We came into town for an overnight, on a Saturday no less, and there was a lot of people and activity. We were surprised at the size of the property, and that is was conjoined to the StayBridge. SB is our go-to, but the higher price made us choose the HIX. We were not disappointed.
We were very pleased that the staff honored all of our preferences from our profile and as requested in our reservation. The room was very clean. This has not been our usual experience lately with HIX. There was an abundance of towels in the bathroom, and the lights were very bright in both the bath and the room which was a nice change, again, from the usual HIX experience.
Breakfast at 930am on Sunday morning was packed! Literally not an open chair to sit in, but there were trays provided for taking food elsewhere so we decided to take ours back to our room. The food was really well-stocked and rotated which made us very happy. It was also better quality than we have seen lately in the US.
So again, far better than our usual HIX experiences lately.
Is the difference Canada vs US? No idea, but this was a really great experience. We would definitely choose this property again.
