We were there with a group and surprised that check in took so long. After a long day of travel, we just wanted to get to our room. The room and bed were great. Eight of us had dinner there the last night. Our meals arrived but one. We asked several times about the remaining meal and were told it was on the way. The third time we told them it had been 45 minutes which we determined by the receipt. The employee wanted to argue & deny it had been that long. We asked them to check the kitchen again, they finally came out with the meal & just handed it to one of the group who then delivered it to the table. No apology was provided

Not bad overall. Mattress too firm for me

Used to stay here in the past when on business in the area. Pretty much get what you get with HIExpress. Personally the mattress was far too hard and my back hurt in the morning. Breakfast is free, and it ok. For free. But wouldn't have been too happy if had to pay for it. Also, housekeeping. When i hang my towel, stop replacing it!!!

Super friendly check in clerk. Breakfast was included in our stay. The beds were comfy! We stayed here to tour WB studios; it was about a 10 minute uber ride. It’s right across from the train station so easily walkable.
