Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is the worse hotel, not only old but dated, not taken care of. No breakfast offered but you can walk 4=5 blocks to ihop! The bathroom tub faucets were rusted out unable to use the claw foot tub! But they didn’t have any hot water for the 2 days we stayed, we advised the staff but just got the run around and lies. They did not offer to discount or comp any of the days, We paid for parking in the back, handicap, and the staff parked in it ! I bet she did not pay for parking. As far as the balcony there is not any way you can see the river walk, but you have a good view of the trashy neighborhood, parking lot!!! Don’t waste your money We made reservations through Expedia they also got an ear full too!!

Bed not comfortable. Pillows awful. Our room was right next to the lobby, talking, vacuuming, loud staff all night. Parking cost unreasonable. I thought it would be a cute, historic hotel, instead it was run down, noisy, and uncomfortable.

Location, location, location. The hotel is showing its age with plumbing and electrical all in need of major renovations. The staff are very pleasant, the beds comfortable. I like the proximity to La Villita shops and the River Walk. Cheapest and best parking in downtown hotels.

I walked in the door and was immediately smacked with a chemical odor that was worse in my room. We had to leave immediately. Maybe it was a one off for the O'Brien, but i wont be back. The woman at the desk was nice and sympathetic.
