"This hotel was very good value. It was clean and had some amenities like a gym and pool and a snack shop. The best part was that it was a short walk to the convention center. It was also very quiet and had a desk and a fridge and microwave and a good amount of drawer space and a tub."

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean property, pool was really nice on the rooftop and it had great views!! Towels available when you enter pool area. I believe from 5-7?? you get 3?? free alcoholic drinks and appetizers. ... more like a meal!! It was all good! Only did this 1 night since we were there for BMT Graduation and was out Wednesday & Thursday night. From hotel to Graduation was maybe 1/2 hour but had traffic backup getting on base. Give extra time for traffic. Never tried the Breakfast since we had to leave by 4 AM for graduation both days. Rooms clean and spacious had a mini fridge, coffee maker and blow dryer available. Bathroom was nice and clean with plenty of towels. Had a partial view of the Riverwalk from room and there was access to Riverwalk from hotel. They also had a free pickup to take you to airport when you fly out. I believe they said they don't pick up from the airport when you arrive but just drop off when you leave. Very convenient since we had to be at airport at 2:00 AM! Would definitely recommend!!! Staff and driver to airport were all very helpful and friendly!!! Definitely recommend!!"
