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.

The hotel needs a renovation badly. The rooms are in a bad shape: scratches on the walls and furniture, bad smell, old towels, mold and rust in the bathroom, malfunctioning air conditioning, and super-dirty windows. The photos presented on Expedia are deceiving. And the four-star/ excellent rating is a BIG FAT LIE! Expedia deserves a ONE-STAR rating for intentionally or unintentionally misleading its customers. Such a shame...

Clean but otherwise over priced

Overall it was fine. Based on the previous reviews I was expecting more. The food in the restaurant was terrible. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The rooms itself were ok. Clean so that’s really all that matters but for the price I was maybe expecting more.

Anyone with sensitivity to mold - do not stay here. There were tons of very large spores that appeared to be mold growth on all of the windows. Even if it wasn’t harmful, it is very uncomfortable to stay in a room with that appearance. It looked disgusting. Also the shower floors are made out of a plastic material and are porous They have become dingy and dirty looking. The once white towels have been reused so much they look gray. The guy who checked us in was very polite and attentive. The guy at the desk in the morning, just stared at us and didn’t even say good morning after we spoke to him first. If you choose to stay here, please be safe.

The staff was wonderful. The dead bolt didn't work on our room, one light in the bathroom flickered so we removed it for safety, and unfortunately we weren't able to use the dining area one of the nights we stayed. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay. We would stay there again if we needed to in the future.
