Very good as it was close to the hospital and made having this home away close to us.
Pros:

Location was great
Foyer area beautiful
Lift quick
Room was great

Cons:

The property was great and all staff were great until the last day Ella who was on the front desk was extremely rude when asked a question not welcoming or helpful short answers and grumpy rude when asked about extending parking time. The other 2 ladies on Friday and Saturday I spoke with at front desk were very good and lovely welcoming and helpful, sorry I didn’t get their names.
