Pros:

No satellite TV. The restaurant was not open for lunch and closed early for dinner. The restaurant was also closed on Sunday. The reception staff was not present. I had to ring a bell to get office staff to get hold of the reception staff to help me to book out.
In the evening, before I booked out, I had a drink in the restaurant (that was open). The service was not great. I had to get up and call the waiter from the kitchen counter to get service.
A male who was (what I was told by the female staff afterwards) known to cause problems before was allowed into the restaurant, and after my interaction with him, I had to ask to be moved to a new room because this person had my room number. I felt unsave.
I will never stay here ever again.

Comfortable with friendly reception
Pros:

Conveniently close to hospital

Cons:

It would be wonderful if book-out time can be 11:00. I had to wait until 12 to find out if patient is discharged more than once now
