Turn-of-the century charm, near convention center and HemisFair Park
Originally built in 1906, the Fairmount Hotel San Antonio was saved the fate of demolition and moved five blocks in 1985, earning a space in the Guinness Book of World Records. The hotel reopened in 1986 and was renovated in 2006. This Victorian gem is loaded with turn-of-the-century charm, and is located between the Convention Center and HemisFair Park.

Convenient Location
When looking for hotel accomodations for a recent convention in San Antonio, the Fairmount showed up on my list. At first, the proximity to the convention center caught my attention, and then I remembered that this was the hotel that had been moved through downtown San Antonio to its present location on S. Alamo. The combination of the location and the historic background made the decision easy.When I arrived at the hotel, I was greeted by friendly and polite personnel including Luke the concierge, a Lab mix that was rescued by the owners. The occasional greeting by Luke made this hotel stay feel more like home to me. The furnishings and decorating created an atmosphere of luxury that transported one to the past. I found this a welcome change from the typical hotel decor.The one thing I missed was an option for breakfast. The in-house restaurant did not open until ll:00 a.m., and there was no continental breakfast offered. A coffee maker was available in the room, but other hotels offer that and at least a continental breakfast.All things considered, my stay was very enjoyable.

Pitiful, very bad, disgraceful
We attended a banquet, walk on the Riverwalk, visited the Hemisphere Park,we really enjoyed San Antonio.We checked in and went to our room.The closet had a strong urine ordor, also all the pillows and sheets were infested with that urine ordor. We told the front desk about our experience and they immediately gave us another room.Guess what? Yes, this room was the same. The smell of urine was overwhelming, the shower was very dirty,globs of hair in the drain, the furniture is not antique, it was just really old and ragged.

Great place to stay!
This is a wonderful, quiet refuge away from the Riverwalk. You are near all attractions, including across the street from La Villita, but without the noise. It's a small hotel with lots of character and history. The staff are super friendly and there is a great dog who lives there. I would definitely stay here again. Also, the rooms are spacious and the bed was fantastically comfy, as was the A/C!

The Fairmount Hotel
While the bedroom was comfortable and nice there was dust on the headboard, the bathroom was clean except for the ceiling and the ventilation duct which was covered in dust There was some type of water leak on the ceiling and it was bubbling the paint. The main entrance and furniture is old and dirty appearing and the smell from Luke the big dog( I am a dog lover) but the lobby had a musty dog smell. The staff was great and the value was good. Don't expect Fairmont hotel here this is completely different!

Enjoyed my stay
I was there to attend a continuing education course. The hotel was located right off the river walk and was close to everthing you'd want to go to. The service was excellent. Only down side was that there was no continental breakfast.
