Ok stay
Stay a lot with HIE...this one was a bit smaller and tighter as far as the room/bathroom. Breakfast was ok...more fruit would be nice. Pillow selection was good.

Could have been better
Things didn't start great as I got there about 45 minutes before check in time (3pm) and was told my room would be ready at 3. I fully understand rooms need to be turned over and normally this would have been fine - but my car was the only one in the whole parking lot. I find it hard to believe it was a housekeeping issue and not just a "full policy issue". The next day the free breakfast was lacking coffee (pretty key part of breakfast) due to a water issue.
In all, it was a bed and good size room so it checked the basic requirements and was mostly clean but definitely not one I'd choose to stay if had other options.
