Just a nice size hotel in a good location
We had a very enjoyable 3-night stay during "Fiesta Week". The staff make this place what it is: i.e., Our Keurig coffee maker stopped working and another was brought and set up within 10 minutes of my call to the front desk. The restaurant, though limited in selections, was adequate for us. Service was great. The breakfast (w/room) option was all we needed to start the day. All 3 selections were tasty. And yes, the location is not 'downtown' Riverwalk, but if you like to sleep at night, that's a good thing. It was pleasant to hear the fireworks going off in the distance instead of being amid all the action of downtown. Be sure to get the 24 hour boat taxi pass. We managed to make 3 round trips beginning one morning and ending the next. Beautiful foliage and once you ask questions and the captains begin talking, you learn a lot of useful history about the area. Going through the locks was interesting. As an outdoor writer, I'm always looking in the water. I was surprised to see a 3-4 lb. largemouth bass, a good size bluegill, and a 8-10 lb carp languidly swimming in the same area by Landry's Restaurant (Order the crab cake sandwich.). Because of the price and service, this is where we'll make reservations for our trip next year, only we'll stay longer to take in the parade of barges and floats Monday night of Fiesta Week.
