Our room was spacious and really comfortable, you can tell they put thought and care into the decor and room design. Front desk staff were very personable. Also a bonus, within walking distance of the capitol building and a lot of great restaurants.

Hotel very smart and clean. We appreciated the good value breakfast and the friendliness of all the staff. One small issue we had with our room was eventually resolved and a suitable gesture made as compensation. Would recommend this hotel for both its location and amenities.
