Such a shame the road noise was loud all night and I did not sleep well because of it. This was the only mark down for the property. Realises something was off when I saw the packs of earplugs in the dresser. Otherwise it was a very nice place.

Handy base close to hospital
Good value motel very close to the hospital. Stayed in an apartment which was very clean and tidy with good facilities. It's located on a busy roundabout so there's a bit of road noise to contend with - earplugs are supplied!
