My
mother
was
recently
admitted
to
the
ICU
in
Hillingdon
Hospital
with
a
very
serious
and
sudden
illness.
My
father
and
I
do
not
live
in
London
(he
lives
in
Canada
and
I
live
in
Southampton)
and
we
picked
The
Red
Lion
Hotel
as
it
was
within
walking
distance
to
the
hospital
and
had
immediate
availability.
It
was
a
choice
made
at
random
from
a
google
search
but
we
could
not
have
made
a
better
decision.
My
mother’s
condition
was
very
uncertain
and
over
the
next
3
weeks
there
were
many
ups
and
downs.
Every
few
days
my
father
was
due
to
check
out
and
had
to
ask
the
front
desk
if
he
could
stay
a
couple
more.
I
shuttled
back
and
forth
between
London
and
Southampton,
sometimes
on
my
own
and
sometimes
with
2
small
children,
booking
rooms
last
minute
each
time
as
updates
came
in
from
the
doctor.
Through
all
of
this
the
entire
staff
were
incredibly
kind
and
compassionate,
and
more
than
accommodating
of
our
constantly
changing
plans.
They
went
above
and
beyond
to
make
a
very
difficult
time
as
easy
as
possible,
especially
for
my
father
who
was
so
far
from
home.
The
proximity
to
the
Red
Lion
Pub
was
an
added
bonus,
after
long
afternoons/evenings
spent
visiting
the
ICU
we
did
not
need
to
think
about
where
to
find
something
to
eat,
the
pub
was
right
next
door
with
excellent
food
and
service.
I
highly
recommend
a
stay
at
the
Red
Lion
Hotel,
whether
for
family
holidays
(the
very
large
family
room
with
bunk
beds
was
a
big
hit
with
the
2
and
5
year
olds)
or
for
visits
to
in-patients
at
Hillingdon
Hospital.
My
sincerest
thank
you
to
the
entire
staff.
