It was amazing. The staff was nice. The bar was great. The only thing i didn't like is, we paid for an upgraded room for 4 people, but only 2 could get breakfast....a little odd but over all a great experience!
Terrific location right on the Riverwalk, close to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy check in, staff were terrific. Facility was very well kept with plenty of amenities. Our room was very nice, the only negative was that there wasn’t a way to keep the bathroom door open, it always slammed shut. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
Very good hotel with a great location. Front desk has always been friendly and helpful. Quiet room and comfortable bed. Clean as well. Only complaints which are probably standard for most locations would be; have to pay for wifi and there was a 50 dollar early check in fee.
Enjoyed everything about this property! Very nice area, walkable. The rooftop bar was amazing. Clean, friendly staff, lobby restaurant and bar. 10/10 overall.
