It was a quiet, residential area close to the riverwalk. It was my partner and me, two adults; we felt safe with nice and attentive staff and a simple rental car. Room was nice and clean. Free parking. The area between the hotel and the Riverwalk area might seem a little sketchy, so I would recommend driving to the Riverwalk instead, but everything is close by. A restful place to sleep if that is all you need. Price was excellent.

The place is nice, basic and really clean !! Do not expect breakfast of any kind. It was a plus to have a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. Please be prepared to have 15 dollars cash for deposit of room keys and tv remote control. You will get that money back upon departure. The check out time is very strict and if you need longer time the 20 dollars will be charged for even one hour after the check out time. Felt safe and comfortable in the premises. Thanks for keeping the place so nice !

The bedspread looked new. An old hotel (50s or 60s) in very good condition. The bathroom had the most damage, but it was very clean. The water was nice and hot. The other tenants were sooo quiet, I didn’t hear anybody talking, having sex, and no one woke up at 6 am to start yelling to people in the room from their car. It smelled like bleach, so if that bothers your allergies, maybe you should steer clear. I would have liked a lower price because the photos made it look lots newer. It’s about a mile walk to the Historic Market and that was easy. Another bit to the Riverwalk and to the Marriott was a little long, but only one foot hurts tonight. The bed was perfect, or maybe I was tired. Also be prepared to pay a key and tv remote deposit, which you get back if returned. Thanks for the best room I’ve had in SA for a while.
