We were so tired we didn't care. Before the trip to hospital saturday we told them and was told it would be fixed in about 20 minutes, but when we got back still no lights. When I told staff AGAIN it was fixed in a few minutes. The room was extremely clean. There was not a lot of noise. Beds little hard. All in all it worked for a weekend family medical emergency.
