Don’t stay here
Don’t stay here. The pictures online have to be from long ago and misleading. This place is old, dirty, and grimy. The room smelled so strongly of mildew, the elevator was broken several times over several days, the ceiling fan in the room was broken and there was a stand fan to replace it, and everything had a layer of grime on it. Very simple cleanliness issues like just wiping things down. The hairdryer and light switch in the bathroom had someone else’s hair on it along with a layer of dust. The customer service experience was subpar except Jesse who was helpful and polite.
Visible water lines on the walls, probably contributing to the mildew smell.

Don't Stay Unless You Have No Choice.
I just wouldn't stay again, there were seats outside the window where people could relax, but they weren't for our room, and just everything was a disaster.

Excessive charges
The hotel was nice, but the extra charges for late check out and parking were I feel excessive. We stayed on a Saturday night due to my husband running a marathon Sunday. We arrived around 4:30. We were told checkout was 11 and parking ends at the same time. Charge was $70 to stay until 2 and $12 to park until then. The hotel was not busy at all- I feel some discounts could have been given. We would not stay again

Riverwalk visit.
Phone in room didn’t work, he said been like that for while. Hair dryer was taken from wall, had to ask for one. Checkin in at 3 and not a minute before. Very close to Riverwalk. Very quiet.

This is a boutique hotel so I wasn’t expecting a large lobby, food service, or fancy amenities. However, the limited staff is personable and responsive. Try to get a room with a balcony. It faces the Tower of Americas.
