After two long nights at the hospital, we jist needed somewhere to crash for the night. The hotel was close and affordable. The young man who greeted me created "magic" (his words) by getting me a room on the ground floor to avoid stairs for us. He offered snacks (free) and we walked in to an immaculate room. Bed was comfortable, room was quiet and we slept.like.babies. You wont be disappointed!
