Location
8.6
Convenient for highway travel and close to the hospital; praised for easy access, though some mentioned traffic and that it is a bit far from the city centre.
Room Quality

Only overnight stay, pretty glad to check out.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable and accessible. Large room, modern amenities.

Cons:

We were treated very rudely by the bar staff. We sat for twenty minutes(my husband said on the tv he watched an entire set of tennis being played). Not one person greeted us, apologized because they were busy or even made eye contact.
