    I didn't like the breakfast and a friendly reminder to turn up the room thermostat at checkin would have been nice.

    The breakfast contained nothing but breads and sweets and yogurt. steam table of eggs and meats would be nice.

    1. Had to wait for the desk person for check-in. No one on duty, was busy on a different floor. 2. Street-side door wasn't opened with a card. Our appointment was for 6:30 am and I wasn't needed for 4-5 hours and went back to the hotel at 7 am...the front door was locked and not going to be unlocked until 10am ... The staff did come and open the door to let me in. I showed my room card before anyone moved.

    Location from St Mary's hospital.

    Expensive, and guy at desk looked like a hoodlum. And he was rather blunt/rude with me when i pointed out i was overcharged from what my reservation price was on Booking. Not a good rep for his place of employment.

    I got rest. (Kinda why ya stay in a motel, right?) Nice big tub.

    The breakfast was limited. The juice machine had fermented juice in the bottom and fruit flies swarmed out of it. When we booked we were under the impression that the hotel had a pool, but that was the Aspen Suites next door. It seemed a little misleading.

    Our room was clean and efficient. It was perfect if looking for a one night stay prior to hospital check in.

    We stayed for 2 nights, and around 9:30 pm, after my mother took a shower, the tub was not draining. We let it sit as we got ready for bed and noticed around 10 pm that it was still not draining so I could not shower. We called the front desk, who dropped off a plunger for us (to fix ourselves). One pump of the plunger and yellow and brown matter started coming up through the tub drain, including more water that smelled foul. We told the front desk, and they moved us to a non-smoking room down the hall, which reaked of cigarette smoke on the towels and shower curtains. It was also a joining room, with only one single, thin door so we could hear the couple next to us seemingly wrapping presents with cellophane until just before midnight. With an early rise, we decided to just deal with the smell by closing the bathroom door with most linens in there. In the morning, I informed the front desk associate (who ironically had an unlit cigarette in his hands at the front desk) of the smoke smell, and how we were in town for my mother's stage 4 lung cancer procedure. He had nothing better to say than "oh okay, you're all set for checkout then?". This hotel was incredibly convenient for our unique early morning, but I have never had a worse customer service experience. I've stayed at dilapidated roadside motels during cross-country road trips in the middle of nowhere that had more supportive staff than this hotel. When we checked in, the front desk person couldn't have been more than 17 years old and didn't know the most essential things about the facility. We asked for a plate to eat our take out with, and he recommended that we go to the grocery store. I found the continental breakfast room, and they had styrofoam plates available. Quite a simple thing to know, in my opinion and wasn't a big deal until we dealt with the other inconsiderate employees.

    The location was very convenient for our early morning report time at the St. Mary's hospital across the street. We were grateful to not have to deal with parking at 5 am and could just walk across the street.

    Very noisy, you can hear everything your neighbor is doing and when they come and go due to door slams. I my case neighbor was talking loud until midnight and started back up at 7 am. After sitting bedside with a sibling on the hospital for 9 hours I just want peace and quiet and rest.

    King bed was super comfortable and it was close to St Mary’s hospital
