The room was a suite and had a couch and desk with a separate bedroom. The location is convenient on the Riverwalk.. it made it easy to access things. We loved the breakfast.. especially the fresh pastries.
There were clear issues that affected my stay. The bathtub had stains and hair from a previous guest.. plus it lacked a cover. The floors also were not clean and had crumbs and other debris.
