Decent location, under renovation

Its an old hotel currently under renovation so the rooms are pretty outdated and worn. Not the best neighborhood at night but during the day its fine. Right across from small park and original Capitol location. Short walk to a few cute shops and the water. No fast food anywhere in the little downtown which we loved. Uber is quick to deliver there and the capital building is super close. Check with staff about cooling system updates before booking in the summer. Our room was 75 degrees in February and wouldn't cool so we had to leave the balcony door open. In the summer that wouldn't work.

I booked this hotel online. It was in a somewhat convenient location for my work. It is a downtown, multi-story old, poorly maintained in a bad area. The only parking was in the rear and that was a large, old asphalt lot adjacent to what looked like industrial businesses. The room was in a corner. The desk lamp was missing a light bulb, there were only two hangers and the towels were thin and of poor quality. I asked the clerk to change my room and she refused. Avoid this place.

I had to change room immediately because the first room was an accessible room was in the worst shape, with broken door, drawers, the height of the clothes rack was too low, and the room smelled. the second room its bathroom had some material on the door; the shower curtain was torn, the door wouldn't shut. I wasn't told that it was on a green housekeeping so the room wasn't even tidied in my 3 night stay.

Look, if you want adequate accommodations, this hotel has what you need. But if you require something really nice, this is not it. What's to like: Parking, walking distance to great coffee and lovely view of Capitol Lake and the Capitol Dome, fast Internet, nice TV, lots of hot water in the shower, plenty of outlets and decent coffee ready at 6. You get an iron and ironing board and a safe, a tiny coffee pot with coffee and tea packets and the usual toiletries. What not to like: the entry smells like cigarette smoke as does the entire main floor, homeless people gather at the front of the hotel, the toilet doesn't have the paper strip that confirms it's been sanitized, the bathtub surface is completely peeling. It feels shabby and not up to my cleanliness standards. Breakfast is not for the health conscious except for the apple and banana, but there's granola, cheerios, yogurt, etc. The dining area is freezing in February. Bottom line: it is convenient and has what you need.
