Hotel Capstone

10/10 Excellent

"Caught the Capstone on an away game weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Next time though, I’ll ask if the football team will be staying there. The 5:45 am wake up call up and down the hallway was unexpected but got the day off to a roaring start!"

"Rooms were clean and there is a separate vent in the bathroom for moisture and noise reduction. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast options were good and are available until 10am.

Only caveat is that there is a median on the street so if you’re approaching with the hotel on your left you’ll have to make a u-turn somewhere to get there."
