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. Its on the second floor. No security. No security at all. No key card need to access any floor from their parking garage. Staff was friendly.

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.

The room smelled awful, like bleach and dirty feet. Check in took 35 minutes, and our hotel room door was broken. Parking cost $15 which is whatever. Breakfast was almost completely gone by 8:15am and they did not refill at all while we waited there for a half hour. The only good thing about this hotel was the location.
