“The Capitol Hotel's location is its undeniable strength, placing guests directly across from the State Capitol and within easy walking distance to dining and entertainment. While the downtown area itself can be quiet outside of business hours, this hotel provides a clean and comfortable base, with a surprising breakfast to start the day. Parking can be a consideration, but the attentive staff, particularly noted for going the extra mile, makes for a consistently pleasant stay that feels quite earned for the price.”
