The hotel looks better in photos than in person; it's very old and smells really bad. The carpets, no matter how much carpet deodorant they use, still stink. The beds are so old that my husband almost fell off at night, the sheets made us itch, and the bathroom is super tiny. There's an old TV, and outside the place, there's a dump of furniture. One door doesn't work, and the breakfast is terrible. The train wakes you up in the middle of the night, we had a terrible night.

Our room facing the park was clean and comfortable and the King sized bed provided a restful night. The hotel staff was responsive to our request for an additional comforter and the breakfast included with our package had more options than we expected. We would definitely stay at the Capitol Hotel again.

The air conditioner wasn't cleaned, so the air was too stuffy, and the water in the bathtub didn't drain, so I moved to another room, but it wasn't much different there. The breakfast was poor, and it was so noisy that I couldn't sleep well.

The room in general was nice and pretty clean. The bathroom could have been cleaner. The bathmat was very stained and the edges of the floor were gross. The mattress was a little to hard for my liking. Overall it's a decent hotel and I would stay there again.

Husani, the clerk was incredible. I was in line to check in for over 30 mins. Every person who used Expedia had problems. I had a confirmation from Expedia for a double deluxe, Expedia actually made the reservation for a single. The guy behind me had a confirmation for that night, 9/6, on his phone, Expedia made his reservation for 9/20. Other people had confirmation emails that didnt match the hotel's reservations. The first thing Expedia was asking everyone who called was whether they wanted to cancel the scam "confirmed reservation" (NO REFUND) and make a new one at a higher price--- for a room that wasn't even available. The clerk was absolutely awesome and did everything he could to accommodate everyone, even upgrading rooms. He told all of us that this is a chonic problem w/Expedia and they dont tell people there is no refund. Finally, the Expedia customer rep I spoke to said he could do nothing to solve THEIR "mistake" BUT he would have someone able to resolve their problem call me. Its been 25 hrs., no call yet to solve yesterday's problem. The hotel clerk Husani was great, Expedia is running a scam.

I found the property to be not well kept, didn’t feel or particularly look that clean and the room smelled especially the bathroom. I did not feel comfortable here.
