"We only stayed one night and had to leave early in the morning. But the room was very clean as was the lobby. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We had our dogs with us and it was no issue. It’s nice when a pet friendly place is so clean. The area around the hotel was nice as well. Wish we’d had time for dinner at the Capital Grill next door. We would stay here again and hopefully have a little more time to enjoy the surrounding area next time."
