Home away from home style relaxation, with a gorgeous view!
Pros:

The staff were all outstanding! From the check-in receptionists to the cafe barista, everyone was very welcoming and informative. The room was clean and comfortable, and the pool was equally well kept. I would like to highlight housekeeper Sharon for helping my family with extra towels and directions in the building, and check-in clerk Rae-Rae for being wonderfully informative about weekend activity highlights on the beachfront. All the staff were great, my family and I will be returning customers.

Cons:

Signage to find the property among the complex of apartment buildings up and down the block is difficult to spot. The hotel’s signs blends in too much like. A few spotlights to standout or a new sign that pops out more would be helpful.

Hotel with guests...roaches
Pros:

It was close to the Riverwalk

Cons:

The hotel was in disrepair. Carpets were extremely dirty. I had a roach fall from ceiling on my face in bed. Got a video..spoke to front desk clerk Angela showing her my video. She had no authority and hotel manager would not speak to me. She stated he would be 20mins before he would come out. I powered thru my stay and made myself a promise. Never again

Pros:

First thing that I noticed when we got off the elevator was how dirty the hallway carpet was. At least vacuum it. Second time we got to the room the key card didn't work. Waited 15 minutes for someone to come up

Basic hotel. No frills.
Pros:

Beautiful location.

Cons:

Pool was nasty. Rooms were small with minimal furniture. Bathroom was the size of a closet. Would have expected more from Marriott.
