Got tired of crappy beds in other hotels so didn't the extra for HIE. Comfy beds, quiet and clean, bright rooms. Breakfast even had gluten free options. Staff was really nice. Fitness center had the basics. Would definitely stay here again.

I am not expecting too much as I am accustomed to the kind of service in most hotels in Florida. I just hope they provide good orientation to their staff on how to be appropriate. Guy at the front desk who wrar earrings on the nostril can't even speak with good manners. For a bottled water, he yelled at me.

The night audit was done early & our room we reserved was no longer available. So one of our 3 slept on a pull out, there was only 1 pillow for it, not ideal after driving for 13 hours, but it is what it is. All that being said, the gal at the desk was super sweet. And the rooms are exactly what you’d expect for IHG.
