9.6/10 Exceptional! (39 reviews)
Just wow. This is an amazing hotel/inn. If I ever need a hotel in Tallahassee, I will only stay at this place from now on. The common area was very nice, the rooms squeaky clean, the beds super comfortable, and the shower in the miami room may be the coolest shower I've ever been in. My wife and I had an amazing experience. They don't even mention on the website that they provide coffee, pastries, and cliff/granola bars for breakfast. Oh, and did I mention they have a very nice kitchen/shared dining area with a large fridge? I wish more cities had places like this. I highly recommend The Capitol Inn.

Property is very nice. Ceiling looked like it was in the midst of a renovation but everything else in the room was nice and clean. They added a personable touch with my name on the TV screen (which is always nice). I would definitely stay at this location, again!!
