The front desk clerk was away so long that I waited 20 minutes before checking in. If you're tired, never choose this place. We have the worst customer response

The two nights we stayed there, a team group was also staying at the hotel. The teenagers were slamming doors, knocking on random room doors, and talking loudly in the hallways starting around 10:30 PM each night. It made it impossible to sleep.
The front desk was responsive and did try to stop the noise multiple times, even contacting the chaperone, but unfortunately the disruptions continued afterward. My husband and I almost left in the middle of the second night because we were so frustrated and exhausted.
We appreciate the staff’s effort, but the experience itself was miserable and completely disrupted our stay. We would not choose this hotel again.

4.5 stars - I've stayed in many Holiday Inn Expresses and this was certainly one of the best. The location is great to Blowing Rock and Downtown Boone. The staff was very cordial and attentive. The room was comfortable and well maintained. I would highly recommend this hotel.
