Staff is fine, polite, but keys didn't work, our ground floor room was stinky, sticky stuff on the floor, stains on the carpet, & so much dust/crud in the ac vents, we were nervous to breath the air. Too bad. Not up to HI Express standards we know well.

The best hotel stay I have ever had. I come to visit my dad who lives in a nursing home and they were very accommodating with providing extra assistance for our entire family. The staff was friendly every time we came back to the hotel. The food was yummy and hot, biscuits and gravy were THE BOMB. The coffee was beyond excellent and the room was perfect. We had a WiFi issue with our tv and they came and switched tvs for us immediately. Very very very satisfied with our stay. Will definitely be coming back!
