Frommer's Review
If you're not going to be by the lake, you might as well be by the capitol. This hotel is one of the most comfortable places to stay in the downtown area and a favorite with lobbyists and state contractors. Standard one-bedroom suites are oversize and a great bargain for the price. Many come with balconies. The two-bedroom suites all have balconies and are only $80 dollars more. Many rooms have a capitol view. Full-sized appliances with all the requisite cookware allow guests to prepare meals in comfort. And, unlike kitchens in many all-suite hotels, the ones here are separate -- you don't have to stare at dirty dishes after you eat. (The housekeepers wash them every day, regardless.) These suites with kitchens appeal to families with mouths to feed; the sturdy and practical way the rooms are furnished and decorated seems particularly apt for people with younger kids.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
