The front desk agent was very nice. The room was amazing! I felt like royalty when I entered the room. It was beautiful. Very clean! We weren't able to stay for breakfast because we had to leave very early. The next time I'm in town, I will definitely stay here again.

I love this place. I have a particular room that is just really nice and it’s just a very comfortable place to be in, but of course one of the best things about it is the man at the front desk in the morning. He is a delight such a sweet individual. The ability to be able to not use my car and just walk down to Capitol. Village is phenomenal and I feel like I lived there because I go down there so often. If I had my druthers and I wish I did I could buy a place out near there, but these getaways are nice as well because I can do a nice drive and road trip trips are very high on my list of fun.
