Location, Location, Location!!
We recently stayed on the third floor in a room facing Commerce Street. Yes, there was street noise - you are in a city. The noise from the street was actually drowned out from our extremely loud air conditioner. We never heard any noise from inside the hotel - no voices in the hall or doors banging - very nice! The location was awesome. I could look out the window and see the river and the brightly colored umbrellas from the Casa Rio restaurant. It was easy to walk across the street and down the stairs and you were right there on the Riverwalk. We enjoyed grabbing a glass of wine in the afternoon and sitting and looking out of the floor to ceiling windows in our room. The breakfasts were okay - bagels, fruit, cereal, a sweet bread, and a hot dish - two mornings it was little hot dogs in a wrap - really? I loved the little mints they have sitting around the common areas in the hotel. Cleanliness was just so-so. I noticed that I dropped a cookie crumb on our first day there - it was still there 3 days later. The bathroom off of the lobby on the third floor was not clean. A newspaper was on the floor for the entire time we were there. The bed was clean as well as the towels. I would stay again.
