great room and fab breakfast

clean roomfriendly managerexcellent coffeeslow check-in
the manager, matt, was cute and friendly. the breakfast was excellent and the latte coffee tasted fantastic. the location was great for seeing local events. i will recommend and stay again.
i received a link for a speedy check-in that i completed. then, i had to stand for about ten minutes for the only person to finish their call before getting a key. a better system is needed, in my view.
