I honestly panicked and start walking away from the door. A gentleman came half asleep and startled. I apologized and showed him my room key. Fortunately he understood and went back to sleep. That could’ve ended VERY bad for me. Imagine someone trying to open your room door at 2:30 in the morning!! I understand it was a mistake from the front desk personnel. But, I travel a lot for work and in over 15 years of staying out of town in hotels, this is the very first time this happens to me.

This hotel is consistently clean, in great repair, and has friendliest, most professional staff I have experienced. I base this review on several stays at the Holiday Inn Express Apex, not just this last stay. Will always stay here when in the Raleigh area!

Ben at the check-in desk was a very nice person with a very pleasant welcoming personality.
- 5/5
An exceptionally pleasant stay all around at a very affordable price. I was especially pleased with the woods and creek view from our room and how quiet it was. Great breakfast! Super comfortable bed with a variety of pillows. I was tempted to snitch the soft pillow. I wish I could buy one just like it. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit family!
- 5/5
Always a wonderful stay. Other than this time being told at the front desk that breakfast lasts until 10. Showing up at 9:20 to get breakfast and rudely being told it’s closed. I was not the only one there were a handful of people who had been told the same thing. Even if it were closing at 9:30 it was still only 9:20, but we were told 10 am at the front desk. The person in chat of breakfast shut off the Orange juice machine e as my 11 year old son was goi g to get some. This was 9:25. We were told rudely once again that breakfast was closed. This was all the day after Christmas by the way. Definitely the worst I have ever been treated by any of your hotels.

It started with the check in. Cherry upgraded us "just because she could", and I felt like a family member. We weren't actually there very long, but every person we encountered had that southern hospitality. We were also very impressed with the breakfast - a step up from most other places. We definitely will return.

I made the reservations in my name, but my husband was able to check in. I thought this was a little odd since the reservations were in my name. Could have been a disaster if there were any problems within the family.

The only thing I could say I didn't like was that there was a Muslim family there and they wanted to eat the sausages but it was pork sausages and pork bacon so of course her and her kids couldn't eat any of those things and that would be a nice suggestion to implement like beef sausage or beef bacon not only that so utensils that's being used for the pork bacon and the pork sausage sometimes people switch them around and then they turn around to be used to pick up the eggs also and that's not good especially if someone is not eating pork.

The staff was wonderful, friendly, and very efficient. Beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. However, the room smelled musty and there was visible mold on the wall by the light switch plate in the bathroom, water dripping from the light switch plate on the other side of that wall, and moisture in the air. Overall, I would not stay here again.

Room was a good size and clean. Assume the floors were heated as they were warm to bare feet. Nice comfy bed and pillows. Instructions on coffee maker inadequate. Note clear on when pwr button is pushed and or brew. Liked the easy ability to change the temp in the room. The grab bar at the shower was not positioned so it was handy while the shower curtain is closed. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

Front desk staff was amazing. There was a good Mexican restaurant that could be walked to from the hotel. Only downside was the breakfast could have been better. Other than that, a great stay!

Our stay was wonderful. We had the room with a king sized bed and accessible with a roll in shower that also had a pull down seat with a shower head that is easily reached from the seat. The internet worked well and we had a nice big flat screen TV on the wall opposite the bed. The AC was good and cold. The hot breakfast was really good. When we're in Apex again, this is where we will want to stay!

Stayed for 2 nights while visiting my best friend. Room was very clean and maintained. I am very picky about the cleanliness of hotel bathrooms and the bathroom surpassed my expectations. My only complaint was that the mini fridge was not cold at all and smelled a little fishy so i didnt use it. Will definitely be staying here again next visit.

Our room was clean and nice except that it was a handicapped accessible room but didn't have a comfortable chair to sit in. The only chair besides the office chair was an apholstered chair with no arms or footstool and most mobility challenged people need both to make a chair workable. So i had to dit in my wheelchaur at all times l. Recliners work well for handicapped people.
