"This hotel was everything I love in a hotel: the room was spacious with a large desk and work area, it was clean, Keurig in the room, refrigerator/freezer (with ice!), dog-friendly, every person we interacted with was welcoming and helpful, and the location was perfect, right across from a beautiful park (check out sculptures, gorgeous!) and the state capitol building."
