Holiday Inn Express Kitty Hawk Outer Banks by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Kitty Hawk Outer Banks by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Our first stay at the Holiday Inn express as a couple was a great overall experience experience. Staff were extremely accommodating and answered many questions about the surrounding area for great places to eat and attractions. The cleanliness of the rooms inside of the hotel was excellent, outside. Common areas were well kept and always clean and maintain. Staff during breakfast we always pleasant and very attentive, constantly replenishing all items for the buffet and cleaning constantly with a smile and a great conversation. The overall attentiveness, attitude from staff provided an excellent stay for me and my fiancé, but also for many families that we saw coming in and out of the property during our time there. With always choose to stay here again as a primary choice and kitty Hall."
