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.
