Hospital Stay Accommodations

I’ve stayed at this location multiple times due its proximity to the hospital. It is always clean and quiet. This was my first trip eating breakfast, but it’s just a basic Grab and Go Breakfast of some omelettes, biscuits, sausage, muffins, cereal etc..

Tornado Warning without safe shelter

There were food crumbs on the floor next to the bed that were missed. Biggest complaint and concern is that there was a tornado warning at 2:15am. Signs posted in the hotel said if that were to happen to go to the lobby and we would be instructed where to seek shelter. So we did as we were told only to be left in the breakfast eating area surrounded by windows. Another guest questioned our placement and was told that was where we should go.
