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.

Staff didn’t really know what they were doing. They didn’t register my car for overnight parking even after taking down my license plate twice. The room was dingy and bed comforter was super thin. Phone in room didn’t work to even call the front desk for another one.

I chose this hotel based on location. Several friends also stayed at this hotel. It is very convenient to the Riverwalk. The room itself was fine. The bathroom was clean. The key issue with my room the AC was set very low so the room was freezing cold. There was no way to adjust it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I enjoyed the convenience of the hotel and how close it was to every thing. The staff were friendly and nice. I didn’t understand how I payed $20 for parking through hotel and still paid $60 for parking through the garage which was the designated parking area for hotel. My room when booking stated jetted tub which was not what we had got or if that is even available due to the hotel being old but so is much of San Antonio. Overall I really enjoyed the convenience of the hotel. I do feel a little mislead with the original description of hotel and parking.

Dropping off luggage is a big pain. You have to pull off the main street and hurry up and get your stuff out of your vehicle. Then you have to park in a parking garage which is about a block away and then on top of all that the elevator was out of service and we were on the third floor very old hotel
