Stayed two nights. First night, I heard the elevator ALL NIGHT LONG! Sounds like a ghost “ooohhhing” over and over again. Asked to move rooms. Ended three floors up and three doors further from the elevator. In the second room, the AC wouldn’t cool enough but I didn’t want to seem demanding so I just dealt with it. Very minimal improvement on the noise. Then to top it all off, the people in the room next door were VERY vocal during and completely unashamed of their ‘romantic adult relations’ being broadcast from 12:30am-3:30am… the ONLY things positive about the stay were the rooftop pool (although I was sad to see the jacuzzi was out of order) and the amazing staff! Not sure I’d go back again at nearly $800 for a two night getaway.

Disliked: Amenities
Didn’t like that the hotel doesn’t have its own garage to self park. Valet is way too expensive per night. Booked the hotel thinking it would be really nice but wasn’t what i expected. Didn’t have room service. I have stayed at other hotels less expensive and had free breakfast and lunch. Didn’t know we had to place a $150 deposit fee before hand plus they still charge for other things and won’t tell you about that. Valet also stepped in gum and left it on my floor mat didn’t even bother to clean it up. Over all my stay was a 5/10.

OK stay
The beds were very uncomfortable. The room was spacious however the bathroom was fine however the shower floor looked dirty (like it needed to be scrubbed) the pump for the body wash was missing the nozzle so I was unable to use that the coffee maker was broken and the Fiji $8 dollar water in the room was overpriced. For the high price of the room, they could have included complimentary bottled water in the room. I had requested two robes and there was only one included. Nice place however for the amount one pays I believe there are far better hotels in the vicinity.

Great hotel. Poor plumbing
Great location right on Riverwalk. Very clean hotel. Bar prices a bit high. Only (big) issue was with bathroom plumbing. If you wanted a shower you had to run the taps in the bathroom for 10 minutes to get hot water through the system. Reported it to staff 3x and were told “it’s due to work being done by the city”.

Toilet wouldn't hardly flush. They come and"worked"on it but didn't help. One of the main reasons we booked at this hotel was because it has a hot tub. We stayed 5 night, it was out of order every day. You could tell it hadn't worked in a long time. Was hit with over 50 dollars worth of BS taxes and fees on our last day. They do not accept cash, credit card only, even at the restaurant and bar. Will not stay there again
