"Beautiful property! Attentive valet and great rooms. AC did it's best with the humidity but it didn't get as cold in the room as I would've liked. I made a request when booking if they could leave a surprise bday note for my daughter in the room and not only did they, but they also made her a beautiful and delicious chocolate mouse cake for her complimentary. It's also in perfect walking distance to everything on the river walk and about a 30 min walk from the alamodome where we attended a concert. Would stay again! :)"
