Not as advertised
Pros:

Location near hospital

Cons:

1. Paid in full before arrival but took a $200 security payment, no mini bar but still said security payment was required. Nothing said about this when booked.
2. Supposed to come with breakfast and advertised that there are breakfast packs but there were actually any. So missed breakfast due to early flight.
