The location is good. The staff was great. The room cleanliness was subpar, visible dust in areas including the bed which also included dingy looking blankets with stains clearly left on after washing.

The hotel is updated with a modern flair. Our king suite was comfortable and roomy. Being directly on Riverwalk was super convenient. And the price was lower than comparable hotels in the area. Highly recommend this hotel.
