The staff was wonderful. Rooms were spacious and clean. I loved the location of the hotel so close to the things I needed to get to. I enjoyed my walk on the Capital grounds which was literally just across the street.

Exellent room. We arrived at 3 pm and were told that we could check in if we paid 50 USD (!) for early check in. Opted to wait until 4 pm which was the check in time.

This hotel is very well situated for the Capital and downtown -- it's not a local neighborhood, if that's what you're looking for. The room and bathroom were spacious and soundproofed.
The gentleman at check-in and check-out was very polite and helpful.
The rooms could use some updating electronically -- more charge points for phones, airpods, etc. would be useful. Would not recommend for a business traveler until they update that aspect, but for a vacation traveler, it was find.

I was only there for one night with my husband. Clean, spacious room with a well-appointed and immaculate bathroom. The fridge, microwave, safe and coffee service were tucked away in a cabinet. Very comfy bed and super quiet. We were in town for a show at the National which was in walking distance so we didn’t eat at the restaurant (we didn’t get back in time; it had closed) but the bar was very nice and the bartender can make anything you want! Beautiful, old, historic hotel. Would stay again.
