There was a terrible chemical smell in the room that an air filter placed inside near the window wasn't fixing. The jacuzzi looked like something you'd find at a dilapidated Motel 6. The people working there though were very friendly.

This is a great place to stay if you have a loved one at cottage Hospital. I was able to walk from the hotel to the hospital within minutes. I could also walk to the Live Oak Café to have dinner. I never had to pay for parking because I never had to move my car. The bed was very comfortable and the staff was courteous.
