We have stayed at the Aspen Suites across from St. Mary's.

Aspen Suites is very convenient. You'll have underground parking and can take your car in and out without any additional cost. The kitchenettes are very nice and well supplied. Your room will be very clean. The people who work at the front desk are so pleasant and helpful. I haven't been there in about a year so I don't know the status of their buffet. Before the pandemic Aspen Suites had a wonderful breakfast buffet and a light dinner buffet. We enjoyed their lounge area too.

I can't answer your questions about whether you can stay in the room with your husband or what to have on hand for food when he discharges as I don't know enough about those things. These are questions that can be answered by the St. Mary's staff and by your husband's care team. I'm hopeful that someone else can answer those questions for you too.

You are a wonderful spouse and caregiver for trying to figure out as much as you can before the surgery. Do you have any other questions I might be able to help you with?
