Let me qualify that when I say "like a vacation", I am referring to their maternity section. My daughter had her baby there last year and WOW things sure have changes since I had a child!
Their rooms were all private labor and delivery rooms and they were the best attended as any I have ever seen. My daughter's every whim was catered to and the medical care was topnotch. This hospital caters to families and encourages visitors. In-room meals are available for gusts and the food is amazingly good! It was like having room service--I didn't want my daughter to leave! In addition, there are was a small kitchenette just across the hall with unlimited juice, cookies and crackers.
When our little one finally made her arrival, she was treated like royalty--it made us feel like we were the only patients on the floor--which was definitely not the case. If you get to choose your labor and delivery hospital, then by all means go to Avista!
