The Capital Suites Hotel

What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Capital Suites Hotel draws praise for its downtown convenience and large suites, but recurring complaints focus on unreliable air conditioning and dated interiors, along with confusing, paid parking and occasional elevator problems.

Guests frequently highlight friendly front-desk staff and comfortable beds. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with some spotless stays and others reporting mold, stains, and maintenance oversights. On-site dining is generally tasty but not free for breakfast, sometimes limited, and service can be inconsistent. Expect a spacious, centrally located stay with variable upkeep and comfort.

Excellent trip for a long weekend! The hotel staff was helpful in getting us some extra toiletries, towels, and dishes when we ordered out. I usually stay at this location when I’m in town and brought some family up this time. We enjoyed our stay and had a great experience. We will be back in the spring!

The elevator from the parking garage to the lobby (parked on 3rd floor; lobby is on 7th) was slow. I came in late after dinner, and the elevator WOULDN’T WORK. I called the front desk twice and after about 15 minutes of being “trapped” in the parking garage at 11:30 pm, your desk employee came down on the elevator and picked me up to go to the lobby. This was a safety issue, and your equipment should work consistently. I don’t expect this from a nice hotel.

Positive: 1/2 block from Palace Theatre. Large nicely furnished and clean suites. Staff was very nice, even comping us free waters when we returned from the concert we attended. Negative: There is a general lack of exterior signage. We passed it twice, then finally figured it out by matching a Google Street view to the building. Equally unclear was where the parking garage entrance was. While there were several garages, none said garage for Capitol Suites guests. The hotel is marginally ADA accessible. Access to the elevator in the parking garage had a curb. The curb was short, but hard to see when exiting to the garage. I ended up falling and twisting my ankle because with wrangling the door and luggage, I didn't see it. It seems wheelchair users would have to enter from the front ground floor, but there is no pull-up or unloading area. No information on hotel amenities, where the ice machine is, or local nearby restaurants or attractions was handed out or available in the room. I don't know if theu provide room service.

We were stuck in an elevator for 35 minutes. Fire Dept had to respond to get us out. Hotel said they would comp my parking and I told them I had already paid for it and they told me I hadn’t. Also breakfast was suppose to be included and hotel stated that it wasn’t. Why am I paying for services thru your company and they are not being honored at the hotel????

No real complaints… the entrance from the street to the lobby is kinda confusing and cumbersome. Same from the parking garage to the lobby. The windows in the room were horribly dirty on the outside but there’s no real view of anything anyway. The property is dated and what not but overall it was ok.

Just shy of $250 a night, Hilton should be embarrassed. The room smelled of musty mold. Shelves missing large gapping smelly area around fridge. Furniture chipped and trashy looking. Walls inside & outside of room marked up unkept. 1 small bottle of shampoo for your shower. No soap. Water was cold, never got warm. Only trash can was in bathroom. Our room was a sweet with a separate sitting area/kitchenette. We used a bag of our own for trash. Do not waste your money at this dump.

Room was dirty - it was if the cleaning staff had only half finished cleaning room. No linens provided and requests to provide linens were met with anger. I had to make my own bed. Sink would not drain. When maintenance came up, we had to switch rooms because a flood ensued. I called three times to ask for a late checkout - 2 weeks before our stay, at check-in and one day before check-in. We are told 3 times to ask morning of and it would be granted. We called at 6AM and they told us rudely that it would not be provided. We were told contradictory information about parking from each staff member we asked. This hotel is outdated and not worth the money we were charged. Please do not stay here - truly not worth the cost.

It was nice. The view from the room was beautiful. My only complaint is it wasn’t clean. On the surface things were clean but there were places that were dusty and the tables were greasy. Also there were things in our room that were broken prior to us entering the room. Nothing too concerning. Aside from the minor stuff, we had a lovely stay. Staff were kind and the food and drinks were very good.

This is a rather old hotel, but it's in good condition, and it was very clean. Where I would urge some improvement - the HVAC/Air Conditioning. It was /very/ warm in our room when we came in, and we were able to cool it down to be more comfortable but if it had been hotter it would have been uncomfortable.

This hotel leaves much to be desired... Although it was pretty much clean, there were things that desperately needed to be fixed in our room - the lock on the door was hanging by one screw, lights were burnt out, the bathroom door wouldn't stay shut, the hand towel rack came clean off the wall, there were paint streaks on the mirror... Not to mention the broken elevator. I had called a few weeks prior to staying and asked for late checkout, I got told that they could make that happen for 2:00 PM and would note it in my reservation. At check-in, I was told, "If I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone." So, my friend and I had to check out at noon and wait until 8:00 PM for our flights. Fun. Was it an okay stay...? Sure... But we won't be staying again.

We paid for a city view and got an alley used as storage. We were so low that there was no view. If I had known that I wouldn't have paid extra for the view. Either way the windows were so dirty that you can barely see outside anyway. We didn't eat at the hotel because it was too expensive. Do not go off of the roompictures because it doesn't look like that. There was one chair at the table and a desk chair that broke without even sitting on it. We had to take turns eating. The toilet made a horrible noise every time it was flushed and the water wouldn't turn off. maintenance came and fixed part of it but the noise stayed. The tub didn't have a plug and with kids that is a necessity.The staff was kind and helpful but the building needs and upgrade! We have stayed at much cheaper hotels that were way nicer. Over all we will not stay there ever again. Not worth the money.

Our room was spacious with an adjacent suite, kitchenette, and bathroom with an amazing strong hot shower! Special thanks to the desk staff who were friendly and took care of all our needs.

The hotel staff at check-in were GREAT and very helpful and knowledgeable. We were satisfied with the hotel bar staff. She was on the phone the entire time we were in the bar and seem aggravated when we order because it interrupted her conversation. She didn't have out her phone but was on her earpods. In fact, we specifically asked when the hotel bar closed and she indicated that it closed at 11pm. We returned to the hotel at 10:15pm timeframe and the bar was closed. The staff at the front desk said she decided to close early which was unfortunate as that was one of the amenities we searched for when booking. The card key reader in the elevator in the parking garage was also not working and the water temperature was barely warm. There was also some weird noise coming from the toilet when flushed and some mold in the tub. We did not bring it these issues to the attention of the staff though as we wanted to spend our time enjoying our trip.
