Close enough to the River yet a block away from the crowds. Lovely facility and they continue to reinvest and upgrade the rooms. Absolutely recommend and will return on my next visit.

5 minute walk to the river walk and a 10 minute drive from the AT&T Center

My boyfriend and I stayed here because we were going to see a Spurs game and then afterwards we wanted to walk to the river walk. Check in went great, the hotel staff was very friendly. The hotel does have a VERY small lot right across the street from the hotel (10 cars fit in the entire lot) and they charge $10 a night to park there. We weren't able to find a spot in the hotel lot but there was a large parking lot a block over from the hotel that was $5 a day after 3pm I believe or $10 before 3pm. So that wasn't that big of a deal at all to us. We went to the spurs game and it was a very short 10 minute drive to the AT&T Center. After the game we went back to the hotel to change and then headed to the river walk to meet some friends. It was only about a 5 minute walk to the river walk. I would definitely stay here again :)

"happily surprised"

When we drove up we were a bit skepticle but once inside and after staying we were very happy. The room was nice,clean and well appt'd. The balcony offered a nice place to sit and enjoy the day or evenings and get a bit of fresh air. The breakfast was good consisting of juice,milk,coffee,tea, muffins, waffles, cereal,toast,bagels, fruit,energy bars and more. The staff was friendly and helpful. The riverwalk was a block and a half away and the most action and eating places was about 5 blocks away. Would stay here again and would recommend to anyone.

The hotel was nothing exceptional. It was located nicely to the Alamo and River walk. Some of the staff seemed to know nothing about the area and could not answer questions we had.

Close to the river.

I thought it was nice for the price great location for dinner, drinks, short walk back to the room. Small room but nice. If you plan on staying in an relaxing watching TV or other... It will work out great. No view. We had a nice dinner on the river and a walk back to the room safe quite walk no problems. It worked out well.

it's all good

We went to San Antonio just to spend a night on the Riverwalk. The hotel was very convenient - just a block away. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Front desk was friendly and helpful. No complaints. Everything was just as expected.

As other reviews mention, parking can be a challenge. However, we called ahead and the front desk was helpful in sharing lot locations, rates, and in/out policies.

just ok...nothing spectacular

For a high end hotel, the amenities just did not live up to satisfaction. It was just ok. The reason I chose this hotel over comparable hotels in the area is they only charged $10 for parking verses up to $30 which seems outrageous.
