The room and staff were great, however when we checked into our room, we were told of the $10.00 a day fee for parking which came as a shock to us. Everything else was great including the breakfast bar served each morning.

Staff was terrific, the room was clean, bed and pillows were very comfortable. The decor in the hallways and the room was downright ugly. There’s no other way to put it. The hotel is at the far end of the Riverwalk, which meant we logged many steps during our stay.”, Which is something we enjoyed doing
