Best Western Plus Sovereign Hotel on New Scotland is 5 minutes' walk at $110 with a medical rate around $95. Both fill up during major surgery weeks; book two weeks ahead when possible.
Slightly further, better amenities
Homewood Suites Wolf Road (12 minutes' drive) at $135 has kitchens, which matter for longer stays. Residence Inn Airport is $125 with kitchens. Hampton Inn Downtown is $135 and 8 minutes' drive. For a partner or family member staying weeks, the extended-stay hotels with real kitchens beat the closer hotels on cost and sanity.
