Everything about this HI is excellent. This is the BEST HI Express at which I have ever stayed….and that many. The people, location, hotel and room are just the best. Most polite and professional people serving was the highlight. This should be the model for all HI Express in the US.

The pool temperature needs to be warmer especially in winter temps. Also it would be nice to have breakfast included with every room for price of rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful to anything we needed eve though it was thanksgiving. The lobby area was clean and inviting. The room was quiet and clean too, it was nice to come back to after a busy day with family.
