The Capitol Hotel

The Capitol Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Perfectly located and the staff is amazing. I can’t tell you enough how important the front desk staff is, and this staff was so nice and accommodating. We’ve stayed at other hotels for more money and a famous name, and have been disappointed by their lack of customer service. This hotel is tier 1. Highly recommend! Great staff, thank you!"
