There was quite a bit of repetition from book to book, so the omnibus format may not be the best way to read these. I will continue with the series but after a break.

They were an old, wise and humble race, O‘Mara concluded; intensely humble. So much so that they tended to look down on other races who were not so humble as they.
The alien occupying O‘Mara‘s sleeping compartment weighed roughly half a ton, possessed six short, thick appendages which served both as arms or legs and had a hide like a flexible armor plate.

Hospital Station (1962)
An interspecies hospital in space and - unusually for SF- dedicated to peace. Thrills come from solving medical mysteries, occasional first contact and, rarely, the potential threat of intergalactic war. Written in the more imaginative 60s (maybe) aliens are non-humanoid with an innovative classification system
Suspense is often maintained by non-communication which in hindsight appears melodramatic
