Liked: Amenities
Room was dusty, send shreds didn’t have elastic so they would move easily and expose the mattress underneath. Our shower was leaking into our bedroom in room 412, so the carpet in the bedroom was soaked a maintenance had to come up to fix it. We had to advise the front desk twice before anything was done about it. We had an excellent stay here last year but after this year we may jus choose a different hotel for our next stay

Nice place right on river walk they are suites mine didn’t have a balcony. I had called to make sure they had a hot tub so I can unwind my last day in San Antonio they said yes so I booked. When I arrived they said hot tub was broken that was disappointing. They have valet unless you want to self park further down it’s cheaper. I was traveling with luggage & fam so paid the $60 valet but there was only 1 person working so took along time. They had happy hour drinks the tequila one was good!

The room was large and in 2 sections which i liked a lot. Love the art and the general cool boutique vibe. The lobby is a bit scented, like too much cologne but maybe that was just when we were there. Overall, a great stay on the Riverwalk and right near where we needed to be.

We enjoyed the hotel. It was beautiful and the room was well appointed. The concierge upgraded our room which we appreciated. However, I was less than impressed by the service. The valet area was busy and the valet team did not approach us to help. We unloaded our car and had to go over to one team member for help. Valet is $53 per night and I would expect a 4star hotel experience. Also, we requested a late check out (12 PM) the night before. However, housekeeping knocked on our door THREE times between 9 and 11:30. The last time asking when we were leaving. We did not get to enjoy our morning and ended up just leaving because we felt rushed. I was very disappointed by this. If service matched the hotel space, we would have rated this 5 stars. But great service is so important.
