Fabulous and great food!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lovely hotel on the riverwalk"
The hotel staff was helpful and gracious. They were always ready with directions or suggestions for places to eat or visit on the river. I would stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice stay"
Great service, clean and spacious room, nice pool on top for our kids and spa for wife. Convenient location in Riverwalk and not far from Seaworld. Need to use valet service though (parking can be an issue).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect Location - Quiet side of Riverwalk"
Hotel Contessa is the perfect location if you're wanting to stay on the Riverwalk. Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) loved our stay here. It's situated on a quiet section of the Riverwalk, but still within walking distance to all the restraunts and Alamo. Kids loved the heated pool on the roof. The suites are perfect for a family. And the staff was […] wonderful, so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Very comfortable hotel on the Riverwalk"
The Contessa is a very comfortable hotel. Our room was arranged as a suite with a separate sitting room. We selected a river view room, which gave us a great view of the Riverwalk. Conveniently located on the Riverwalk, access to restaurants and attractions in the area is excellent. The Alamo is in easy walking distance. Service, from the time you drive […] up to the point of departure, was also excellent. Valet parking is offered and recommended, but a little pricey. There are great restaurant opportunities nearby on the Riverwalk, but the buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant is a great way to start the day. Our room was not particularly suited for a business related stay. There is a built-in "desk" area in the bedroom, but no desk in the sitting area where you can set up a laptop. Electrical outlets in the sitting area are also limited. Wifi access was free and worked well. There was a refrigerated minibar and the usual complimentary coffee and tea, but no sink or separate refrigerator for your own use. We have stayed in several other hotels in the Riverwalk area, and we like the Contessa the best. We will be back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Never had to get in our car!"

Loved it & loved […] San Antonio! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"I LOVE THIS HOTEL!"
This was my second visit to Hotel Contessa. The rooms are very big and spacious. There is a seperate living room with another tv which really helps when you have kids with you. The beds are extremely comfy. The bath is spacious and elegant. The hotel is right on the river and close to restaurants and shops. There is a lovely bar and restaurant downstairs. […] The pool is small but fun for the kids. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's one of the best in San Antonio! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel on the River"
Stayed during the Thanksgiving Holiday and totallly enjoyed our stay. I know the area and parked my own vehicle in covered parking for $12. a day with in & out priviliges. Walked on the Riverwalk and dined around the area. Enjoyed the 10-11pm happy hr in the hotel. It was warm enough to enjoy the pool but we didn't have time. We've stay here before […] and will definitely come back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"San Antonio Riverwalk"
I have stayed twice t the Hotel Contessa. Under ordinary circumstances, it is expensive--beyond my budget--but if you can get a deal on a room or a suite, it is definitely worthwhile--great hotel, great location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quiet yet convenient location on River Walk"
Very large room. Friendly, courteous staff. Only negative was the restaurant. Dinner very high priced and food was not good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The favorite hotel on our whole trip"
Check out the roof top pool!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"beautiful scenery and of walking distance"
Stayed at one of the luxury suites and found it comforting and with a home like atmosphere. It made the stay more relaxing and not so much of a "just a room at a hotel" type of feeling. Next trip up to San Antonio, a must at Hotel Contessa!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"room not ready at check-in time"
Room not ready at check-in time; no phone call when room ready as promised by Henry. Room NOT ADA equipped as reserved/promised by Henry. Told to come back/wait in line again behind 20 people to change rooms. Informed front desk of our problems at check out time and Natalie said "what would you like me to do for you?" VERY CLASSY, HOTEL CONTESSA!! We […] paid a large sum to stay with you and you need me to tell you what to do to help us out????? Won't be staying there again!

"Damp-proof your vitamin's"
Great convenient location but no parking, and the garage that is a block away has no in-and-out privileges. Nice large rooms. My only two complaints are they try to help the environment with their signs to help conserve water, but then ignore them and still change all the towels and bed linen every day.....even when we hung our towels up like told to. […] Also, the room always felt “damp”. We left our vitamins in our pill box and by the next day they were decomposing because of all the moisture in the air. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great!"
Could not have been better. We travel with our Golden Doodle Harlan. Thanks for all of your help!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We were out of water.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Parking extra"
When calculating the cost of your stay make sure to account for the $15/day parking you will pay to park across the street or $40/day if you valet. Room was clean and comfortable and staff very attentive. For some reason almost every light bulb in my room was loose such that they flickered every time a door was closed. Easy enough to fix by myself. […] The non-working electrical output at the coffee station was a disappointment. So was the coffee maker leaking all over the dresser since I had to move it to find a working outlet. Rooftop pool is nice but loaded with kids late in the evening. Safe will accomidiate large laptop with big battery with some careful maneuvering. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, but bad room location"
Hotel was very nice, but our hotel room location was bad. Streets very loud and made it hard for us to sleep. We were even on one of the top floors. I asked for a canal view room but did not receive.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My daughter said the pull out bed was very uncomfortable, but our king size bed was great. Very clean with outstanding service, friendly staff, and great location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good"
Everything was great with exception of two things. First, the valet was extremely slow. Second, the beds did not have have fitted sheets. A real pain to wake up and have to remake the bed in the middle of the night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Contessa should be your first choice!"
As a single father of two younger children I was unsure about staying at such a nice hotel. I can now say with all surety that it is the only hotel I'd want to stay at while in San Antonio. Friendly staff, beautiful accommodations, and everyone went out of their way to make our vacation phenomenal!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Over all it was not a good experience. I had reserved two non smoking rooms with double beds. One of the rooms smelled like someone had smoked in it plus it did not have a double bed. the toilet was not working properly and it clogged. The other room's bathroom sink was leaking a lot. Maintenance had to come twice to fix it. As you can sre our experience […] was not a good one for the short time we stayed in San Antonio. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Maybe"
The hotel was nice but I was upset that I had no functioning toilet in our room the whole weekend we stayed. We informed the hotel but they did not get this issue resolved. Outside of that the hotel was nice but we got tired of going to the lobby restroom. I would have thought for the price of the room we would have had better service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
