The front desk staff seemed very friendly and helpful. The public areas were clean and tidy.
The negative aspects were:
Excessive noise / loud conversations
No posted signs re. noise policy. In fact, there seemed to be no noise policy as the patio (ground floor level) allowed people well into the night (11:30pm) and really early in the morning (5:30am) The public areas of the hotel were *extremely* echoey and thus it was very important to have signs re. noise and loud conversations.
A minor negative> the rooms lacked "do not disturb" door knob signs to alert the room service staff.

Loved staying at the Happy Express. The staff was excellent and very helpful and friendly. Rooms are nice and clean and beds are on the harder side which I like. AC works well and you get woken up by a lot of birds that come to the courtyard. We'll be back!
