The Capitol Hotel
Location cant be beat. Literally across the street/park from the State Capital. Walking distance to restaurants. Rooms are large and clean. Shower is great. Night manager went out of his way to solve a problem. Parking was excellent! We would definately stay here again.

Very reasonably priced with dining options nearby. Staff were very nice. Check-in and checkout were very easy. Unfortunately, I did not know how to adjust the thermostat and made my night uncomfortable.
