8/10 Good
"Overall this is a great hotel. The location is fantastic for getting to restaurants and attractions near the riverwalk. Most are within walking distance. You can walk out the back doors and you are standing on the riverwalk. Food at the on site restaurant is okay, nothing special. The food is very overpriced for what you get.The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms are a little outdated and could use a refresh."
