Happy Express Hotel

Property is in a great location for walking around and exploring the area.

We were greeted by a friendly and helpful staff person, who let us check in early. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable.

Nothing

Staff, garden/pool area, very clean and well maintained rooms and common areas, quiet

Poor WiFi connection, bathroom could be improved (not fully closed off from the bedroom, water pressure low, shower not isolated well from the rest of the bathroom so showering wets the whole bathroom)

It was fine for orientating myself to the city and state. One male staff member (I think more connected to his Indigenous roots) was seemed quite authentic/sincere and was quite friendly. The room was neatly-ordered (though keeping the windows open would have helped against the stuffiness). They recommended a decent café on the corner, and convenience store.

Some other guests were very loud early one morning. The staff present did nothing to ask them to lower their voices. I tried calling the reception to ask them to ask these guests to lower their voices but a woman receptionist hung up on me. They seemed to give me bad directions to a bar they revommended that was mostly some ignorant foreigners. Clarity and better direction would have helped. They connected me to a couple services that on reflection were a bit expensive.
