This was a perfect place for my family that included 2 children ages 11 and 14. Very close walk to the beach and central with short drives to Corolla, Duck, and Nags Head. Overall the staff at the HIX were very nice..whether it was the front desk, room cleaning, and breakfast..always a smile and a greeting. Breakfast was included and... More

This hotel appeared to be a little older than other HIX's we stayed in during our week-long vacation (various locations other than this one). The thing that makes this HIX a good choice is it's location--about 100 yards from the beach! Easy drive to Wright Brothers Museum, as well as Corolla (North) and Hatteras/Ocracoke (south). Helpful/courteous staff. We had originally... More

My husband called the hotel directly to make the reservation to be certain the person he spoke to had direct knowledge of what was available. He was told the only room available was handicap accessible (we did not require that) and non-smoking (we do require that). When we arrived, we were given a smoking room on the second floor that...

Hotel was good - not great. It is a pretty old beach hotel - is very beachy. You sense that lots of sandy feet have trekked through the hotel over the years. But you can walk to the beach and are close to all the fun sites to see. Quick drive to the Kitty Hawk monument which is interesting and... More

We stayed at this hotel for a week last year and scheduled our trip this year to stay again. The service is incredible, staff is very friendly, rooms are impeccably clean, breakfast is amazing, and the hotel is so convenient to everything. Our mistake this year was not reserving a room after Thursday night, so we had to move out... More

Checked in at the last minute after checking out of a roach hotel close-by. The staff was very friendly, accomodating, and helpful. Good rate (especially Government rate) for being a beach hotel. EXCELLENT free hot breakfast in the morning. Within 75 yards walking distance out of the back of the hotel to the beach. Rooms were especially clean (cleaner than... More

We stayed here just one night before checking into a weekly house rental farther up the beach. The other reviews kind of scared me but we found what we expected here. First of all, it’s a Holiday Inn Express at the beach, not the Ritz Carlton. It’s fairly priced considering it’s in a beach community – some of the other... More

This hotel is old, tired, dirty, gross. Plus, they booked us in a smoking room. When we requested a nonsmoking room upon arrival they would not accommodate us even though they could have. We felt like we were sleeping in an ashtray. The staff was not helpful at all!! The manager is very rigid and not customer service focused. The... More

Reserved this room early and prepaid so check in would be easy. Had to wait quite awhile to get checked in and front desk associate wasn't very helpful. Needed to check in quickly to get changed to go to a wedding. Ended up having to change clothes in the lobby bathroom and rush to the wedding. The hallways to the... More
