I would say they are the mecca of hospitals and honestly we couldn't be happier with the staff, surgeons and everything it has to offer! Every time I see a "Michigan Difference" commercial I get goosebumps and my eyes well with tears... i think this hospital is truly amazing....
Their cafeteria has so many choices and amazing food - that is important - a girl's gotta eat! Plus my father-in-law LOVES hospital food... although this is more upscale than what he is used to at Beaumont. They have all sorts of stations and grab 'n go's...it can be overwhelming really.
They have a hotel located inside the hospital for families called the Med Inn.
Its a very small hotel with only 30 rooms but its conveniently located inside the hospital and has reduced rates compared to area hotels. They assist about 950 people with their lodging needs each month. We were able to check it out on our last appointment...since there were no photos online I really was interested to see what a hotel inside a hospital could look like. It was converted patient rooms after all... but to our surprise they had just remodeled 2 months ago from their throw back 80's style. The rooms are really nice, clean and have either 1 or 2 queen beds, mini fridge, microwave, flat screen TV and spacious bathroom. They allow families to book up to 2 rooms for the duration your loved one is in the hospital. I already booked one for Sam's parents (Bonnie & Fred) and one for myself. Since surgery will be so early we decided to head up there the night before - that way I already have a room and don't need to worry about checking in and 5:30am will come very quickly.
