Mediocre hotel
Excellent weather and the room was clean but very outdated, i expected more since it’s a popular hotel. But the balcony was huge but not worth 200 a night

Horrible hotel
Whoever owns this hotel needs to close it down expeditiously! It looks like a motel, it’s dirty the hallway dirty the room smell like wet mold! It need to be tore down and rebuilt.

Subpar hotel
Arrived to our room with two broken beds. We had engineering come and replace one of the box springs, however, the other bed was never fixed. The room smelt musty, was outdated and not very clean. Towel had makeup stains on it. We went to have breakfast downstairs one morning and waited 15 mins for someone to greet us which never happened. Carts for luggage were never available and you can only valet your car for the low price of 44$ night. Needless to say, we won’t be back in the future.

Not impressed
We were charged $47 for parking when the listed price was $44 which is already too high-then they added a mandatory charge of $25 that gave hotel credit in that amount in the bar or restaurant - Bar service was really slow, enough to discourage going back for that second drink... Hotel had a musty odor and could use some freshening. Overall, the only thing we liked was the riverwalk location.

Stay off floor #2!!
The floor we were placed on - 2 was dank, musty and dim. The room had a single air vent which was infested with black mold and though the AC was set to 50!!! It went from 72-74 during the brief 45 minutes we stayed in the room. We promptly left using Hotels.com to book a much better place across town near the airport. We were not the only guests to choose to leave on floor 2.

Be prepared for $$ resort fee and mandatory $45 valet parking. Add about $100 tot he nightly fee. Other than that it was a great hotel with friendly staff.
