First room had plumbing issues. Management indicated a next day repair. Second room greeted by roaches. Might be my worst HIX experience.

Win up for a procedure. This is a very nice quiet place. The staff here is very nice. If you're just looking for something that will get you through the night and not pay too much. It definitely is a great place to stay. I've been here several times and we'll come back again.

Great location. Roughly to 7-15 dollar Uber to the Riverwalk and most attractions. Easy to find and park for free. The room are big. Beds are firm. They could use a little more up keep. The pool is dirty and when we asked about it, they didn't seem like the sticks in the pool was a problem ... However the breakfast is good. The seating area for breakfast is small and so on weekend it was very crowded and hard to navigate.

But great value for money.

First time staying at this hotel. I was on a business trip and co-workers picked this hotel due to location of downtown and the riverwalk. Upon entering the hotel, I noticed this hotel only had one elevator, which made getting to your room rather lengthy. Not sure why they don’t invest in two elevators but it was what it was. Staff seemed super friendly and helpful. Upon entering my room, I noticed it to be very dark. Even with lights turned on, the room itself was dark. I liked that the room I had was like a mini studio apartment, however lighting was just horrible.
Overall the room was cleaned and organized. I had a random door in my room leading to who knows where. I was on the fourth floor, and hot water seemed like it took forever to get there. Even had the nozzle all the way on, and it seemed like the hot water was barely coming thru. Definitely recommend opening the shade to the window to let some natural light in and help with the lightening process. The hotel was definitely quiet, there were time I thought I was the only one on the floor. Room had a nice little table desk for work and a side table. If you don’t mind the darkness and one elevator issue, for the price you definitely could stay here.
