Very convenient to the hospital complex and great restaurant options within walking distance from the motel. Convenient parking, attractively furnished, clean rooms, and lovely, helpful staff. We had to be at the hospital very early (5:30 am, Yikes!) so we didn't have a chance to have breakfast there either time we stayed there, but the breakfast offerings look good and the dining area was spacious and convenient to the rest of the motel.
