Very disappointed - user review
I expected quite a bit more for a 3.5 star hotel. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed, definitely not a 3.5 4 star quality. The restaurant is very overpriced, but good quality. They have valet service, if you can find the valet. My shower curtain looked like it had not been cleaned in years, with...

Can’t Complain - user review
I'm quite puzzled by all the poor reviews posted here. We were very happy with the hotel. Our room was clean and pleasant, the tv was fine. (No, not a 48 inch plasma screen, but perfectly ample for the size of the room.) The hotel has a good indoor pool/gym (an actual small lap pool, not a round spl...

Could use some help - user review
My wife and I loved the location of the hotel and the easy in/out of the parking lot. We were able to walk to most of the sites we were interested in and the restaurants we wanted.

Fairly Comfortable Hotel - user review
The beds were too small. When you book a room at a 4 star plus hotel, the smallest size bed should at least be queen size. We had full or double size and 2 people cannot comfortably sleep in this size bed. Traveler's tip on recreational activities.Close to Capitol building to watch the 4th of July f...
