Great location, clean room and a nice bar area

I liked that there were little seating areas with separate TVs on the main floor to eat at with the kids so that we did not have to eat in our room.
Other than the one thing I mentioned that I did like, I did not like anything else. The pool was freezing cold and we ended up having to pay to go somewhere else to swim. The room was dirty and the shower was falling apart so we did not even shower while there. They charge my credit card as soon as I checked in when they were not supposed to until my stay was over.

Location of the hotel being right on the river which allowed us to see the water being dyed green for St Patty's day. Being close allowed for us to be able to run back to the room when it got cold or we wanted to just get inside.

Ubicación, instalaciones, vista espectacular desde mi habitación.
Personal del front desk con poca iniciativa de servicio. No hablan español ni tienen la más mínima intención de auxiliar al huésped. El agua para bañarse no estaba suficientemente caliente.

Everything was nice and clean and the view was amazing
I didn't get the room as it was described to me in my conformation was suppose to be a double spacious room with a sitting area and shower and separate tub.

I liked the location and fast check-in. The room was specious and the beds were comfortable, clean and tidy.
I did not like the bathroom towels. They are small and limited in number. They don't smell nicely as you expect from clean towels. There is not enough toiletry for couples and are not replenished daily.

The location is excellent, very central/loop, and amazing views across the river. Our upgraded room was lovely and clean (albeit very very noisy, as low level facing road). Some of the staff at reception were lovely and very helpful - Deja and Dominic in particular. Gyn was lovely overlooking the river.
All rooms with city available were close to a noisy lift. We were re-roomed to an upgraded room with river view but unfortunately the cars/car radios were even more noisy. The member of staff checking us in was not very helpful. A large deposit is taken off credit card and there was some confusion around the final payment/refund. Also we booked with breakfast included, not something the hotel seems used to.

Couldn't think of a better location!
High quality beds and equally equipped room, large enough for a family of four.
Elevator service was limited at the time - long waiting before the ride up or down due to necessary repair to two out of four elevators.

Great hotel close to the Riverwalk. The staff were very friendly and polite. The room was very big for 2 people with a nice sofa. Comfy bed.
Don't know.

There was no pool or complimentary breakfast. The valet parking assistants were great but the street was so crazy busy
