Fix the Flyer
Everything was fine except the flyer that stated the weekend breakfast hours were to end at 11:00. They actually closed at 10:30 am. Also, the coffee service at the entrance to the Bistro were removed immediately after breakfast and not replaced. Most higher end hotels that I stay at leave a coffee service available most of the day.

Our stay was OK. This was the most I have ever spent on a room. While the room was nice, the toilet seat was broken and there appeared to be some mold in the shower. Also I may have missed it but I dont recall seeing anywhere that parking would cost $40( $29.99 to park plus $10 in parking taxes) It was ok but I would look for somewhere else to stay next time.
