Wverythung was great, room, check in, check out. However the parking was a bit rediculous at $59 a night. Also when you put the card out for the room not to be cleaned they cleaned it anyway.
Pool.area was very clean. Small pool as far as most pools go but was fun for the kids
Partial City view room 124.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable. Great location to restaurants on South Bank. Minutes to the river walk and pools. Nice to have a balcony to enjoy our morning coffee or you could also sit at the very comfortable patio area, by pool. We were on second floor and still had a nice view of the streets and pool area.
