The Capitol Hotel
Toilet looked like one at rest stop on highway. No toilet tank, just handle. Seemed underclassed. An extra mirror in the bedroom area would be nice. Only one hanger for clothes was not enough. Breakfast was good. Heat was good. Location was good.

The Farmington Inn & Suites
Loved the property and room cleanliness. Continental breakfast was acceptable, nothing to rave about (as I had read in some reviews): coffee was lukewarm at the very opening of the breakfast room, fresh fruit choice was limited to apples, the waffle machine wasn’t working properly and it took forever ...
