i recently stayed at the holiday inn express during a family trip and it really exceeded my expectations. the location was perfect, just minutes away from oak island’s beach access, and the indoor pool was a hit with the kids. the staff was friendly and helpful, making our stay even better.

I had a lovely time during my stay. the indoor pool was perfect for a lazy afternoon and the complimentary breakfast had some tasty options like fresh pancakes and hot eggs. The rooms were cozy, although the hallway carpets could use a refresh. I recommend checking out the pool area for a relaxing break! 😊

Wonderful Stay with Family-Friendly Amenities

I had a fantastic experience during my recent stay. The indoor pool was a hit with my kids, especially since it was open till 11:00 PM, allowing us to unwind after a busy day. The breakfast offered a variety of delicious options, including freshly baked pastries, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, making it a perfect retreat after exploring Oak Island. However, I found the parking situation a bit cramped, especially during peak times.

It was just a smart choice for a break on a long journey in Oak Island with good value considering the price. The hotel is pet friendly, which made it perfect for us since we traveled with our dog. Make sure to check out the nearby shopping complex for any last-minute items.

So, we stayed here for a couple nights right? One of the staff at the front desk was super friendly. gave my kids some stickers as we checked out, made their day!

Now, on the downside, it wasn’t exactly cheap, just saying.

The staff were exceptionally accommodating, always ready to assist. The room was clean and the amenities met my needs. I particularly liked the breakfast options, with fresh items that satisfied my morning cravings.

The bed could have been more comfortable.

during our stay, the hotel totally exceeded my expectations. the indoor pool was perfect for the kids, and the breakfast selection kept us fueled for our beach days. every staff member was friendly and accommodating, making our visit truly special.

room had a bit of a musty smell

Didn't like anything, except breakfast was nice.

Great spot for a getaway

We had a good time, but the suite left us a bit bummed. There was mold in the bathroom caulk and some dog hair on the floor. On the bright side, the front desk staff were super friendly and the breakfast options were solid! Just wish the room had a deeper clean. The dogs enjoyed it, tho!

The location is great for visiting Southport and nearby beaches, and the overall ambiance was warm and welcoming. However, there were some cleanliness issues, like hair in the bed and a sticky floor. Friendly staff made a positive difference, but room maintenance needs improvement.

great base for exploring oak island and surrounding areas

This hotel really impressed me with its fantastic access to nearby attractions, including the beautiful oak island beach just a few steps away and the pleasant marina at saint james plantation less than 5 km from the hotel. the friendly staff made the experience even better with great customer service and a delicious breakfast each morning, ensuring I started my day off right.

i stayed here for 2 nights during a family trip and it exceeded my expectations. the location was fantastic, just minutes from oak island’s beach, and the indoor pool was perfect for the kids. the staff were friendly and accommodating, making our experience truly enjoyable.
