I loved everything about this hotel: clean, friendly, great location for Moody Center concerts, advise pedicab for transport, good walking distance during the daytime-not advised for those with any physical impairment, restaurant on property, bar and restaurant inside hotel; my only EXCEPTION was daily charge for hotel parking WHICH is the normal for most of the area hotels. I highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely book there again.

According to Expedia this location was only an 8 minute walk to the Moody Amphitheater, the Capitol building and so much more. Was not even close to walkable. Also Expedia said that they had a free breakfast buffet for guests. Did not have any type of buffet and had some type of breakfast for a price. The buffet and location were why I choose this spot, as we are in our 70’s and trying to make everything as easy as possible. Also, was not told nor did I see you had to pay for parking each nite. Will never use Expedia again for any reason. So dissatisfied.
