This was an easy stay and close to medical amenities (the purpose of staying). One word of caution, the location on Google Maps and Waze is wrong. Its behind the condo complex it takes you to. Its also pretty convoluted getting there when there is traffic and construction. Someone from the organization should update the location. Thanks!
