Loved our stay

We had an upgrade because the first room had a broken toilet sit. We didn't ask for it, the hotel just gave it to us. We booked on line and paid before we got there so they offered $1.00 a day parking. We also had free breakfast which was wonderful. Great start to our day in the city. Loved our stay.
