Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was kind. No parking included. Had to park in a pay lot adjacent to the hotel. Hotel room view of the college across the street was gorgeous. Hotel room itself leaves a lot to be desired. Outdated. Stained mattress. Peeling paint on bathroom ceilings. Ice machine in hallways broken and leaking so there were puddles all over and hallways carpet was saturated. Ice machine beeped for the entirety of our 24 hour stay and was right outside the door to our room. Breakfast was also included. Mediocre at best.

It was decent for a night. There was a lot of noise. If you like partying than its good for you but not for peace and quiet! The hotel needs more remodeling but it was pretty clean and the customer service was very nice and friendly.

The room was clean. I aways reclean. The breakfast was sub-par. Everything looked fresh but was not good. The potatoes were edible. People off the street go in for free breakfast.

Hotel is dated, tired and not particularly clean. Despite a lovely view of the State Capitol building, the area also felt run down and not safe. Although the breakfast was included it was very poor. I would not recommend staying here.
