Just awful. The hotel needs a complete facelift. The carpet in the room was so dirty that walking on it turned the bottom of our feet black. The bathroom was worn and sketchy cleaned The whole room just felt dirty. Hallways looked worn and smelled like old (if you know that expression you know what I’m talking about ). The lady at front desk did her job but was not welcoming and acted like she was doing us a favor by talking to us. Look elsewhere for a hotel

Everything was good and met expectations. We arrived 3 hours before check-in time and room was ready an we were able to go immediately to the room. Hotel shuttle from airport was also great. I called and was told 20-45 minutes on the wait. 5 minutes later, the shuttle was there. He said he turned around and came back since he was just leaving on an earlier pick-up.

Room was ok but the front staff was not very good. We had a fire alarm go off in the middle of the night. When we went out of the building the staff said that there was not a problem? When fire dept. showed up the front desk worker did not know how to open the door where the fire panel was located. Fire dept said there was no danger and we could go back in. No explanation as to why

The heater/air conditioner only blew COLD air out. Yes, we had it on heat. Cold air was even coming through wall by the unit. We were given sheets to put over it. Did not help! Maintenance Supervisor came and looked at it and said she would have maintenance look at it. Too late. We were checking out. Room 412. Would only give one blanket per room. We needed 2. Paid a decent amount of $$ for this room to be very cold all night. Was not good. Would like a discount for at least part on the room rate. Thank you for your consideration. Dianne Hill

We stayed the night before a cruise. Rooms are clean and the location allows for an easy walk for food and shopping. I gave 4 stars because the desk staff was having a bad day and was very disjointed creating a frustrating check-in. Everyone was pleasant and the offered breakfast was good. We will stay here again should we do another cruise. They promote a privately owned shuttle to the port for $15 per person, which I do not recommend. Very chaotic and a complete money grab. Not a good way to end a nice stay at the hotel and begin a vacation. Get an uber, the ride with the tip is cheaper and you'll be much happier.

Very disappointed. The hotel needs a serious update. I’ve stayed in every kind of hotel From luxury to budget and this was one of the worst. The carpet in my room was dirty and worn. No water pressure and ran out of hot water after a few minutes. We asked for an extra blanket which never came. I’d really suggest looking elsewhere. Theirs plenty of other hotels in the area that look much nicer for about the same price.

The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. Our room and bathroom were very clean although they appeared nice, the bed pillows were rather flat and in need of replacement. We did not like being rushed out of the breakfast room. It was the least pleasant aspect of our stay as it added daily stress. We have never had that experience before at HIE.
