Nice hotel, but the room was very small. Our room, I don't remember what our room number was, had an awesome view of the capitol. We were celebrating our 10,000 day anniversary since we started dating :) We ate at Naples 15 which was delicious and was just a quick walk around the block. Eno Vino, located on the top floor of the hotel, was a nice stop for fancy drinks. We had the terrace to ourselves and it was a beautiful night! When we arrived to our room, the curtains were open with the sun beating in and it was almost 80 degrees in there! We had to leave and let it cool down with the curtains closed because it was too hot to be in the room. When we returned later, it was comfortable. Valet was pricey. We parked in the ramp at the end of the block and saved $10.

Beautiful view of the Capitol from our room. The room was comfortable and clean. The location of the hotel is great. We walked to our concert at the Breese Stadium. A short walk to the market and State Street. Parking was $35. It’s a bit pricey. Very nice hotel in an awesome location.

checked out and talked to the front desk staff about paying for valet parking and was told it was taken care of and added to my bill. Later that day I received a text saying I needed to take care of my parking bill, and after calling back I was told the desk people can't do that, the Valet people have to. You need to instruct the staff about this as it was a big pain and quite annoying for me. I will be watching for double billing on my card just to make sure I don't get billed twice.

The location is the best point for this hotel, the room smelled weird (like bathroom odor) all over, the key card was pretty faulty, and it was hard to get inside the room the first time, you gotta be patient and try many times, same happened at the elevator.

The property and the desk staff were great. Unfortunately, my new travel bag (minus contents) went missing from my room during/after cleaning. Contents were laid out neatly on towel in the bathroom (not by me) and I was left with no bag to pack them back up. I reported this to the desk staff, and was given 2 drink tickets for my troubles as they "investigated". I have yet to hear back from anyone regarding this.

The buffet was not well attended to. There are two stations that can only be served by attendants but usually no one is around to help with them. One thing that would be easy to fix: the utensils for self serve are horrible and frustrating to use- a little tiny fork for the cornichons and a knife for the mustard? And you fish everything out of jars. Just tacky and poorly thought out. The tongs are slippery. Just poorly designed all the way around
