This hotel has a beautiful location adjacent to the Capitol grounds which we very much enjoyed exploring. The restaurant on the main floor had a magnificent high ceiling and one of the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious and comfortable. There were however a number of things that were disappointing. The first night our shower did not drain properly, so we were given a different room. In that room the toilet consistently had trouble flushing, the safe would not work/turn on, and eventually that shower also would not drain either. The hotel ran out of Keurig regular coffee (we were restocked with decaf options), and simultaneously we were told the drip coffee maker was not working in the restaurant. We had to buy coffee at a nearby convenience store. When we went to use the lobby bathrooms, we found they also had the unfortunate flushing problems. And whenever we entered the lobby we were not greeted by the staff at the front desk although we were frequently the only ones around.

Missing something

The room was nice, and the bed was comfortable. The shower was a bit disappointing as the door would not stay closed and dripping water after shutting it off. It was luxurious, but it had some wear and tear in various spots. Room was super dark with neighboring building right up against the window. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
