First room water in shower/tub didn't work. You have to request service if you want fresh towels. We had to go to desk for some. We ran out of the half roll that was in the room and had to go to desk to request that. You could hear anytime any of the surrounding rooms ran water or flushed toilets. They seem to randomly charge prices, but it was close to the hospital which is what we needed.

I’m a traveling nurse: property was very close to hospital. Less than a mile. Couple down sides: one, towels in the room had a lot of hair stuck in them and the room was half ass cleaned. Shower had old soap scum all over it and the floors were obviously not cleaned. Two, they allow guest to check in at 1am. Folks checking in next to me were very loud, rude, and obnoxious; woke me up out of a dead sleep and continued being loud and noisy until 4am. Other than that, not a bad weeks stay. Bring your own towels, linens and blankets…and probably a set of earplugs.

Depends on what you want
Decent beds, very friendly staff. Bath a little dirty. For a game, for a couple of guys just looking to crash, fine. Wouldn't bring a wife though.
