Frommer's Review

Set on the Southbank Riverwalk, this 10-story tower is famous for its Elvis Presley Suite, where the King purportedly stayed half a dozen times between 1955 and 1976 when this establishment was known as the Jacksonville Hotel. Funny, but it still looks as if it's steeped in the 1970s even though the hotel was renovated in 2005. Units have dark-wood furniture and smallish marble bathrooms. Riverfront rooms have balconies (those on the west end catch traffic noise from the Main St. Bridge). A branch of Ruth's Chris Steak House offers extraordinarily tender beef.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; heated outdoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; concierge; business center; limited room service; laundry service; concierge-level rooms
