The hotel was delightful, the room was modest and well-stocked, had essentials for a perfectly pleasant stay.
I enjoyed this hotel, it's reasonably clean and absolutely charming. The provided breakfast was delicious. Room was non-smoking and beautiful. Staff members were courteous. Nice lobby. There were free internet and free parking available. The location was unbeatable, not far from the riverwalk and restaurants.
Great views, enjoyed peaceful setting
Our experience was lovely from the moment we checked in, we will be back. The staff was absolutely beautiful and the room was non-smoking and compact. Outstanding service and a nice pool onsite. Plus their wifi was free. They offered us great meals, had a great selection of options to choose from.
