Although billed as a downtown hotel, it was not a place one would walk from. It met our needs, but is nothing special. The breakfast buffet was adequate.

tonya, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to campus but not the nicest spot. If you are visiting town this isn’t super close to much - maybe the casino? But as all HI Express, if you just need a warm bed, a warm breakfast and free parking this is absolutely perfect. Simple and convenient.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and the staff was very efficient.
LESLIE, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Service was friendly, property & room were clean. Hallways were a little dim. Smell was just a little musty. Not offensive, but a little better ventilation would probably cure it. Breakfast area was roomy & nice, food on par with similar properties. Parking cramped but adequate. I’d stay there again.
