Staff was great. Breakfast was what I expected. Main reason for rating is the room doors looked like someone tried to break into all of them. Also, pillows were too low. Maybe have a set of higher/firm and a set of soft for options.

1st room didn’t smell fresh and room was too small. Got 2nd room and it smelt better. However, room service was very poor. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and room was never cleaned. Only got fresh towels once. Garbage was never taken out!! The condiments such as the cookies was extremely hard. The cups used for drinking water was very weak within seconds of getting water. A big smelly dog was allowed in the breakfast dining room!! This was not a service dog!!! Fire alarm went off and no one said anything about it and it was late at night. Location of elevators was very poor!! Front desk staff could have been more friendly to guests. TV stations for the sports games was cut off while watching. However, none sports stations continued to play. Having a central TV in the lobby area with full access to cable or streaming channels would’ve been great!! Think about getting soft cookies and better cups for water. Rooms should be cleaned on a daily basis. Do not let dogs into areas where food is being served, except Service Dogs.

The hotel staff was excellent, very courteous and responsive. Breakfast was also very good and had an excellent variety. The room was definitely clean. However, the condition off the room was old, especially the bathrooms. Though it was clearly cleaned (as much as it could be), rusted shower fixtures and aged scraped bath tub was less than appealing. It wasn’t a bad stay but not one I intend on repeating. Again though the staff and service were top notch.

This hotel is in a relatively nice area. But the rooms are not clean when one checks in, and they do not get cleaned until I called the desk on the second day. Every night when I returned after my day there was a crowd of people hooting and hollering, blasting music and smoking weed openly just outside the front door. The elevators were dirty. The towels were not what one expects from HI Express. This location needs to have their franchise taken away.
