We arrived late and left early as we were just passing through Beloit on our way home to Seattle. One thing that I noticed as soon as we walked into the building to head to our room, was a really funky smell. It may have had something to do with the pool, but it was an unpleasant smell. However, the smell was not noticeable in the main hallway or our room. This seemed to be a smaller, older HIE, but it was comfortable. Carpeting in the room looked fairly new; not so much in the hallway. Tv was not a flat screen, but plenty of channels to choose from. Breakfast area was not attended well. Things should have been replentished more often. A couple minor issues: 1) The bathroom counter had absolutely no usable space. Counter space over the toilet tank does not count. 2) There was a counter outside the bathroom that held the coffeemaker. There was a picture over the counter--if this had been a mirror, it would have been a nice place to use to get ready while leaving the bathroom for someone else. One major issue: 1) The WiFi did NOT work. Only one bar coverage. If you advertise WiFi, it needs to be a strong enough signal for people to get online. I did fill out the "What did you think about our WiFi" form, but it seems to me that if they are asking for you to fill out a form, then they already know that there are problems with the WiFi. All in all, a nice place to stay. But they really need to do something with their WiFi. It's something that I count on when I stay at any HIE.
