It was an amazing evening and experience!
Pros:

I absolutely fell in love with the hotel. It is a stunning building with beautiful decor and uniqueness. The staff was absolutely amazing too!

Cons:

The bathroom sinks splash too much water outside of the sink bowls, which was causing mold along the counter and wall area.

Pros:

Loved the historic location, and easy walkability to the city center.

Cons:

The room could use a little refreshing.... ie: painting, especially in the bathroom. VAir vents and ceiling fan were in need of dusting.

I would again stay there and recommend this hotel
Pros:

The proximity to the Riverwalk made it convenient. However, the design of the rooms and architecture of the hotel was fascinating

Cons:

I wish I had a river view as there were several available rooms during our stay

Pros:

Die Einrichtung war sehr außergewöhnlich und geschmackvoll. Alle waren sehr freundlich und die Sauberkeit war topp. Die Lage, das Flair, Ambiente waren ausgezeichnet.

Cons:

Es gab kein Frühstücksbuffet. Man hätte aber wohl in dem Restaurant im Hotel günstig frühstücken können, das haben wir aber nicht gemacht. Das Valet Parking war zwar sehr praktisch und alle sehr zuvorkommend, aber doch ziemlich teuer.
