    There was a note on the door that it was closed for renovations and to go next door to the Quality Inn. Kind of weird!

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Parking lot poorly lit and concern that car could have been vandalized. Overall needs to be revamped and updated.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    the sign says Best Western not Capitol Hotel. Parking lot is sketchy when you arrive late at night.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    One elevator out of service. Fridge in room not working. For breakfast you have to go out front door and walk next door to another hotel. Room was quiet and comfortable. Just the whole place needs to take care of the small issues. Would stay again

    Not one ice machine working except the top floor, of a 12-13 floor hotel…not worth the price

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Awesome

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    It was definitely not the most clean place and had an unpleasant odor. We had major plumbing issues as we could not even flush the toilet and had to use the lobby bathroom which also seemed to have issues. It really needs a massive renovation especially since the only elevator that worked was very small. Despite the condition of the hotel, the staff was extremely friendly in our many interactions with them whether it was waiting for the elevator at the same time or going to the front desk for something. We couldn’t have anything better to say about the staff but would not recommend the hotel itself.

Iwas given a room that had not been cleaned the second room did not have a microwave as listed they did bring one to my room afer i mentioned it to the front desk. The room was nice clean bed was comfortable.

    Awesome staff

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Awesome people. Made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Hotel was nice, ale were worried about the area when getting off the freeway. Everything was fine during our stay and the breakfast (even though it was at the neighboring hotel) was good!

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Room was okay. Tv remote did not work and had to have the maintenance replace batteries and re sync to the TV. Also a lightbulb was burnt out on the side table lamps. Elevator was sketchy but also looked like it was mid renovation. Overall an okay stay!

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Friendly service and good room.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Hotel is renovating so it’s lacking some things right now. No pool. Hot breakfast is next door at sister hotel. Did have coffee in the lobby tho. We had an issue with our AC leaking and when we told front desk, they were quick to change our room. Very responsive. Fairly comfortable stay. It was super quiet since fairly empty but we got a good deal on nightly rates and we were happy.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    No issues. Hotel needs some repairs made to it. Light bulbs out, elevator none of the button lights or floor your on displayed. But for the price it was worth a few button lights being out. Room was as described clean and nice.
