Check in was easy since I purchased the hotel via expedia. The biggest problem I had with the hotel is that the pool was not in operation and no one communicated this important detail (especially since it's summer time and a pool is a great amenity). Also, the only handicap accessible rooms had one king bed only. None of the rooms with 2 beds were handicap accessible, which isn't good for multiple travelers. Also, I was told by hotel staff that a room on the 1st floor would be reserved for my stay. When I got there, I had to take a room on the 2nd floor and hotel staff acted as if they didn't tell me I would have a room on the 1st floor. I have proof of our communication in a text message as proof.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The hotel as a whole was nice. The shower in our room was really dirty & looked like it hasn't been cleaned well in a while. Maybe not dirty, but moldy. And definitely rust. And the flloor in the room inself could have been cleaner. Also, there was food from a previous guest (or staff) in the fridge.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reserve room through Expedia, the app was very user friendly. Tatcayaniyah, was at customer service and checked me in. Shyhelm Richardson checked to make sure everything was correct, he is the Assistant General Manager, both Holiday Inn employees were very helpful and professional. I will do my Google review after breakfast, but for now, I am very satisfied with this hotel. It is clean and well maintained. We walked next door and watched the new Indiana Jones movie tonight.

Room was ok and clean. Hallways were loud (lots of children running and playing). Housekeeper (Marquan?) was polite. My biggest issue was check in. My husband paid for the room and the front desk agent assumed his credit card was a prepaid card because she'd never heard of the brand. I reminded her that there are lots of credit card companies. Also, my husband paid for the room, but she still required my ID. I didnt have my driver's license and she said that they could accept any state issued picture ID. I provided my conceal carry license which has my picture, name, and address. Her response was "I'll take it this time." She obviously saw how annoyed we were with her and tried to be nice after, but the damage was already done.

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.

Reserve room through Expedia, the app was very user friendly. Tatcayaniyah, was at customer service and checked me in. Shyhelm Richardson checked to make sure everything was correct, he is the Assistant General Manager, both Holiday Inn employees were very helpful and professional. I will do my Google review after breakfast, but for now, I am very satisfied with this hotel. It is clean and well maintained. We walked next door and watched the new Indiana Jones movie tonight.

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.

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.

Dirty linen and the poorest breakfast with overcooked and burnt food. I took pictures. Someone was supposed to contact me about the linen and no one ever did. No excuse for dirty linen

I enjoyed the stay. They gave out of breakfast foods or maybe cooks / staff were just a little slower than usual getting food out but I enjoyed the 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.

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 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.
