Close to campus but not the nicest spot. If you are visiting town this isn’t super close to much - maybe the casino? But as all HI Express, if you just need a warm bed, a warm breakfast and free parking this is absolutely perfect. Simple and convenient.

Hospital Stay Accommodations

I’ve stayed at this location multiple times due its proximity to the hospital. It is always clean and quiet. This was my first trip eating breakfast, but it’s just a basic Grab and Go Breakfast of some omelettes, biscuits, sausage, muffins, cereal etc..
