Parking is extra and they do not promise the saftey ir security of your vehicle. This hotel was conveniently close to the Allianz Riverfront venue and allowed us to walk there and back for a show. The room was nice but the doorknob has some sticky substance on it. The hot breakfast was good but staff do not watch or refill it quickly and the pancake machine was broken.

My only complaint is the black and pink mold that was in the caulk around the bathtub. That was the first thing I noticed when I walked in and it just left me unimpressed because that is something that is so easily fixed.

Very convenient & easily walkable to the Allianz Ampitheatre. Parking was a little scary wondering if the car was going to fit, it's a very low ceiling. Bed was comfy. Shower pressure wasn't great. Breakfast was nice!
