We stayed five nights at The Holly Inn to celebrate a family wedding. In a lifetime of travel I cannot recall a more horrid lodging experience. The Holly Inn misrepresents itself on its website in the extreme, claiming grand historic elegance and 4 diamond service, absolutely not true. When we arrived in the evening there was no bellman. The elevator... More

My husband chose a week's stay at a world class golf resort despite the fact that we don't play golf-just tennis! And we were not disappointed. We stayed at the Holly Inn in a two room suite but were able to use all of the Carolina Inn's facilities-just a two minute shuttle away. The shuttles were extraordinarily prompt- a few... More

Stayed at Holly Inn for 4 nights in early March 2012 for a golf tournament. In general, the hotel is nice, much smaller and low key than the Carolina Inn. However, the rooms are a bid outdated and could use a few extra touches. A few observations. The walls and doors are bit thin and noise travels well from halls,... More

We selected this hotel for our stay in Pinehurst as it was in the middle of 3 possible choices. We were very pleased with the choice. Large rooms, comfortable beds, free Wifi, everything you can expect from a 4* hotel really. As far as the rooms are concerned we couldn't have been better at the more expensive Carolina. The only...

Stayed on Aug. 19 for an overnight golf trip. I didn't scrutinize the room until I had already unpacked, but was disappointed to find a bathroom with rotted/moldy grout in the tub, along with a couple missing floor tiles (despite paying over $350/night). Air conditioning was also weak/inconsistent. All in all, the style is "worn out bed & breakfast." I... More

We make several trips to Pinehurst each year. While all the facilities are wonderful, the Holly Inn is our favorite. The historical beauty and accommodations (updated) located in the heart of downtown Pinehurst make this a breathtaking place to stay. The Carolina Inn is just a few blocks away, either by walking or taking the shuttle. The Tavern, in the... More

My dad, brother and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago while playing golf and had a great time. The service was excellent - friendly helpful staff that were ready to help any time day or night. The rooms were very comfortable but a little stuffy - that is to be expected in an older hotel like this. The... More

My wife and I stayed here for four days on a golf vacation and were extremely happy. The staff was courteous and helpful throughout our stay, letting us check in early and making sure all of our needs were met. The hotel is very old and has a couple issues- the carpet in the hallways needs replacing and there aren't... More

The Holly Inn is all one could ask for for upscale golf trip accommodations. Of course, it's so much more than a golf hotel. Top notch service, excellent rooms, useful and welcome amenities, and, perhaps above all, the best ambiance in town. Stay here and you'll be in the heart of it all. At the on-site restaurant and tavern you'll... More
