Verified review, stayed from Fri Feb 28 to Sat Mar 01 2025 at a $394.00 average nightly rate.
"This was a cluster."
Overall score2.0/ 5
We stayed at this hotel twice in a four day period. Had we not had a pre paid reservation, we would not have stayed the second time. We dealt with four front desk clerks over this time and only one had half a clue as to what they were doing. We have stayed at HIE numerous times over the years but I think this will be the last. Plus, your breakfast of cheese omelets and turkey sausage ducks. How about just some scrambled eggs and bacon?.

"Exceptional Staff and Location."
Overall score5.0/ 5
This is clearly a five Star Hotel. The location is perfect. Stores and restaurants are within walking distance and the neighborhood is very safe. The grounds are an oasis and beautiful. A great place to go outside and have coffee. The rooms are impeccable, the staff exceptionally kind and thoughtful. I knew I was leaving after midnight, so the staff prepared my discharge paperwork for me. As I was leaving, a bus full of Cruise Ship travelers were there to spend the night prior to boarding their ship. It was madness and the noise deafening. I had already prechecked out with the desk and was just dropping off my key passes. The staff were in total control, the guests were not. But the staff knew what to do and were moving things along impeccably. I wrangled my way to the desk and put my keys/cards on the desk. I felt so sorry for the staff that were doing everything they could for the travelers. The staff never lost their cool. They were professional and kept everything in order. I was in the presence of greatness.
Ruth T. (Individual traveller, booked 1 room), from
28-May-2024
Verified review, stayed from Fri May 24 to Tue May 28 2024 at a $116.99 average nightly rate.
"Immaculatly clean, stunningly beautiful, exceptional staff, perfect location."
Overall score5.0/ 5
I was in town for a visit with family. I needed a place close to the port. This location is perfect. Stores and shopping in walking distance, with a great grocery store as well as cafes and restaurants. Plus, a major hospital is blocks away if you need it. This hotel is beautiful, polite, immaculate, professional and a hidden gem on a busy street.
