"Staff was great."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Morehead Cty by IHG

8/10 Good

"I was greeted by Krystal at check in. She was very professionally casual and charismatic. When I saw her the next day, she addressed me by name. That made me smile for the rest of my stay. My travel friend and I were staying in room 222. The room was very clean. However, both queen box springs on the beds were very....and I mean VERY squeaky and noisy with each turn and upon getting in and out of bed. To the point of interrupting sleep. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The location was great for our needs."
