“Never stop here.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

I drove to Kitty Hawk Dec. 8 at the last minute. We arrived at Holiday Inn Express at 2 am, very tired and desperate for sleep. We were grunted a greeting by the clerk, who had the telephone in her ear. We waited for her to acknowledge us, she wouldn't. We finally told her we needed a room. She snapped at us that her computer was down and that she had been on the phone over an hour trying to fix it. We asked for a room and were told to go down the street. She said we could not get a room, even tho we said we had cash. She could ring it up when the computer was fixed. She said sorry, no can do. As we left we said that we doubted management would be happy with that and she laughed in our face. I will never walk in a Holiday Inn Express again. We went down the road and found another place who's computer was down but they found a way to register us...the old timey way with pen and paper.

“Good enough for our half marathon weekend.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011 via mobile

We stayed here for the OBX half Marathon. It was nice enough for our stay. The front desk clerks were very friendly and gave all of the runners a gift pack for the race. The rooms were a bit dated but clean.

“Good Location Walk to the Beach In Need of an Update”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

The hotel is located in a quieter area of Kitty Hawk so the traffic is not too bad during the summer. The beach is about a five minute walk from the hotel but you need to cross Virginia Dare Trail.

The rooms are OK but in need of an update. The beds, furniture and flooring are all worn and should be replaced. The TV is an old tube TV which worked but you do not see in many hotels anymore. The bathroom sink is not located in the bathroom but next to the entery door which I personally do not like too much.

The breakfast was very good as was the staff.

There not a lot of hotel options in the area so even though it may not match up well against most Holiday Inn Expresses it is amongst the better hotels here.

“Good Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

I stayed here for 3 nights while in the area for a family wedding. I requested a quiet room, and was given a room on the second floor at the north end of the building. The room met my needs, and was quiet and restful.

The housekeeping staff saw that the room was kept clean and was mindful of my request for privacy when I wanted to sleep-in late. I had a view of the ocean from the bedroom window. I had not expected this, and was pleasantly surprised. It was a nice reminder of the closeness of the hotel to the beach.

I enjoyed Coffee and Pastry each morning which is provided as a courtesy amenity by the hotel to the guests. The pastry was fresh and tasty.

If I visit Kitty Hawk again I would enjoy staying here.

This hotel is a short walk to the ocean and the one of the best restaurants in Kitty Hawk - the black pelican. We had a lovely room on the 2nd floor. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was good and had variety.

Room Tip: make sure it's not near the ice machine and games on the first floor - would ask for the 2nd flo...
