The property turned out to be just a place to sleep after appointments at the U of I hospital. It was quiet and that was the only positive. Parking was awful and confusing and front desk made us feel as an inconvenience and the communication on how to get to our room from the parking garage was not there. Like I said it served its purpose but will not be returning.
