    This was a great location right on the beach. Clean lobby and rooms. Adequate parking but could be tight in the busy season. The free breakfast had good options.

    We absolutely love staying at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Nags Head Oceanfront! You truly cannot beat the location!!! You park, walk a few steps, go up a short set of stairs, and BAM… you’re literally on the beach. It’s perfect 🙌 The breakfast buffet always comes in clutch in the mornings with tasty omelets and a great variety of breakfast meats (BACON 🥓) that change daily. Such a great way to start beach days and keep us full until dinner time! Our room was always clean and well-maintained, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. This hotel consistently delivers comfort, convenience, and amazing hospitality. We can’t wait to stay here again! It’s our go to spot in Nags Head! 🌞🏖️
