“Decent Road Trip Stop”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Our stay at this hotel was decent for an off-the-interstate hotel. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was clean for the most part. While this is not an upscale and fancy hotel by any means, you definitely get your money's worth with a good size room, clean sheets and a nice hot breakfast. For people traveling on interstate 64, this is a good place to stop for the night.

“Dirty, needs updated, and no wake up call.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

We stopped at this hotel on our way further south. We found the hotel to be very small and out dated compared to most holiday inn express hotels. The pool area was filthy! There were someone's fake fingernails laying all over the pool area and the pool looked as if it were't cleaned in weeks. We requested a wake up call and never got it. The breakfast was the same as most holiday inn express hotels... Basic. The rooms smelled musty and were just ok. We found the breakfast worker to be alot more friendly than the front desk worker. Not horrible but would not stay here again.

I am sincerely sorry that your stay was not as it should have been. We do greatly appreciate the time you took to verbalize the inconveniences that you experienced.

Just a few weeks prior to your arrival at our property, we sustained wind damage to the roof above the swimming pool. Because of this damage, we were experiencing some leaking during the weeks that it rained and this not only created increased damage to our roof, but also staining of our tiles. We assure you that we have been working diligintly with our insurance company in correcting these issues and hope to have a new roof and new tiles with in the next few months. These things take a little more time than we would like and we want to insure to our guests that we have been working effortlessly on correcting this issue so as to reduce any inconveniences that may occur.

Our Housekeeping Staff is one of the best in the industry; however, as a small hotel, they are not 24 hours and thus, when the pool area gets heavily used during the evening, it does not get cleaned until the housekeepers arrive around 8:30 am the following morning. Usually the Housekeeping Staff will clean the pool first thing in the mornings when they arrive for the early swimmers who wish to swim at 9 am when the pool re-opens for the day, and then they will clean it again before they leave around 4 p.m. We heartly apologize about the fake nails laying on the floor of the pool, and we assure you that we take the best care we can in keeping our pool clean and safe for all of our guests.

Our Front Desk Staff are very sorry about your wake-up call not going through. Wake-up calls are taken very seriously because it can mean the difference between someone making it to an important meeting on time or not. Our staff takes great care in using checks and balances to double check that our wake-up calls have been placed properly and have went through. Many times, we see that the Staff can sometimes forget to place a wake-up call, but this comes with human error and we will do our best to make sure this never happens again.

As always, we truly do appreciate your comments, and are taking them very seriously. We want to express great thanks to you for taking the time to comment about our property. We hope that you do stop in again the next time you pass our way so that we can prove that we have improved ourselves to exceed your expectations. We strive to treat every guest as family. We hope you have a great day, and thank again for your honest post! We thank YOU!

“Surprisingly nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

I hadn't been to any HI property in about 30 years, so seeing as how hotel options in Morehead were limited, my expectations here were very low. However, I was really surprised by the hotel. The room was really big - if you put a small partial wall between the bed and couch, many hotels (like Hyatt Place) would have called it a suite. The bathroom was nice, and the kitchenette was good as well. A couple of weeks after this visit I stayed at a full-fledged Holiday Inn near Cleveland that was an absolute pit, so my love for this brand is still on the fence. However, if going to Morehead, this is a really nice hotel with a great location near the interstate, limited dining and necessity shopping (think Wal Mart). The campus is just a few minutes away as well, so if going to visit Morehead State this is a great place to stay.

“Wonderful hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I was visiting my daughter in Morehead one more time before she leaves to go to Graduate School. I love this little town and enjoying walking to the different shops. We had a great lunch at the Fuzzy Duck and a wonderful dinner at the Buffulo Wild Wings. We topped it off to a movie at there new theater. It has stadium seating and reminds me of being in a tinsletown.

My daughter and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. It was a very nice hotel, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and our room was very clean. They had a continential breakfast with all sorts of goodies. We fell in love with the pancake machine and they were so good that I had to fix two more. If your a guy you would have loved the eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. Everything tasted so good.
I would recommend this hotel and I plan to go back.

Room Tip: No tip needed, the whole place was nice.

“Clean, comfortable, and free breakfast - highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Holiday Inn Express in Morehead was excellent. I needed a hotel room for one night while visiting Morehead State University and I don't think I could have picked a better place to stay! The beds are super comfy, the bathroom was nice, the room was clean and stylish, there was free coffee in the room and a mini fridge, and best of all - FREE breakfast in the morning with a wide selection of hot breakfast items as well as fruit and cereal! There is also a nice indoor pool to swim in, but you might want to bring your own beach towel as the pool towels are a bit small. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would stay there again.
