Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southern Pines-Pinehurst Area, an IHG Hotel

THE ONE person who made our trip worthy of returning was Marquita “Money” Temoney. She is FANTASTIC!! You should give her a raise!! She lit up the room with her welcoming smile and gift of hospitality when we first walked in. She even texted later to see if we needed anything. You have a jewel of an employee in her !!!

Immaculate room with comfy bed and both firm and plush pillows.Dove soap, shampoo and conditioner. Single serve coffeemaker with good quality coffee pods. Above par breakfast buffet with sausage gravy, hot oatmeal, scrambled eggs and waffles. Lovely breakfast attendant and front desk personnel.

All staff was very friendly from the front desk to the maids. The breakfast had a wonderful selection of food. They even had grab bags to take food on the go. The rooms were spacious, the beds very comfortable and we made use of fridge and microwave. Each time we walked into the lobby it smelled like Mr Clean and we saw several times the lobby being mopped. There was lots of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel was far enough away from the highway so you couldn't hear traffic noise. Several shopping plazas near by. We didn't take advantage of the exercise room or the laundry facilities but nice to know they were available.

Hotel was decorated for fall. They even had super cute hay bales with pumpkins,mums,gourds and lights around the main entrance. We were going to take photos but ran out of time. The actual hotel was super clean and the front desk staff was wonderful and friendly! Our room was very roomy, had great lighting, comfy bed and the best blackout curtains ever!!!! They were even switch operated. The free continental breakfast was huge and had a wide variety which was being constantly restocked.

The property was great staff was friendly. The only complaint was the noise from other guest. I could hear the TV in the room beside until a late hour and the person above me. But other than that great location.
