Staff is super friendly and the updated rooms are always clean . The hotel has a retro feel to it, and it's downtown without being too downtown. We got married here over 3 years ago, still beautiful!

Kysa Crusco

Pool is beautiful - ask for a room on the 2nd floor with a sliding door that opens to the pool.

Blanca Lidia

It is a beautiful place to stay, there is always great music playing, the bar is open late sometimes, the pool is lighted and closes til 11 and when it's dark it's romantic .

Sara Y

A little far from the sceney part of the Riverwalk, it's quiet uptown.

Craig Kapitan

Speakers at the pool pump a steady stream of Cuban jazz ; the tiki bar inside is like something out of old school Vegas; overall, a very cool retro vibe .

Shane Broussard

For anamazing room service option, check out www.TheBikeWaiter.com and choose delivery from over 30 local restaurants . Great vegetarian options as well !

Mary Kennedy

Right on the river walk but you have to go down the street to access it. Older hotel so keep that in mind. No restaurant except for breakfast . Does have a coffee shop that has strange hours.

Kimberly Wyman

Staff were awesome! I really enjoyed our stay here! The bed was mega comfy !

Hotel Tonight

Every elevator ride is a dance party when salsa is on the playlist.

Ray Sarracino

Christine Brown

Todd-n Cabra

Love the beds and pillows . Felt like we were sleeping on a cloud!

Cameron Losoya

Though it is a great hotel , they will nickel and dime you like crazy...

Raul Tapia III

If you get a room facing the pool and want to sleep in, you won't be able too due to loud samba music playing after 10am.

My room has a patio which you can smoke without going down to the lobby. How's that?!

Tinker Bell

Rooms, bar...food.

Penny Stafford

Not as close to the riverwalk as I would have liked.

Chris Lohl

Book direct or they will give away your room. And they are rude about it too.

Rex Allyn

Hotel is alright for the most part, the WiFi sucks ass, and if you call the front desk they will tell you to just use the business center ... Gee thanks

Laura Ramos

Make use of the trolley! Get a day pass.

Jenny Buttler

We just checked in ... So far I'm reasonably satisfied. Room is nice and clean .

Sandra Robb

Get a room facing the pool, not the street.

Pratiti Majumdar
