Terrific location right on the Riverwalk, close to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy check in, staff were terrific. Facility was very well kept with plenty of amenities. Our room was very nice, the only negative was that there wasn’t a way to keep the bathroom door open, it always slammed shut. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
