“The unique architecture initially grabs the eye, and the location, just across from the Riverwalk, is certainly prime. The on-site restaurant seems a true highlight, and one appreciates the blend of historical charm with modern boutique amenities. In my view, though, some aspects of the rooms need refreshing to match the beauty of the common areas.”
