My son is in Grant hospital so I needed somewhere to stay close. Everything was good except parking and there was no remote to the TV.
1-night trip

4/10

Check in was friendly and quick but when we got to the room there was someone already occupying it and it was a mess. So very concerning that the front desk gave us keys to a room that someone else was in. Although they were apologetic, if I was the occupant of the room or if I was by myself I would have been very uncomfortable knowing someone was able to walk into my room
