“I think this hotel's Riverwalk location strikes a sweet spot, removed from the loudest areas but still incredibly convenient. I see definite appeal in the rooftop pool and the on-site dining, particularly the Tex-Mex options. However, reports of persistent issues with key cards and inconsistent service give me pause.”
