Great location. Older hotel so we could hear all the noise from the street

Loved that it was close to Riverwalk but far away where you could still have some peace and quiet.

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.

This was probably the worst horel stay. The best was horrible, the balcony shown all the light possible due to the internal window blinds not blocking the light. The noise outside made it hard to sleep.

The gentleman at the counter was very helpful when we checked in but once we did check we saw a large amount of homeless and heavy drug-use looking people going in and out of the elevator to a higher up room constantly. Only issue other than readiness of the room

The young lady who checked us in was amazing! So incredibly friendly and helpful.
The hotel has a wonderful vibe ... definitely aligned with the San Antonio feel.
The hotel is located at the edge of downtown providing quick and easy access to the river walk AND easy in/out access for arrival and leaving.
be aware that the hotel doesn't have a bar or restaurant ... but there are one or two of those nearby!

Did not have additional blankets for use and the room was really cold. Uncomfortable night for sure. Was adjusting the AC but could never get it warm enough for comfort
