Unable to get served at on-site restaurant. One person taking orders, cooking and serving during busy time of day. The person's working at checking and in on-site bar area were very helpful. Coffee and water were not kept filled in lobby area. A little disappointed in this. Good location near 4th Street Live area. Parking location is across the street if you don't want to pay valet fee."
