Beautifully restored older hotel situated within walking distance to boutique shops, fine dining, water taxi and quick access to beach. A little pricey, but what isn't these days?

Very nice amenities with Riverwalk view.
Hotel is good and well situated. The restaurant, bar, swimming pool and gym are very good. The highlight of the stay. Overpriced for what it offers. They charge it because of the location. Bathrooms are very dated.
