Charming Stay Near Medical Center

convenient location warm welcome clean room double room upgrade
The location proved convenient as it was near the hospital I needed to access. I received a warm welcome upon my arrival at the lodge. The room presented itself super clean and cozy and the surroundings remained quiet. I even received an upgrade to a double room and I appreciated the kind gesture.
The pillows were not comfortable. This small issue was not a major problem.

warm welcome convenient location
The lodge is very close to the hospital. It helped me a lot. i got a pretty warm welcome upon check-in, so i felt very comfortable!
very basic accommodation, communication with the host was difficult as she took days to respond! some window catches and door hinges were broken in the room, the heating was on when it was warm, the shower was weak and the pillows uncomfortable.
