9/10 Wonderful! (768 reviews)

Facility including the room and staff was fabulous, fairly new building, no issues. I only wish that more hotels would follow some of the HI Express standard of NO CARPET in rooms, just to provide a cleaner more healthy environment for guests, show me the receipts of carpet cleaning.
