Riverwalk Vista Inn - Page 1

We had booked a 4 night stay starting on a Thursday night, knowing that we would have to move to another room during our stay due to full reservations. The first night we had a large room and other than a noisy A/C with too high of blower volume it was nice. We were told to have our bags ready and they would move them for us to room 308. I looked in the door and it was much smaller but looked ok. Little did I know that instead of facing the Dillards Dept Store as before, we were to be facing a large intersection with a round about and very heavy traffic. The room had plexiglass windows over the glass windows to help with noise and also had a noise cancelling machine on the night stands next to the bed, the same noisy a/c system as before and an unbalanced ceiling fan that clicks with every rotation. About 3:30 in the morning you may get a break and be able to drop off to sleep, at least until 6:00 AM when the traffic starts again.

There was no place to stop out front of the Riverwalk Vista because of a large roll off trash bin being used for construction on other parts of the building. So to unload you can risk your life and just double part on this 2 lane heavily traveled street or park a block or more away and carry your luggage to the front door (which is next to a McDonalds!) It is good actually to be next to McDonalds because the deluxe breakfast they have for you is subpar to say the least. When I complained about being unable to sleep and therefore that we were leaving after two nights, their reply was that they had no control over the exterior noise of the building. Yes that might be true but you do have control over the interior of the building. The place that you are so ready to charge a large amount of money for and the place where we are asking for a clean, safe place to SLEEP!. There are many other places where you can stay on the riverwalk. Don't stay here!

This was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The service is superb and the rooms are clean, classy and comfortable.

This hotel made me feel elegant: The hotel was up scale and high priced.

They were very good. I didn't have any problems with them. We only stayed for one night but it was still good.
