8/10 Very good

Old Doubletree, nice hotel, rooms need refreshed
As soon as I arrived, it was nice. Very attentive door and desk staff. The lobby scent was wonderful. It was clearly a Doubletree Suites originally, so I was instantly familiar with the layout. Location is very nice. The room, however, could use a refresh. It smelled quite musty. Like damp musty as if it were a beach hotel. I was going to request another room, but I realized I could smell that mustiness in the hall too, so it must be in all rooms. I had to go buy some room scent to try and mask it. Didn't really work. So that was a big negative that I hope they fix. If they fix that, then the room would be OK. Not great -- a bit tired, but good.

Nice place to stay!
The hotel room was nice with a very large bathroom and a nice view. Everything was clean, some items could use a touch up like some areas around the shower showing rust, but that was very minimal.

Top Notch Experience
Hotel Contessa was absolutely amazing! Gorgeous decor, clean, quiet and right on the Riverwalk. We will definitely stay here again. From the valet staff to check-in to service at the hotel bar, our experience was top-notch. While we didn't get to enjoy the pool, it looked really nice. Equipment at the gym was also in great condition. We typically find something wrong at places we stay, but this was not the case for Hotel Contessa.
