The hotel notified me that they were having elevator problems. I didn’t get the message since I was traveling. Upon arrival, staff was very apologetic, and efficient in getting me the best accommodation on the first floor. That was most appreciated and they also secured parking for me at their cost because of the inconvenience.

Close to Riverwalk and La Villita

The elevator was working, so that was good. It was a few minutes walk from the Riverwalk. Covered parking garage, with in and out privileges, was next door to the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel had a mildew smell. I believe it contributed to my sore throat the next morning. The shared balcony was a nice place to relax.

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.

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.
