Holiday Inn Express Fort Bragg, an IHG Hotel

"Right off Hwy 20 easy to get to close to town. VERY clean and comfortable beds with a large bathroom and tub. Great views from the rooms and modern heater that gets the room toastie in no time. Nice continental breakfast with plenty of spaces to sit. Indoor pool and jacuzzi as well."

"Only stayed one night until we could check in to our cabin on the coast. Very friendly staff, comfy bed. Quiet setting. The lobby "store" was a little bare bones but lots of food options nearby. Would definitely stay again!"

"The best place to stay in the little town of Fort Bragg. We enjoyed our stay.. very clean. The breakfast was Amazing!!!!"

"The view from our window and the lobby balcony was beautiful. The rooms were clean and serviced daily. The front desk staff were all so friendly and helpful no matter what time or what shift. The location is great to be able to explore during the day. The breakfast in the morning was really good and even offered fresh biscuits and gravy. Highly recommend for a short stay."

"Was planning a few day trip (2 nights) in the Fort Bragg area. I looked at ALL the motels/hotels via Maps and websites/photos. Most of them looked tired and were expensive. None of them seemed to include breakfast, which is not necessary, but when spending so much a perk would be nice other than a run-down room. I saw that the Holiday Inn Express was in the area and, per some reviews, recently refreshed! I know at least I'd get some consistency in service/quality AND the option of breakfast. We selected a room with forest view which will cost more, but it was worth it - very pretty. Not so much that it will be quiet (because the hallways do echo, fellow travellers can you PLEASE be more cognizant of that) this isn't something I blame the hotel for, just the inconsiderate people who violate it. I used my phone's sleep noise maker one night due to late night revelers. The room was very clean, and it indeed appeared to have had a very recent facelift. The paint was in perfect condition, furniture clean, carpet clean, nice window treatments that allowed for near darkness in the brightest light of the day. Bathroom in good repair. I like that the room has the water closet and the vanity separate/outside in the room. The room was very a'la Scandinavian Designs. It was appointed with a hairdryer, decent sized mini fridge (not the cube but a rectangle). Keurig maker (1 regular 1 decaf cup in room upon arrival with cups and basic sugar/powdered cream). TV was decent. Bed was too firm for me (side/back sleeper), it was nearing too firm for my partner (stomach sleeper). I personally had a couple of rough nights of sleep. I don't usually dock stars for this, as hotels can't accomodate everyone's sleeping preference- some will find the bed comfortable, and the mattress was in good repair/seemingly new, just not for ME nor my partner. Pillows were fine. For me, I had to stack. He was good with one pillow. Hotel has good amenities, there is a small snack bar (pay for items), pool and spa are indoors and away from the rooms to the right of the office this thankfully keeps the noise down. We did not use the pool area at all- hottub looked VERY small, and if there were 1-2 people in it, I would personally feel like not using it. Pool is not a bad size. Front desk crew were very nice. They have small things if you forget them like toothpaste/toothbrush, razors, and a few other things (check the info card in your room). I had to get a toothbrush because I dropped mine on the floor on the first night and, well, not using it again. The toothbrush I got from them was Colgate brand and not a single use brush. Breakfast is decent. Some of the options changed in the 2 days we were there (for example, one day bacon the next turkey sausage), some items stay the same every day (yogurt, cereal, pancakes, bread options, juice and milks, apples/bananas). You can take it back to your room, but there are no trays, just paper plates. The eating area where we sat was clean, in like new shape and comfortable. There is also very limited seating on a balcony (accomodating about 6 people at 2 person tables if that). Coffee is available in the lobby all day/night with real creams (not powdered) at hand. Not the best coffee (IMO) but will do the trick. There is an elevator, but once you bring your things up to your room, the stairs are close and easy to use to get down to the lobby faster. We enjoyed our stay in the area and liked the hotel."
