We walked to and from the hospital.

It wasn't until I was in the elevator headed to our room that said there could be a discount for people there for medical needs. 😧

Overall great value and more affordable than the locations in downtown where I needed to be. But it isn't bad at all with the free and friendly shuttle service.
