Super nice hotel. Rooms are very spacious, needs are comfortable, and they have a game room in the lobby. Only complaint was the lack of parking.

Very nice lobby, clean rooms, perfectly situated. Parked under the bridge next to the hotel for cheap. Wouldn’t mind returning.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL IF DRIVING/BRINGING OWN CAR.
Pros: Close enough to walk to river walk and Alamo, so great for daytime explorations. Rooms outdated, but clean.
Cons: Parking is a nightmare…either park under a freeway or valet for $30-40 a night and the service itself is not reliable. We scheduled for our car to be ready from valet at 6am for checkout and the car was there but no valet individual to hand over our keys so we were stuck waiting for another valet employee to arrive FOR AN HOUR (front desk not able to give keys I guess??). While waiting, the valet cat request dinged every two minutes with no employee to respond.
Spend a little more to have a more reliable basic service. Disappointing.

This is my second time staying at this hotel and I love it. It's clean, the breakfast has a good variety, and the location is excellent. The staff at the reception are very friendly.

Convenient location to do things downtown. Parking is limited though.
Room was okay. Shower head was falling apart, I had to tighten it up but not all the settings worked. Bed was okay but pillows were not comfortable. Iron worked but couldn't use the water spray feature to press my clothes and it kept leaking water.
