Comfy and convenient

It's right on the River Walk. The restaurant, Canarias, is a superb, fine dining experience. They have an outdoor pool in a lovely setting. The staff was very professional, nice and efficient. The beds are comfortable. Housekeeping was efficient and unobtrusive. Valet parking worth it for the convenience. Lovely experience.

Outstanding Location; Just an ok room

The location on the RiverWalk can't be beat. The room, however, while clean and nice enough, was very dark, not really modern and somewhat made spending time in it a "downer". We overall enjoyed our stay, but will look for a different hotel on the RIverWalk for our next stay

Great hotel!

This is a great hotel and the location on the Riverwalk could not have been better. The staff is friendly and courteous, and they met our every need. In addition, the history of the property is very interesting. Ventage photographs of the time when it was St. Mary's College decorate the hallways. It was a very enjoyable stay.

If you enjoy Mexican food, you have to try Rio Casa and Cafe Ole, both on the river a short walk from La Mansion.

LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

ARRIVED AT NOON AND WAS GIVEN A ROOM IMMEDIATELY EVEN THOUGH CHECK IN WAS AT 3. ENTIRE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY. HOTEL IS IN THE PERFECT LOCATION, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER WALK. ROOM WAS LARGE VERY CLEAN AND LOVED THE PATIO OVERLOOKING POOL. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO EVERYONE. DIDN'T USE ANY OF THE HOTEL FACILITIES SO CAN'T COMMENT ON THEM. WAS HOPING FOR A RIVER VIEW ROOM BUT AFTER COMPARING OUR PATIO TO THERE'S I WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH THE POOL VIEW. RIVER PATIO IS SMALL CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE 2 PPL, BUT THE POOL VIEW PATIO WRAPS AROUND ENTIRE FLOOR WITH DOUBLE FRENCH DOORS.

Perfect five night stay - great location!

Location, location, location! This hotel is in the perfect spot to enjoy numerous restaurants on the Riverwalk. We also walked to the Alamo, Ripley's museums, Market Square, and Rivercenter Mall. All hotel staff were extra helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived. Our room was quiet, even though a couple of larger groups were registered in the hotel.

Mi Tierra Restaurant in Market Square has reasonably priced, excellent authentic Mexican cuisine. It was suggested to us by one of the bellmen.

Very Nice Hotel

A really great location right on the river walk. There is always plenty of friendly staff on hand to help with questions. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable and the curtains make the room nice and dark for sleeping late. The drinks were really good but a bit on the expensive side. We will certainly choose them again.

For authentic, reasonably-priced mexican food (breakfast rocks!) try Blanco Cafe on St. Mary's Street.

Wonderful Experience

Very positive experience. In fact, I requested a room change upon check-in and the hotel staff was very accomodating and provided an upgrade without any hesitation. Two small lighting problems inteh room were fixed within hours of calling teh front desk. Everyone (from cleaning staff, bellmaen to front desk staff) was extremely friendly and professional. I was treated by everyone with the upmost respect and courtesy. The Las Carnarias restaurant is world-class. The service and food was outstanding! The outside seating is on the riverwalk promenade and makes for a very pleasant dining experience. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Anniversary trip

we went to San Antonio to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. The hospitality was amazing! The room was very clean and spacious with a wonderful view of the river walk. I would definitely recommend the Omni del Rio to anyone wanting to get the feel of San Antonio and the hospitality that you expect.

The SaltGrass steak house has fantastic steak, service and is very affordable. You don't have to spend $200 to get a great meal. Again, the service was amazing...we went twice.
