“This hotel places you steps from the Alamodome and a manageable walk to the Riverwalk, while offering unexpected perks like free parking and a hot breakfast. The prospect of ongoing renovations might give pause; however, the attentive service and practical amenities, including guest laundry, make it a solid choice. In my opinion, it balances convenience with good value.”
