The location was perfect, very walkable to restaurants and the Capitol. The hotel also had the cutest coffee shop and nice outdoor area to hang out. The staff were very accommodating. I appreciated them texting me recommendations for eateries and local breweries. Also, it smells so good!

I did not have any concerns about my stay.
