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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

The whole hotel needs updating , the room smelled like mold , the bed was hard as a rock .. places in the floor felt like they would give away and fall through any minute. It’s not worth the 120.09 a night to stay at . Plus you get charged 25.00 to park ..
