We were there for VA hospital appointment. Great location just walked across the street. Noise from outside and hallway was disturbing, bed was comfortable pillows need to be updated. Front desk clerk did not greet us had to ask her what we needed to check in. Lots of options in that area will probably try another location next trip.
