This hotel is fun because it is the old Bexar County jail. If you are in decent shape and enjoy walking, the weather is somewhat mild, then the Riverwalk... is close enough, though definitely not right outside your door. Market Square is very close, only one of the La Quintas is closer but it is not as nice as this hotel. If you're not used to living or traveling in cities, you may be bothered by a few transients that appear near the downtown area, but they are mostly harmless and don't overwhelm the area. The room itself was fine, comfortable, very clean, though the design suffered a bit because the historic integrity of the building had to be preserved. I visited on a holiday weekend and parking was tight but I was still able to park without a problem. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you want a very large room, or you need to be very very close to the Riverwalk, this may not be the best choice. If you want something different, close to El Mercado, in reasonable distance to many attractions at a good price, this is a great choice. I will stay again.
