Room small
Room was alittle small. We had the classic king. Expected better service. Belle took care of us when arriving. She was great. Room was cold. Finally asked for heater . It help alot . I guess i just expected better service. Ask for accessible room. There was none available. It made it difficult when taking shower. Hotel location was awesome. Close to everything. Parking so expensive. Should include it with room.

The shower wouldn't stay at one temperature. Going from very hot to very cold and back many times during a short shower. A lot of noise in the middle of the night. No sign of security. Breakfast in the restaurant (buffet) was ok, but service could have been much better.

Couples get away
We had a great stay! Three nights. We didn’t have breakfast on the property, $25 buffet for eggs and bacon and fruit bar seemed a little steep. They have made to order but we opted for local breakfast. $25 a day ballet parking, we were expecting that, only says parking available which was true. Great location, right next to The Alamo.

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this property because on the first night of my stay, a Sunday night, they scheduled a large private party outdoors right below my hotel window with a live band and a DJ that went till 11 PM. I could repeatedly hear glass beer bottles being tossed into trash cans somewhere below my window and it sounded as if it was in my own room. Basically the whole thing sounded like a frat party – no exaggeration. Of course I wasn’t warned of this when I made the reservation, nor did they mention it when I checked in that same day. Nor did management contact me with any sort of apology for making me listen to this for hours on a Sunday night. And yes, I had made them aware of the significance of this disruption to my stay. Unless you can be assured that this sort of disturbance won't happen to you, I would not book this hotel.
