Super friendly staff, and great rates.
We were there because of a serious illness in the family. The staff was incredibly nice and supportive. The rooms are clean, quiet, comfortable and well kept. The shuttle is easy to use to any hospital in the medical center, or it is short walk.

Weekend getaway
Me and my sister stayed here for a three day trip. We absolutely had a great time great. Every one that worked here that we came in contact with were so nice and helpful. Our room was so clean and nice. It’s one of the best hotels I’ve been to in a while. We will definitely be coming back. And another thing the beds were so comfortable. We slept like babies. It was awesome thank y’all so much.

Hotel is great, dine elsewhere
The food at the in-house restaurant was very meh. We had snacks and breakfast and just didn't enjoy them (standard breakfast fare). The room was amazing. The staff was even more amazing. Loved everything else!

Beds too soft. Not comfortable.
The beds were way too soft, so sleep was fairly nonexistent. Would have been nice to have a good night’s sleep before surgery the next morning.
