The property is modern with a really attractive aesthetic and the rooms are comfortable. I had a corner king suite with an incredible view of Buffalo Bayou park across the street- which makes it very convenient to walk the park trails. It has a huge shower room. Literally a room. It also has a very comfortable soaking tub. The food is good and creative. The red snapper ceviche is absolutely delicious and light and full of fresh flavor. The 'star' of the stay is definitely the staff. Every single person at the front desk, restaurant, bar, including the cleaning staff was super friendly and thoughtful. AND they remembered me from when I stayed a couple of months ago. They made me feel very much at home. I will definitely be back!

Long walk from seawall to actual pier. They need a golf cart for older people.
