I'm very confused how people think so highly of this hotel. I usually go to pretty basic hotels or hostels and this was worse and 3 times the price. Hotel is dated and expensive. WiFi is slow and you need to pay for it. Breakfast is not included. It is on the riverwalk, but it is also next to an ER and pretty busy streets. Most of the rooms have doors facing outside so you can hear everything. Not a good idea if you can't sleep through car alarms and truck deliveries. The AC is set very cold with no way to turn off the extremely loud fan and the actual temperature doesn't match what you set. There are no ceiling lights and the hallway is too dark so you need to use a flashlight to get to a lamp. There are very few electrical outlets. And I asked to not get my room cleaned because I was only staying 2 nights and I didn't want to take my valuables. I left and put the do not disturb sign on, came back in the afternoon and the room had been cleaned.
