I really liked the room we stayed in. It was very clean and room service was good! However, I think the breakfast was lacking options. The main reason I booked this hotel was for the included breakfast. I just wish there were more options to choose from.

The hotel location was perfect for the event we were in town for. Easy access, walking distace to restaurants, clubs, shopping and the River walk area. The staff were all so kind and very good at their jobs. The crew that work in the breakfast area are sensational. They sre very welcoming and attentive to everything going on there. It can get really busy sometimes, and they are so helpful. They deserve a lot of credit for making our stay even better. Thanks guys!

Hotel itself was nice and good price for downtown. Wish i would have known that the self park garage was a couple blocks away. I wouldnt have stayed there for this reason, but I imagine thats a common experience for downtown hotels. I ended up just paying extra for valet, which i would never otherwise do. Otherwise the stay was nice, bed was comfy, room was clean. They even give you earplugs if you dont sleep well with downtown city noises. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall 3 stars solely because of the parking situation. Maybe my misunderstanding...oh well!

What is going on?

This hotel is notttt worth the price. It’s insane what hotels are charging for subpar cleanliness, food, rooms, everything. It would have been just okay for even $50 a night and I paid over $300 a night. Absolutely crazy. Breakfast was gross and unhygienic, the rooms were dusty and nothing to brag home about.

The hotel was very clean and tidy, and it was located in a good location as it was within walking distance to River Walk, and the Mag Mile. Very vibrant restaurant scene. Housekeeping services were good. The king-sized room was a bit small for two adults and one child (there was no pull out couch). No safe or microwave. My wife enjoyed using the gym. Paid parking is in another building one street south of the hotel, and you can either pay for self park or for valet, which is a little more expensive, but it's not far of a walk if you choose self pay. Breakfast was a little lacking in terms of variety compared to other three star hotels we've been to, but Javier and Fanny helped to make up for the shortcomings as they cheerfully greeted us each morning, and they both made us feel welcomed by asking how we were doing, getting to know us a bit, and provided some helpful tips as to what to do in the city. I did not get his name, but there was a young man with very long, dark hair, and a moustache who works at the front desk (generally in the evenings) who provided great customer service, and genuinely seemed to care about the comfort of his guests. Although other front desk staff were nice, he took extra care to ensure our needs were met, took time to answer questions.

End of August 6 night stay

Good location, didn’t have a car- could walk a couple blocks to subway or bus. Bed wasn’t comfortable- very hard , but yet didn’t seem supportive. Didn’t like the pillows, but I am used to down pillows. Found a clump of very short cut hair on the bathroom floor. Asked for housekeeping every other day. On day 3 late afternoon they came by and gave us some towels. Day 5 they cleaned the room , new towels and bedding. In between days we had to empty the garbage out in a hallway can. ( Our fault for not asking for service every day) Had a suite and loved the extra room. It’s across the street from a firehouse, but sirens didn’t go off at night. Breakfast was quite good-especially for free breakfast! All of the staff were friendly, polite and helpful! Would stay there again
