Check-in staff was very helpful. Parking next door was convenient and reasonable. River walk very close to hotel. Room was clean but took a while for hot water to start flowing. Bathrooms could use a remodel.

Hotel was clean and appeared somewhat updated. The WiFi was out of service our entire stay so had to use my phone hotspot to watch tv. Good location. Just outdated for our taste.

8/10 Very good

Nice stay overall. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location next to the riverwalk was a big plus. There are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. However, the room lighting wasn’t great, and I did find bugs inside the room, which was disappointing.

Parking was good. We thought we had a view of the river but did not. So when it says river view it is not the river view.
