Disliked: Staff & service
Having stayed at HIE S over the years, we have expectations as we are paying $300 a night. 1. Our room after the first night of three, was never cleaned, e.g., night 2 beds were made 2. Night 3 room was never visited; everything exactly as we left in morning. Especially annoying in that we were driving an hour each way to attend Masters Tournament 3. Spoke w/ front desk, never heard from manager. Some promise of points to be added to our account—none yet 4. Staff interacted w/ polite

I liked that my room and bathroom were clean. The staff was nice. The breakfast offered was good, average options to choose from. This is my second time staying there. I do like that there are a lot of options for dining nearby. I didn’t like that I had to pay a parking fee though which seems to related to the city Columbia (didn’t recall it from my first visit). Overall, a very nice stay.
