Inside the hotel was nice and the staff was fantastic. Parking was terrible. Very limited and spaces barely big enough to park a car. Rooms were very nice and up to date. But the entire hotel is hardwood floors which meant hearing every sound made though out the floor which meant out infant was woke up all night. Other than that, location is very convenitient to the hospital.

For everyone I interacted with in the very social reception area, it was the proximity to the hospital that brought them to this inn. , same for me, but the feature that I appreciated most because of the new sickness that has been ruling my days for the past 6 mos., vertigo, Ireally was grateful for that 1,5 min. shuttle. The two desk clerks I worked with went above and beyond to be kind and helpful, and it was obvious with the frequently returning guests
