The Capitol Studio room is up there with one of the best rooms I’ve stayed in. Spacious, comfy bed & quiet. The huge bathroom, including a deep bath, is a bonus too. I’ll definitely be back.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet, and everything felt relatively new. The location is excellent, and having a great café downstairs for coffee and breakfast was a real bonus. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend The Howey — we’ll definitely be back.
