Well, it certainly wasn't an HIE during it's prior life - because the HIE brand was not established when the facility was built 40-50 years ago. However, renovations and continued upkeep resulted in an okay place to bed down for the night. There are two floors, but no elevator. Didn't use the pool, but it looked fine. Lobby area and associated breakfast area was also fine. Plenty of room for breakfast and a very good layout. Typical HIE pancake machine and hot cinamon rolls, a rotating hot item (it was sausage gravy + biscuits that morning), and all other stuff you expect, including raison bread for toasting. Room was clean, matresses were quite firm (great for me but my wife was not comfortable), flat panel TV, coffee maker, no mini-frig or MW. Bathroom was pretty small with very little sink counter top. Shower head was fine; towels were passable, but they didn't absorb very well at all.

Overall, I considered it to be a tad over priced. A 2-1/2 star rating would be a stretch - definately not a 3 star propery. I would give it a 3.5 "approval rating". It's in somewhat better shape than the Hawthorn Suites in Holland and much nicer than the Super 8 in Maumee.
