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!

Solo trip
Loved that it was close to Riverwalk but far away where you could still have some peace and quiet.
Overall okay ,short walk to river but definitely away from most of the Riverwalk restaurants. Next to parking lots and parking structures. Ice machines were broken. Room wasn't ready until half hour after check-in.
The hotel was close to Riverwalk the staff was awesome from cleaning crew to front desk, especially Sarah at front desk very kind and helpful person. My son and I enjoyed our stay.

Front desk staff are always over worked. You always have to wait 15-30 minutes for everything, even a simple question.
