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.

Best Western University Inn
Very good value. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Not a lot of extra luxuries, but we weren’t expecting that for the price. We just needed a clean, comfortable place to sleep and this was perfect!
