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.

Good place, nice folks. Built not very soundproofed and you can hear noise and others in the hall and the elevator opening and closing. I was far down the hall from the elevator and it and the vending machine echoed down the hall. Could hear the next room's TV and conversations quite loudly. Final day early morning the next property over undder my window had a garbage truck making a horrible racket tipping garbage bins and slamming them up and down into the truck around twilight. Otherwise a very decent place and clean and modern.
