"It's wonderful and convenient to stay on the Riverwalk. The hotel is clean but a bit dated. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The daily breakfast buffet is great. Several hot choices, waffle makers and typical morning food. I think the $15 per day parking charge is ridiculous. "

"Parking was further than anticipated, the room key pad was confusing and locked us out immediately and we had to use the key on the table, luckily security was able to unlock our door for us so we could get ready and make it to our event on time. There was some damage to the bathroom cabinet towards the bottom when we arrived and stains on the bedroom carpet, clean other than that. Beautiful views, felt very secure, and in walking distance from everything we needed. "
