Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent
"I loved the location and haunted history of this hotel. The hotel was a very short walk to everything. Did not need my car at all. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options to choose from. The only down side was that the ice machine on all of the floors were not working. Also, the valet was way too expensive. I would advise to do self parking unless you don’t mind spending a C-note for two nights."
