[quote=Anonymous]The fee Sibley charges would also be a lot less irritating if the private rooms were actually comfortable.  Instead, when I delivered in December, we got a room that was so tiny that we had to move the baby's bassinet in front of the door to the room and squueeezzeee by it in order to access the bathroom (as the only place the bassinet would fit was immediately in front of the bathroom door). There was nowhere to put our suitcase that was both (1) easy to access and (2) out of the way -- instead, we either had to have it lying on the floor right next to the bed/in front of the husband's couch/bed thingy, or shoved out of the way so that we could actually stand/walk around the room but impossible to get to without a lot of hassle.  The room did not get much natural light.  Between the size, the dimness, and the uncomfortable beds (the bed/couch thingy for the husband was hard and cramped, and the constant noise/movement from the anti-pressure-point hospital bed I was on kept me up all night) we were dying to leave after 12 hours.

Incidentally, we couldn't -- pediatrician wouldn't discharge our daughter, who was thriving, because I "was a first time mom" and because "everyone should stay in the hospital as long as their insurance would permit" (accompanied by a digression about how she thinks it is disgraceful insurance only provides for 2 days).  When we finally got out of there, we felt like we'd been sprung from prison.
