Property itself was fine. Parking has to be done via valet (cannot self park) and I wasn't notified of this at check in; had I not run into the staff at night and they just mentioned it, the car would have been towed. This should be mentioned at check in. Loud overnight due to airplanes (close to airport) as well as loud footsteps from the room above us (poor soundproofing). No iron/ironing board/safe/in-room coffee maker. Overall okay but wouldn't stay her again.

We chose this place because it was close to the Riverwalk and was pet friendly. It was a very nice place with very nice outdoor ambience. Lots of chairs, fire pits and an outdoor bar. There was a restaurant on location which was not pet friendly. There was no coffee in the room. The room was small but very nice. The staff was very friendly. No parking for the hotel but they did offer a valet parking service for an extra charge. I would stay again.
