... Booked this hotel for its location on the Riverwalk - which it is and very close to a boat stop. The outside and lobby area look decent but the check-in staff were rude and disinterested. I was greeted with "Yes?" ... no hello, how are you or any pleasantry. I gave my details and halfway through the booking in... More

My husband & I absolutely love this hotel. It is my favorite by far. We have stayed here at least 6 times in the last year and keep going back. I've stayed for my birthday, Christmas weekend, Mothers day & several others. I've never had a complaint and I always look forward to going back. The pool is fabulous with... More

I always read reviews before I go anywhere and I always say the same things to myself..."some of the people that write some of these reviews must be some of the most unhappiest and/or uptight people in the world". We stayed at the hotel during our birthdays and couldn't have asked for a better place. Yes, the place was older,... More

I stumbled upon this hotel on my third trip to San Antonio last year. I loved it. Walked out the front door and down to to the river level to catch the Rio Taxi or the Trolley (bought tickets for the trolley at the front desk). The hotel itself is obviously older, the rooms were well maintained, the lobby beautiful,... More

Dining facities were available as well, so if you needed a bite to eat. Breakfast was a full breakfast and we received ours free. There was a major issue with the water... More

This hotel lends itself to a wide variety of venues: it is on the River, on the Trolley Line, close to restaurants, downtown etc. It is an excellent hotel for groups, family reunions, business meetings etc.

To far to walk downtown. The hallways were stuffy and the ac in our room would not shut off. Would never stay their again. Did have view of the river. But only one elevator going to the 3rd floor and had to go almost in a full circle to get to room. Staff was great and housekeeping was nice too.

We recently stayed at this hotel. We felt it was WAY overpriced. The lobby looks nice but the rooms are disguisting. The showers were old and dirty and the rooms were not impressive. Our shower head was broke and so was the stopper. Then when I turned the shower on the water came out of the wall and started to... More
