I love that the room did not have carpet. Because hotels with carpet have bad odor and this room did not have a bad odor. Location is good, a lot of fast food restaurants are near and other shopping stores.

We recently visited OBX for the first time and stayed here. We stayed on the 4th floor in the tower building. When we arrived we were told the elevator didn’t work. I have a bad hip plus asthma so this was not good for me. I would have thought it would be fixed within a day but 5 days later still nothing. Would have been nice to offer some type of discount for that. As far as the room and the rest of the hotel I was very pleased. Rooms were very nice. Nice beach access.

Overnight Stay

Reviewed By theJourneyGal

Checked in quite late. Gayle was a sight for sore eyes and took great care of us with her knowledge of the hotel and area. After checking in, she said she would call us to make sure we were good and settled. She kept her word, and it was really like having our own personal concierge. Very sweet, accommodating, and professional. The room was ok, had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. I really didn't have any expectations, but to sleep for a few hours. Would recommend it if you need a quick, clean, friendly place to lay your head after a night of traveling.

I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the Jonathan Creek Inn and Villas was. My room was very comfortable, and it was very relaxing to sit on the balcony and listen to the creek below. While they don't offer breakfast, they are directly across the street from the well-known Joey's Pancake House. This is a great option if you're staying in Maggie Valley!

I try to stay here on my way back to Virginia for 2 or 3 nights after visiting my father in Florida. I have stayed here 3 times since March 2021, and each stay has been remarkable. On my first visit, Will provided me with a list of places to eat that I have frequented on subsequent visits. I will be back.

Reviewed By Linda P

This facility was newly renovated. Rooms are huge and very clean. We stayed in a king suite that had shade at the window (no drapes or curtains to blow in the A/C). The room was well lit with lots of diffused, wall-washing light fixtures and a quiet A/C. There was a sitting area with a large sofa and coffee table, an armoire, larger size refrig, microwave, and a Keurig coffeemaker. Bed was very comfortable with a duvet-covered comforter and nice quality bed linens. Large bathroom had a very large lighted bathroom wall mirror and soft, thick towels. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage patties, tender biscuits, make-your-own pancakes, muffins, toast, yogurt, cereals, juices and oranges. This was our first time staying at a Holiday Inn Express and we will definitely stay in them again.
