The Details:
Hotel Design Location and Layout:
Location (5.5/10 – Did not meet Expectation) – This one is based simply on purpose for being here. If you are using it as a base for visiting the nearby medical center, you will give it a high score. If for pretty much anything else, not so much. There are two negatives for non-medical related stays. One, while by no means horrible, the surrounding area is not the best, and that means that there's not really any dining or other activities close by. The hotel restaurant or DoorDash, etc are really only food options. Anything else means a drive. No public transit nearby that I noticed.
Hotel Lobby/Common Areas(7.5/10 – Met Expectations) – Clean, brightly lit (note that outside signage was either hard to see or missing)
Hotel Amenities(7.5/10 – Met expectations) – Pool, wifi, small (and as usual overpriced) but well stocked) Market. Did not check out gym or business center.
Room:
Design and Layout (7.5/10 – Met expectations) – Vintage 1990s/2000s Springhill design, but no problems with a classic. Separate commode area with its own tiny sink makes it a good choice for family along with the large sofa.
Comfort(8/10 – Met expectations) – Very comfortable bed.
Condition(8/10 – Met Expectations) – Toilet was a little beat up, noticeable nicks, etc. Added points in because room was SPOTLESS (which makes sense given the likely number of medical patients)
Amenities(7.5/10 – Met Expectations) – Microwave, small fridge, usual shampoo, etc.
Staff:
Front Desk/Service(8/10 – Met Expectations) – Friendly greeting, also was very patient with clueless person in front of me. Made sure to explain all amenities. Morning staff super cheerful.
Housekeeping (9/10 - Met Expectations) - Room was SPOTLESS. I mean SPOTLESS.

Internet Speed Test Results (from Room via Oookla): 3.5 mbps down, 9 up ?!? (I am guessing someone in the hotel is streaming like mad)
Family Friendly: Not specifically
Pet Friendly: No
Notes: Location aside, its a decent hotel. But the location can be a killer.
About my system - All scores are based on expectations, where 7.5 = met expectations, 10 is highly exceeded, and 1, well, something went horribly wrong. Expectations take into account a number of factors, such as price paid, brand, and location. They will vary greatly from the Waldorf Astoria to a Super 8. All scores are averaged and translated to a score out of 10. 1 Trip Advisor dot applies for each 2 points, so 4 dots is the most likely scenario.
