We have stayed here a few times now as a family and have always been very impressed with the service and facilities. We included our stay with the breakfast which is always worth the extra. Staff and valets are always nice and helpful. The rooms could use a little more polish on the fixtures and fittings but doesn't detract overall. Recommend for families and will visit again.

The room was very modern, with all kinds of climate friendly touches. The thermostat was easy to use and control and the a/c was absolutely silent. I loved the option of sitting on the king size bed, at the work desk, or in a comfortable lounge chair. Our room overlooked the beautiful riverwalk area, modern office buildings, and the hotel pool below. There was a little noise from the pool, but it was worth it for the views.

Wverythung was great, room, check in, check out. However the parking was a bit rediculous at $59 a night. Also when you put the card out for the room not to be cleaned they cleaned it anyway.
Pool.area was very clean. Small pool as far as most pools go but was fun for the kids

We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable. Great location to restaurants on South Bank. Minutes to the river walk and pools. Nice to have a balcony to enjoy our morning coffee or you could also sit at the very comfortable patio area, by pool. We were on second floor and still had a nice view of the streets and pool area.
