The location was excellent, easy to walk about 15-20 minutes to get all over town (food, drinking, shopping, tours, historic sights). Clean and comfortable room, great city view, pool outdoors was beautiful, bar was lively every night, coffee shop so convenient, Howard was extremely helpful to book trolly and explain special stops not to miss, restaurant looked amazing (missed chance to eat there, but will next time). All staff was very helpful, with great attitudes. Will book at DeSoto again.

I came home with bed bugs bites all over my arms and face. Hotel acknowledged the problem. A review from 2024 with same bed bugs issue suggests the hotel failed to clean up this major unfortunate situation. I now have the bugs in my house
