Hotel Capstone
Great staff very helpful at both. Check in and check out the room was clean accessible. The only real issue I had was I just didn’t really like the shower head that was in the shower, but aside from that everything was good as gold, even though the giveaway toiletry items were excellent.

I was impressed. The space was nice and HUGE. We brought our own air fryer and that literally completed the room, the staff was great. We had fresh towels and extra blankets when it got cold. I pray I can find this exact setup in the future.
