Disliked: Staff & service
Having stayed at HIE S over the years, we have expectations as we are paying $300 a night. 1. Our room after the first night of three, was never cleaned, e.g., night 2 beds were made 2. Night 3 room was never visited; everything exactly as we left in morning. Especially annoying in that we were driving an hour each way to attend Masters Tournament 3. Spoke w/ front desk, never heard from manager. Some promise of points to be added to our account—none yet 4. Staff interacted w/ polite
