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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.
