Bed was worse it could be. Two sleepless nights due to bed. Breakfast, no bacon though it had been served to others. No place to sit for breakfast. In all, not a good experience. May not use HI express again.

Bugs in room
The room looked clean and nice; UNTIL we found bugs in the shower, on the bathroom floor and my daughter had a cockroach land on her thigh while sitting by the bed. When we told the staff they seemed unbothered.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It is more expensive than we normally would pay. It really shouldn’t cost as much as it does. Even so, we loved staying here. It was close to historic Sylva.

Checking in was easy, the lobby and room was clean. Went to bed with the A/C set low and in the middle of the night, it shut off. The room was crazy hot. For the rest of the night, the A/C would turn off and on. Made the stay horrible.
