Property was well kept, room met expectations and was clean, staff was frkendly. All in all it was a good stay however suggest the property installs video security for the parking lot, disregard if this statement is false and the hotel has this already, I was informed they do not. Before stepping foot in the parking lot, right after I parked, right after a non-stop day of travel and everything that brings, I was trying to figure out some details on my rental car when my window was knocked on. A police officer had been working through the parking lot with a flashlight and then knocked on my window. He asked if I saw anyone running around, which I had not. Why? They had alot of car theft breakins recently, and had a report within the last hour. That was great to know and reinforced dont leave anything in the car, but left we concern that a thief might break a window to gain access, then find nothing in the car to steal, then I am left with the rental car company bill or insurance deductible for the window smash. Video surveillance would provide more security and comfort to help with a situations as described. Otherwise, nice hotel and hope they consider a hot tub someday in the future.

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.
