It was clean and close to the river walk. We did not have hot water in our first room they moved us to another and still iffy on hot water after changing rooms. The place could definitely do with an updated remodel. The staff were great about this water issue.

Wonderful little hotel, incredible location right on the Riverwalk. The only real complaint I have is about the parking- the communications I received led me to believe parking would be free, but they wanted to charge me $26 a day to park in the garage adjacent to the hotel. You can (and I did) find cheaper parking on the same city block, though, so it’s not a huge issue. Just be aware if you book here.

Stayed here for our 35th Anniversary and the service was wonderful. The young lady Sarah at the front desk was the most pleasant person. We will definitely stay here again. Only a block from the Riverwalk

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.

Great easy check in. Parking is right next door. This place was quaint and quiet. Walking distance to the Alamo and the river walk. Balcony was nice to hang out on. Comfortable bed slept great. Had a fridge that was handy for Coke and water. The AC unit was great and quiet.

This was literally the worst hotel. No way was it boutique. It was filthy, the mattress was about 2” thick, the tv’s came on at random. I was told it was because of poor reception. The “private balcony “ was non existent. Just a long balcony separated by chains. The bathroom and common areas were filthy. I went to my room and immediately left. The property refused to return my money. Strongly do not recommend!

Very nice atmosphere. Love the way the heals were decorated very cozy. Could use some renovations. The ceiling in restroom had a bad patch up job and around the AC unit . That did not bother us just feel like it would make such a big difference. For some renovations
