Great location. They ran out of towels for two days and they only gave us 3 towels for a family of 4. That should never happen at a Holliday inn. People need clean towels no exceptions on that. Breakfast was ok. Rooms were clean. Great location.

Location was great and the room was clean. What you expect from Holiday Inn Express as far as pool and breakfast amenities. The property could use some mechanical upgrades and general maintenance. Our room AC ran constantly and the room was humid.

I booked a room and something happened with the reservation but the front desk attendant was very helpful so I was still able to get the room. When I got to my room it was very clean and the AC was full blast which was very nice. Breakfast was good but somewhat crowded. The location made my first visit to OBX nice and I look forward to visiting again. Ps: the beach is right up the stairs from the parking lot.
