Everything about this HI is excellent. This is the BEST HI Express at which I have ever stayed….and that many.
The people, location, hotel and room are just the best. Most polite and professional people serving was the highlight. This should be the model for all HI Express in the US.
Room was spacious and the view out on the river was beautiful! Had everything we needed, very clean, and nice staff! We opted not to pay for breakfast, so can't comment on it. Would recommend for a long or short stay. Easy parking and access to everywhere.
The pool temperature needs to be warmer especially in winter temps. Also it would be nice to have breakfast included with every room for price of rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful to anything we needed eve though it was thanksgiving. The lobby area was clean and inviting. The room was quiet and clean too, it was nice to come back to after a busy day with family.
Best place to stay. Right at the end of the walking path but far enough from the center of the noise to be quiet. If they offered a free breakfast would be perfect.
GREAT place to stay when visiting Owensboro. Located right on the river, close to great parks, restaurants and walking paths. The hotel was clean, quiet and the staff was fantastic!
