Toilet ran non stop. Had to turn off the water. Once turned back on, tank wouldn’t fill so the toilet wouldn’t flush.
Room came with 1 bottle of water. I was there for 3 nights. When I asked the front desk for 2 more, I was charged.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
There's little to no parking, and the parking lot is an accident waiting to happen, and unlike other HIE Hotels, there's no microwaves in the rooms

Liked: Cleanliness
location on the water is nice . However the restaurant was closed and did not offer any breakfast .
This was annoying as I had an appointment at 930 AM and I had to search for a place to have breakfast.
Parking lot also needs more space and upkeep.
I always stay at this hotel, and love the staff and facility. The only issue was that only one of the three treadmills were working in the fitness room.
