Nice location. Nearby to the capitol and some nice restaurants. Rooftop pool was neat though the water didn’t look the cleanest. Parking is an additional cost to consider. I found it to be convenient and secure though expensive imo. Great neighborhood to walk around being from a small town. Onsite restaurant and very clean lobby. Overall good experience, staff was nice. Would stay again.

Food - Johnny rockets

Johnny rockets is terrible, service is awful and the food isn’t that great. You should definitely consider converting that into a continental breakfast for hotel guests.

There were delays checking in due to the IT system having problems. The receptionist, Gail, was clearly trying to cover for a manager who would not answer the phone, but her charm and helpfulness prevented a lower score.
