Good and Bad at a Tired Hotel
Positives: Close to Alamodome and Rivercenter. Breakfast is included. Small pool and fitness room are there (but we didn't use them). Ice water always available. (A nice touch would have been to add some lemon or limes to the water.) Very comfortable, open lobby area. Lots of parking in decent-sized spaces.
Negatives: If you want good internet service, DON'T stay here. It cuts out periodically, so it's very frustrating, especially when you need to use the internet for work as you're on vacation. Other guests told me the wi-fi on their smart phones kept cutting out, too. Some employees were very helpful, but others were cranky. This hotel seems very tired - hallways seemed dim and dirty and smelled of smoke. Our room was fine except for the showerhead facing at us when we turned it on. (Note to housekeeping staff - that's NOT funny!) Not safe to walk anywhere after dark.
