the hotel was clean inside and out, the room was well laid out, the bed was comfy, and the included breakfast had great options! The only problem we experienced were other guests on our floor yelling, slamming doors, and running up and down the hallway from 2-4am. That made it difficult to sleep, but obviously that’s not the hotel’s fault.

The hotel was nice enough. The included breakfast was amazing! The bed was very comfortable with nice bedding. Parking was ample. On the down side, there were scattered guidance to Mask Up and Social Distance, as if the hotel didn’t get the memo that 2021 is over. Thankfully, the staff didn’t take the guidance seriously as the only person wearing a mask was wearing it over her Adam’s Apple. The only other issue was the A/C, which functioned erratically and the little fridge in the room that barely worked. Overall, the hotel is pretty good.

Nice clean hotel. Do hear some road traffic noise a little. Breakfast had a good selection. Beds were comfortable and I like the adjustable shades instead of current. Having Dove liquid soap instead of bar soap was nice little touch.could use more tv channel selections. But over all very nice hotel.

I had MAJOR WIFI ISSUES every day for the entire stay. The staff at the desk were friendly and always called tech support for me to have the access point reset, but for the last few days tech support WOULDN'T EVEN CALL ME after the front desk asked them to (tech support claimed the problem was just my computer), so I ended up switching hotels--the price of the hotel was steep to begin with, and there was no way I was paying for it without even getting internet. I never had a problem with wifi at the other hotel after switching (or any other hotel I've ever stayed at), so clearly the problem was NOT my computer; they obviously need to replace some of their access points in this hotel, but aren’t willing to. Cleaning service is only available once per week, and you have to request to be put on the list. As I said, the front desk staff were always friendly, so that was a plus.

I was very frustrated about getting to the room and not having any instructions on how to operate the television. Could not get desk to get instructions so did without until I went to greet friends who had arrived. No book on welcome and restaurants around or attractions. Not a welcoming feeling. Desk clerk was friendly.

The room, lobby, dining area, we’re all great!! Our problem is with the 800# customer service. The people answering calls, no matter when you call, they WILL NOT HELP YOU, and theyHANG UP THE PHONE ON YOU MID SENTENCE. It is so FRUSTRATING !!!! I could NEVER imagine treating customers that way. You can’t get a hold of the front desk of the hotel you are trying to book with. You think you are talking to them, until they keep hanging up on you. My niece works for your company, and even she as an employee gets hung up on from the 800# staff. You need to check into this,because I’m telling you, IT IS JUST WRONG!!!

Great overall experience. I accidently left an item in the room and didn't realize it until the next day. It was a pillow, so something that may not have been immediately obvious to the housekeeping staff. I called the next day and the on site manager quickly and kindly checked and did find it. They sent it to me and it arrived a few days later, and only charged me for the actual cost of the shipping. I was/ am very pleased and impressed with the staff.

This hotel was very hard to find at night because the Holiday Inn sign was obscured. The local roadwork presented a problem when we passed the hotel and had to detour about 5 miles to loop back. The best thing about the property is the access to gas and the Cracker Barrel right in front of the hotel.

The room was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. It was nice to have the Dove brand products in the shower. The breakfast was good with eggs, sausage, toast, cereals, oatmeal, grits, juice, coffee and fruit. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Surprisingly, even though being by the interstate, the room was very quiet. The only improvement I would suggest is a little more variety for coffee. Maybe one other brand option other than Green Mountain which is bitter. Overall, our stay was very good and we would stay here again.
