The room was not as clean as we would have liked, small couch was filthy and the right side USB outlets beside the bed did not work at all. This Hotel is one of our favorites to stay in Owensboro but, the cost was too high. I knew it was a holiday weekend and booked it anyway. The riverfront view was nice and we will stay here again. Time for so upgrades for $350 a night....

Everything about this HI is excellent. This is the BEST HI Express at which I have ever stayed….and that many. The people, location, hotel and room are just the best. Most polite and professional people serving was the highlight. This should be the model for all HI Express in the US.
