Replace furniture

Check in was great, breakfast was great, bed in room was good, other furnishings - chairs, sofa bed were horrible. There were multiple tears in sofa bed. Carpet had been replaced but not properly placed under baseboards. Horrible parking garage with only 1/3 of elevators working. No covered walkway from garage to hotel lobby.

The couch in the 1st room had a large dark stain when we walked in. Told front desk and they moved us to another room that had a musky mildew smell. That night in the 2nd room, we heard the room above us take showers and then got to listen to the water leak down through the wall and soak our carpet (hence the mildew smell). Moved to a third rom the next day. Front desk comped one day of parking only. Better than nothing but think they could have done more.
