Would never stay here again

Not ever staying here again. The bed is so uncomfortable and hard, that would rather sleep on the floor. Rooms and bathroom were small. Had to unplug the HVAC unit bc there was no way to turn it off. Not enough parking in the underground garage they have, which has the tightest spiraling ramp anyways. Breakfast was scheduled until 9am, but they ran out of everything by 830-845am. The only positive thing was our view of the capital building out of our window, which was pretty.

First room smelled heavily of marijuana, floor was sticky and barhroom ceiling was leaving. When I asked for another room Iwas told they were sold out. However, when I requested a discount instead, a room magically became available. The underground garage is small and difficult to maneuver large vehicles not to mention it's need for repair.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was very nice and acompassing. Especially for NYE. Parking is very reasonable. $15. Rooms are tidy and have a fridge and microwave. Which was a major plus. Would have liked to see a bed skirt on the beds. Something about seeing a box spring irks me a bit. A little outdated but good for the price.

You get what you pay for

We were greeted by a very friendly staff. The lobby was clean and comfy looking. The breakfast was also very good, lots of choices. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Our backs are still recovering. There was hair all over the bed and bathroom. The water was hot. But the plumbing left a lot to be desired. Toilets didn’t flush properly. Over all, you get what you pay for. An inexpensive hotel close to all the action.

Decieved, no charging point, no amenities

First of all, there is NO ev charging station at this location. The hotels.com listing deceived me. I asked the hotel and they said they don't have it, so no choice. Secondly, the tv channels said 'no signal' ended using phone whole night. Thirdly there is no 'game room' with pingpong as shown in the listing. Nothing of that sort, deceived again. The front desk person said the game room has been removed long ago. The only best thing is the breakfast and there is a park just outside. The hotels.com should do whatever they should to correct this misinformation on their site.
