“Most likely will not stay here again.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Arrived on Wednesday in the late afternoon, prior to Thanksgiving. This was a business and pleasure trip. Could not connect to the internet for over 2 hours on Wed. evening. Missed being able to connect and get information for client. Thursday there was no internet service until after 7:30 pm. Desk clerk on Wed. was obviously new and did not know anything about the wireless system. The day clerk on Thurs. was not much better. Also told me they had not had any trouble with the wireless system but I had already talked their Technical Assistance people who let me know they were already having issues from other people. It was a holiday so there was no housekeeping, which was not a big problem. Room was good, bathroom was a little "shopworn" with broken tile and obviously painted ceiling tile and suspension strips. Breakfast was good. Desk clerk at checkout would not make any allowance for the inconvience on No Internet Service.

Room Tip: Marriott is only two minutes away.

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to submit a review of the Holiday Inn Express Morehead City on Tripadvisor. I apologize that your stay was usatisfactory. I understand that there were some issues regarding internet service during Wednesday and Thursday of your stay. Due to the Holiday and the high amount of activity on the internet, the connection was running extremely slow. I sincerely apologize for the internet issues, and the way the front desk handled the situation. I will be speaking with all front desk agents about this issue during our next meeting. Again thank you for taking the time to bring these matters to my attention. If you are ever in the Morehead City area again, please contact me directly to make your reservation.

“Usually Love Holiday Inn Express, but not this one...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

We were in Beaufort for my husband's birthday this summer (on our way to Ocracoke). We had a terrible experience here and didn't end up staying the night. We checked in (after waiting a few minutes in the lobby) to go up to the 3rd floor with a keycard that didn't work. I went back down to the lobby (leaving hubby and 2 kids) to get a working key. After waiting a few minutes, headed back up with "my key". The room was already occupied by a different guest. I headed back down and after several minutes of waiting, explained to the front desk employee about the room. She gave us another room on the 3rd floor. This was an end room with obvious (and visible) mold growing in the air conditioning unit. We were then given another room on another end with visible mold in the unit. When we went back to the desk, (after the 3rd room), we were told that they had a storm recently and were having problems. The wireless internet signal wasn't working on the 3rd floor either. The desk employee told us that no other nearby hotels had rooms available, however after 1 call we found a room at a national chain about 2 minutes away. Save your time...

My name is Brittney Sherman and I am the AGM at the Holiday Inn Express Morehead City. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to submit a review on Trip Advisor. I want to apologize for the issues that occured during your stay. Our hotel has been going through some transitions at the Front Desk and we have since increased our customer service and room accuracy. In regards to the mold in the AC units, Maintenance has since been given the task of cleaning all hotel room A/Cs. If you are ever traveling into the Morehead City area again, and decide to give our hotel another try, please contact me directly to make your reservation. Thank you again for your review of the Holiday Inn Express.

“GREAT staff, hotel had some weak points”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

We checked in Sunday afternoon, Sept 18. Upon checking in and getting up to our first room, we discovered a small ant infestation, so I returned back to the front desk to report the problem while my husband waited upstairs, I tried to call, but the room phone was not operable. The desk clerk said she would get someone to come up and spray, and I let her know that would not work for us...having a room sprayed and an asthmatic husband would be disastrous, and I did not care to smell it either. She said no problem and proceeded to find us a new room, just 2 doors down. We got into that room and settled in, noticing housekeeping had been a little slack on some things. The shampoos the hotel provides....well, ours had been half used and left on the little shelf for us. NO THANKS! Also, I noticed the next morning that the coffee provided had been opened and left as well. Coffee maker was not cleaned either. My husband and I always checked the sheets, Bible, and a few other places we have learned bed bugs hide, and all was well there. About 10:30pm I was getting a little upset that I had not received a call I had been waiting on, only to find out the phone in this room did not work. When I called downstairs (I was in my PJs) from my cell, she informed me that bc of the hurricane, some phones just don't work. That's understandable, but should have been disclosed to me before I checked in. I had to use my cell phone to make right many calls to the area. Other than that....The shower is dark, very dark, bed was comfy, third floor was quiet. Rooms in general were a bit dated, but did not affect my stay. Breakfast was pretty good. You have a lot of variety, healthy and not so healthy. I saw the pool, but it was too cool to use it. Looked nice. Staff was very nice, from the maintenance guy, to the front desk, to housekeeping. We may possibly stay here again, but would definitely check problem areas before settling in. Not quite what I normally get from a Holiday Inn.

My name is Brittney Sherman and I am the AGM at the Holiday Inn Express Morehead City. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to submit a review on Trip Advisor. I want to apologize for the unsatisfying nature of your stay. Our hotel is somewhat dated and we are in the process of adding upgrades a few items at a time. The most recent changes as you may have noticed have been the carpets, lobby/breakfast area, and bed linens. We are looking forward to adding additional upgrades in the coming months. In regards to the ants, unfortunately, they look for dry places due to the hgh humidity and rain. We have weekly inspections from an exterminator to monitor their acitivity. If you are ever traveling into the Morehead City area again, please contact me directly to make your reservation. Thank you again for your review of the Holiday Inn Express.
