great view of the river and downtown from the 34th floor. location was ideal for walking restaurants, shopping and the river walk. Staff was very helpful
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable, and I especially appreciated the easy self check-in process. The location was excellent and very convenient for exploring the area. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely stay here again!
The staff was so friendly. Especially Jock at the front desk was excellent. We loved the location, the view of the river, the 2nd floor coffee lounge and the water stations on each floor. I wish there was a restaurant in house, but we managed. I would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful experience. So close to the river walk and activities. Staff was so helpful and attentive and property was clean and comfy! Highly recommend!
