Seriously.. I would never ever got to a maternity hospital. It's obviously professional, but they tend to stimulate your birth on many occasions, while it's really unnecessary.
I prefer a private, quiet and clean place, where I get all the attention. We have certified midwives and doulas, private clinics and even a great water-birth "home" - dzemdibasudeni.lv/dzemdbu-mja  unfortunately the info is in Latvian only, but both midwives speak English
