The bed was quite stiff, the room we're in was very warm and unable to cool it. I was charged $70 to park in the ramp attached when the max at Mayo’s ramp is $12 a day. Offered no discount. Overall other than the convince of being attached to Mayo and the food at their restaurant our stay for my wife’s surgery was horrible. I would not recommend staying here.
