Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

8/10 Good
"My biggest comlpaint is that on the website it says there is a Keurig machine in the room - great. What it doesn't tell you is that you need to bring your own pods - bummer. If you're going to provide the Keurig and not pods OR cups, then say so; that way we know ahead of time."
