    Value for money

The hotel's location in the center of everything, directly across the street from the state capital, was perfect for exploring the Capital district of the downtown. The cleanliness of the room and hotel facilities were impressive. The staff, from Jessica's helpful suggestions upon arrival to Sara's assistance with making plans for the day, were friendly and attentive. The valet service was also top-notch.
