The bed was very springy and was not comfortable at all. Room service never came in to empty trash or give new towels. There is also limited breakfast options that you pay for. Parking was very pricey as well. We paid and a friend staying at the same place got free parking for the 3 days we were there.

The room was clean and nice enough especially for being an old hotel. Location was great and parking ok. What I didn't like was that my elderly father walked out, got keys from the front desk guy and he lied about not seeing him leave. Thankfully we found him right away but did not appreciate the misinformation, could have turned out much worse.

We loved it. We couldn’t use their parking because we have a normal truck and it was too high for the entrance. But there was a parking lot just in front of the hotel was actually cheaper and more convenient. Also just across the street was a parking area for the scooters. We were so close to everything! It was a great convenience all the way around!

Property was SUPER cute and 2 blocks from the Riverwalk entrance. Definitely not luxury by any means, but a very cozy stay with access to a great night out! 10/10 Riverwalk experience.

I like that it's right downtown and everything is so close to my stay, but the rooms don't look like the images in the advertisement. It felt like a motel. Parking was right next door, but you have to pay for it, so it wasn't ideal. I guess if you're staying here, you're paying for the convenience rather than the amenities.
