Overall Good stay for price

Pros- Clean rooms, Bed was comfy. Good customer service A+, parking fee decent compared to other hotels in the area. Good location with easy walk to Riverwalk Cons- No pool or gym, dark throughout buiding. Although parking lot is next building, no easy access parking lot-we had to walk on the ramp. I loved that there was a balcony but there is no privacy !(shared) Also, no vaping on balcony. I understand prohibitin cigarettes they have an offensive smell and leave odor- but vaping is NOT the same.
