The staff were all very friendly and professional. The street location, hotel front and lobby did not make a superior impression, but the view of the capital building from rooms facing the park were exceptional.

Check-in was the worst - we were given an already-occypues room initially. Room just had a general "not clean" feel, and seeing the hole I'm the wall behind the bathroom light plugged with toilet tissue was kind of stunning.

The issue i had was the cleaning. There was dust build up on the furniture which i had to wipe and the bed sheets had too many stains. I had to ask for clean sheets and put them on the bed. The staff was great.

Location is perfect- view is great... just was not a fan of how our room was kept. Bugs in the drawers, yuck on the bedskirt, dust on everything and the air unit looked gross/broken
