We have stayed before and it is a great historic building. Bed was comfortable and the room was great. Just a block away from the river walk. They do charge $26 for parking, which is high.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room is very clean the staff were very helpful and friendly and gave us suggestions when we adk about things to do and places to eat. The only complaint about the room eas the bathroom as a whole it needs updated and the toilet didnt want to flush you have to hold down the handle.

Will be the hotel I choose everytime I come to San Antonio! Loved how close it was to the riverwalk, didn’t even have to use the car
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place.

I always have a fantastic day at this hotel. It’s a small hotel so you don’t have to walk very far. It’s quiet it’s clean. The staff is always very kind. Sarah that works at the front desk was beyond helpful. She gave me everything I needed. Give me some good tips on places to eat and was very kind.

It was quiet and felt like a home away from home. Staff was very courteous . Check in/check out was easy.
Alana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

1st time there thought it would be a little more interesting.
Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location was great, close to the riverwalk and easy access to get around. Love staying at older historic hotels. Receptionist that checked us in was awesome and very nice to talk to. Room maintenance and housekeeping was lacking. Found trash left under the side of the bed and the bathroom repairs (or lack of) on the ceiling were subpar even for an older hotel.
Micheal, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice staff, interesting hotel.
Samantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is a historic place, so don't expect a high-class hotel. The hotel was amazing, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was walking distance to the River Walk. The hotel was clean, quiet, and best of all, the staff were great! I will definitely go back.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

No complaints!

6/10 Good

Very friendly staff
James, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

The stay was overall good. I’d say the parking was terrible. We parked across the street for less. I would think parking would be discounted. The common areas were very hot. We couldn’t enjoy the common area for sure. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. I wish the rooms had better lighting.

Good location and relatively reasonable price
Ce, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We reserved rooms months ahead and requested them to be next to one another since we're traveling with a person with special needs. The request was not honored, instead we were on different floors entirely. Rooms were nice and clean. Area was good, only 2-minute walk to the Riverwalk.
