The lady at the check in desk on our arrival was kinda rude and acted like she didn’t care much. Acted like she had other things to do. When we asked for a luggage cart was told they had no one to bring one. The room and the overall condition of the hotel was excellent.

We'd come back

Checkin was interesting...we did choose valet and our bellman Fast Eddie was amazing! First front desk lady told us our room wasnt ready, needed quality sign off, etc. Eddie came back to meet us at our room and was surprised, he said he already had been notified of our room number...went back again and different front desk lady welcomed us and voila there were our room passes...not sure what that was about. Restaurant was very good but have to say quite understaffed...but that seems to be a repeating theme in many industries now. Room was very nice, clean, and quiet...hot water in shower in early morning took extremely long time to get warm, i felt bad about having to run water for so long, wasteful. Location on Riverwalk fantastic, toward the quiet end but right where we wanted to be.

We were placed in a room where there was this noise that sounded like some kind of mechanical whirring. Every now and then there would be stupid kids yelling making it sound like a rollercoaster. After searching nearby there are no amusement parks in the area, but I found out there are other people that reviewed this hotel and say it's extremely noisy and the sound that I was experiencing was the stupid elevator. The rooms itself wasn't too bad but the fridge was horrible as it couldn't even cool down a drink. The other thing I didn't enjoy was there are no parking, well more like you can park a few blocks away and walk to the hotel or pay $50 for valet parking....If you get drunk and pass out on the couch the noise wouldn't be an issue.
