Clean, comfy, great breakfast

The room was nicely updated and very clean. Beds were comfortable (pillows were quite puffy, but I prefer pretty flat ones. not a huge deal though. Breakfast was very good and I enjoyed experiencing their auto-pancake making machine. My only real complaint is the parking garage was too low for our jeep, but there was ample street parking.

Front desk kept looking at her phone and barely look up, says wait a minute and there's a line behind the counter. She really didn't have anything urgent on her phone just scrolling. One of the towels was ripped and torn. Why would cleaner put it in the guest room knowing its torn?? When we tried to call from our room, the front desk does not answer, phone just kept ringing. Also TV doesn't work, kept bufferring.

Front desk lady was very polite and courteous. The only thing that needs attention is that the toilet isn't properly attached to the floor. It moved every time one would sit down on it.

The room was clean but smelt a bit musty. Parking should be free! However, I did enjoy how convenient it was to walk to restaurants and my concert venue.
