This is a beautiful hotel that is certainly photo worthy and should be on the city tour. The staff was super friendly and helpful. What I liked mostly about this hotel is how it was located to most of my tours and was right across the street from the riverwalk and provided a great view. There was a little street noise, but it did die down after 11;00 pm.
