Excellent front line staff. Unfortunately the heating system im the room was not working and all other rooms were reserved. The staff did supply us with space heaters and very apologetic. We could have gone to another hotel but the close distance to the hospital was a key factor in staying. Also.. the continental breakfast was kind of scarce but you get what you pay for.
