There are many features upon on which to base a recommendation for this hotel, including price, good water pressure/heat, good air conditioning, good room size and proximity to a train station, and other nice things.
However, desk staff, when checking in after 9pm, was indifferent and inarticulate. They had shut off the automatic entry door, making entry difficult with luggage, until the security guard reluctantly opened the outer doors before leaving us to fend for ourselves with the inner set. The very nice lobby is filled with beautiful bouquets of flowers that, while lovely, permeated the room with a strongly cloying scent, too strong to enjoy. At the room (weirdly, the rooms are not numbered consecutively), our keycards worked well. Inside the room, the only thing lumpier than the mattress was the floor under the ancient, sticky carpet. Every bit of furniture appeared to pre-date the Reagan administration. Even the desk covering was embossed, showing the identity of another hotel at the capitol, that has probably been gone for decades. We ran out of tissues within a day, and no one at the desk would pick up the phone. Predicting that, I opened the toilet tank in order to adjust the non-operating flush handle. It flushed after I made the adjustment, but wouldn’t shut off after flushing.
If price and this location work for you, this place is adequate. But, if you’re accustomed to more contemporary accommodations and a responsive staff, pay more and stay elsewhere.
