Dropping off luggage is a big pain. You have to pull off the main street and hurry up and get your stuff out of your vehicle. Then you have to park in a parking garage which is about a block away and then on top of all that the elevator was out of service and we were on the third floor very old hotel

Ehhh it was okay..

The gentleman at the counter was very helpful when we checked in but once we did check we saw a large amount of homeless and heavy drug-use looking people going in and out of the elevator to a higher up room constantly. Only issue other than readiness of the room

Decently priced hotel very close to the Riverwalk and Alamo. Comfortable room with good shower and cold AC. Elevator wasn’t working but was fixed by the next morning. Parking garage was next to the hotel. Would stay there again because the price was good for the location.
