I did my research, so I knew how far it was to the 'heart' of the Riverwalk and intentionally stayed off season and away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area. I am fond of not wasting money on luxurious hotels, so this was about what I expected. Clean, friendly, not fancy and a good bargain. If you do want extras in a room, make sure you ask. Mine was small, but clean, with no view, no fridge. My only complaint was that the room had an old, musty odor to it. Presumably from the proximity to the river, but you can overcome odor with some effort and they should try.
The walk isn't bad and rather enjoyable. Off season waits for the water taxi can be long, so be prepared to hoof it or wait. The walk alone at night to the hotel was a bit disconcerting and lonely off season, so I don't recommend it. The next nights I waited for the river taxi if I was returning late.
The Tiki bar is hype. Locals are friendly. Don't rely on the restaurant to be open during off season and there isn't much else close by for food.
