The staff was great valet parking was very convenient. Our room was spaacious and beautiful we even got a complimentary upgrade. We did not take advantage of the pool area it wasnt as spacious as we liked and also its not non-smoking. There was plenty of shaded area to sit but that is the whole reason why we booked the hotel. Other than that we enjoyed our stay we will book again.

This hotel was absolutely amazing;; the room was extremely clean and well maintained, and the staff was very helpful when needed. From the layout to the maintenance it was a very nice place to spend quality time and enjoy the riverwalk literally steps from the hotel. The only issue I had was the mariachi band that played on the weekend was extremely loud and I could hear them even on the 12th floor. It was simply a few hours but still not as a bit of an inconvenience.

Just a sweet stay, Chris at the front desk was amazing. Room was clean and comfortable. Guest services was responsive. Pool and hot tub were an added bonus at the end of a long day. Great stay even with children. In walking distance to Dave and Busters as well as Lego land. I’d highly recommend.
