This hotel is absolutely lovely! I will definitely return. The room we had was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable. The view from the bedroom was really nice as well. Access to the Riverwalk was right outside the rear exit of the hotel -- very convenient! All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful -- Thurston with the concierge desk especially. We moved to another hotel for the latter part of our trip to San Antonio, but quickly realized that was a huge mistake and wished we had stayed put. The restaurant level provides a very cozy & chill vibe to hang out. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

The hotel is in a great location and the staff were all friendly. The room itself was quiet and nicely decorated. But it was in disrepair. The shower was the worst—fixtures separated from the tile, mildew on the grout, poor water pressure (“poor” meaning water actually stopped flowing several times during showers). The shower curtain had holes in it. The bedroom curtains weren’t attached to the wands. One of the barstool chairs in the living area was very rickety, and the base of the coffee table was cracked. The fitness center needs treadmills replaced; one wasn’t working at all and several buttons on the other were malfunctioning. There were no wipes or spray to wipe down the machines and mats, so the whole place looked and felt dirty.

Beautiful hotel. Super clean. Breakfast was delicious. The pool was warm in January which was nice. We appreciated the safety measures including key access only to the elevators. Every single staff member greeted us or spoke kindly. We will be back. It was great being steps away from the Riverwalk.
