The room was ready, clean & spotless. All staff were courteous & friendly & helpful. Most noteworthy is the shuttle service to the hospital. That is invaluable as you don't have to get your car, drive & pay for parking ,if you can find a spot, at the hospital & then walk a long way !The morning breakfast was fresh & hot & staff there always had a smile & helping hand !

There is no other place we stay when we visit the city. The staff and service are always so accommodating and the location is perfect for our needs. The breakfast in the morning has choices for me as a diabetic that not all places take into consideration.
