Disappointing place.

This hotel as a whole it tired, tatty and falling apart where it’s not broken already.
The room was not particularly clean including the dirty sock left from a previous guest. The bath was peeling and there was mould on the walls. The bath tap dripped the entire stay. The glass lamp was broken and the room so cold that we had to get a heater from reception.
Breakfast consisted of coffee/tea, fruit juice, apples, cereal, milk, bread and bagels. Nothing hot unless you used a very slow toaster. The dining room was cold and unwelcoming with several bulbs missing from the lights.
The staff were helpful and mainly smiley but are limited as to what they can do in the circumstances.

Terrible. I was worried about my safety being in a situation i had never been in before.

First off the hotel is not what the same hotel in the images very deceiving. Secondly, I asked for a refund due to a very unsatisfactory stay. The SWAT team was there and set off Flash Bombs and having the K-9 squad arrive at 3 AM my first night staying there. They refused this refund saying “Nothing Happened” It was on the news and turns out isn’t the first time the SWAT team has had to show up at this hotel. My safety was put at risk and they said “Nothing Happened”. I don’t believe the SWAT team and K-9 squad would have been there if “Nothing Happened”. The hotel manager Alana thinks She has the right to tell you how safe you felt in a high stress situation. She said I paid for this kind of experience. I was heavily pregnant during my stay so it was a health risk for me to be in a high stress situation. The SWAT team has visited this location more than once! Thirdly there is a homeless camp right next to the parking garage where they have easy access to guest vehicles due to giant openings facing the train tracks where the camp is located. It doesn’t seem like a very safe location and I definitely won’t be staying here ever again. If you value your safety you won’t stay here either.
Parking is one of their amenities but they claim it isn’t apart of their hotel. It’s their parking garage but they have no control over it.

Its an old hotel currently under renovation so the rooms are pretty outdated and worn. Not the best neighborhood at night but during the day its fine. Right across from small park and original Capitol location. Short walk to a few cute shops and the water. No fast food anywhere in the little downtown which we loved. Uber is quick to deliver there and the capital building is super close. Check with staff about cooling system updates before booking in the summer. Our room was 75 degrees in February and wouldn't cool so we had to leave the balcony door open. In the summer that wouldn't work.

Hotel is in need of update and there was no heat in the lobby. But the room was very clean with a great view of the lake.

Ehh - its okay. The water from the shower is wild! It doesn’t matter which direction you turn the handle, it can’t decide! Hot then cold then hot then cold! Wild ride!

Excellent location
