I've stay at this Holiday inn Express before, with good results. Recently the last two stays have been terrible. Dirty rooms, stained carpets room amenities not working, Internet non existent. The cheaper price attracted all the wrong crowd with noise in the hallways and people cooking out in the parking lot. Won't be staying here anymore, value my rest too much.

Nice stay at the Hampton Inn

Reviewed By diamondgirlMichigan

This older but attractive motel was very nice for our short visit to Kinston. We liked the lobby with its large pieces of art and our room with pleasant photographs. There is a decent workout room and an outdoor pool. Our room was clean and had plenty of outlets for electronics. The few people we met were pleasant and capable.

Reviewed By THenderson2014

This hotel has roaches. When letting the desk clerk know and she took pictures to show to her manager. I was advised i would get a call back once they check the room. It was over 24 hours i had to call back. Finally the manager returned my call. Of course you know he said they didn't find anything 24 plus hours later and no he wasn't going to compensate. Never again will i stay at this roach motel

One Large Flaw

Reviewed By Nancy C

Our initial impression was of a very clean, new hotel with many signs and literature pointing out its commitment to cleanliness. Halls were clean, room was clean, and bathroom bright and white. Unfortunately during the late night my husband spotted what he described as the biggest roach he'd ever seen in his life. I knew something was up when I heard incessant thwacking sounds coming from the bathroom. Needless to say, I wore my flipflops at all times after that. We reported it to the front desk upon our departure, really just to let them know and hope something could be done so the next person wouldn't have to deal with that issue. We were told that after it rains, the large pests come to the surface and enter the building. Okay.... thanks for the scientific explanation, but wouldn't a look of concern have been more appropriate? And some mention of trying to get rid of them? It's a shame because otherwise it was a very nice stay.

Denied our stay last minute after booking 3 days ago.

Reviewed By kikondhisfriends

I booked a room in this hotel 3 days ago and told them it was 2 adults & 3-4 children and they said it was fine through the phone. When we got there before the hurricane they denied our stay because it was 6 of us and said we couldn’t make it work! Keep in mind this a few hours before the hurricane! I got my refund and everything but worst kind of people and service and it’s over priced for the looks and hospitality of this hotel. Don’t recommend it to any family. Hope they get their situation together!! And I hope they start helping families in need!
