There was no hot water during my stay. I complained to the front desk but it wasn’t fixed. I don’t know if it was due to the cold weather or not.

The location on was spot on, within walking distance to grocery store and two blocks from the capital. The property was new and stylish. The staff was very polite and friendly. The breakfast was really good and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

I have never left a rating on a hotel or motel stay because it either was not that great or just got by. I want to say this hotel went over and above from comfort all the way to friendly employees I plan to only use them from this moment forward.

Very clean, excellent staff, the breakfast is fully cooked hot breakfast with a lot of different options. The only thing is there is no vent in the bathroom, so very humid when you shower.
