"Quality stay, comfortable room, polite staff"

8.0

Stayed to be near Riverside Hospital for early open heart surgery. Room clean and comfortable service was attentive and polite. My wife and I were pleased with the accommodations and not requiring an hour+ 15min commute on a stressful surgery day was a boon. Next stay I hope to have the time to utilize the gym, pool/hottub, and breakfast. Would recommend to friends and family.
