Don't Stay Unless You Have No Choice.
I just wouldn't stay again, there were seats outside the window where people could relax, but they weren't for our room, and just everything was a disaster.

Excessive charges
The hotel was nice, but the extra charges for late check out and parking were I feel excessive. We stayed on a Saturday night due to my husband running a marathon Sunday. We arrived around 4:30. We were told checkout was 11 and parking ends at the same time. Charge was $70 to stay until 2 and $12 to park until then. The hotel was not busy at all- I feel some discounts could have been given. We would not stay again

Riverwalk visit.
Phone in room didn’t work, he said been like that for while. Hair dryer was taken from wall, had to ask for one. Checkin in at 3 and not a minute before. Very close to Riverwalk. Very quiet.

This is a boutique hotel so I wasn’t expecting a large lobby, food service, or fancy amenities. However, the limited staff is personable and responsive. Try to get a room with a balcony. It faces the Tower of Americas.

It’s an older hotel, with the type of problems associated with older hotels. The staff were nice and the hotel clean. Fixtures were dated, but they worked.

The location is perfect. Half a block from the Riverwalk and close to everything. We always stay here. We park our car and walk the whole weekend. The car moves again when we head back home. We will always stay here.

I understand it's a historic hotel but looked too run down. The employees aren't too friendly or informative. Their service is pretty low. The only thing i liked is that it's close to many attractions.

Fun place to stay close to the Riverwalk
The hotel is historic which is a fun experience. If you are looking for something that is up to date and modern, this historic hotel is probably not for you. If you are looking for something with character, great customer service, and awesome value, extremely close to the Riverwalk, you'll really enjoy your stay here! Front desk staff were accommodating and helpful, timely with any requests, I never had to ask twice for anything (and I always end up needing something extra in a hotel stay). Parking was convenient but I did have trouble using the parking permit from the hotel, it took me several tries but it was able to work out. I felt safe the whole time also.

Play smells like mildew needs to be renovated. Has a bunch of weird rules. Cool historic building but needs some attention to detail
