The hotel was cute and full of characters. We love the friendly staff. It was literally walking distance from riverwalk, la villita area. Parking was next to the hotel, easy access but do call ahead during holiday seasons because the garage is public parking. The hotel was not very well sound proofed and they do not offer breakfast, only light snacks and bottled beverages. It is a cashless hotel, but you must tip housekeeping cash, they will not let you leave them tips on your credit card.

I understand this is a historic hotel but the hotel is run down. The bed is outdated. The bedding looked worn. Pillows weren’t comfortable. Our room door u could see the inside of the room without even opening it. Same with the balcony door. The tub knobs only one worked. We couldn’t even use the bath option because it didn’t work. The restroom door creaked so loud that it won’t up my son in the middle of the night. The room just felt musty and old. You could see the dust on the plastic around the lamp shades. The day that we were leaving I woke up with a bug bite mark on my neck that wasn’t there before i went to bed. I would happily offer my services to freshen up the entire hotel. They have lots of outdated decor and everything just looks worn down.

The staff was very nice upon check in. The staff when I called to reserve parking was not extremely helpful and did not explain that the parking area was as labeled public parking. The hotel was very cute and clean. I booked a king bed with a balcony view and received 2 double beds with balcony view. The balcony was less than I expected after seeing the pictures online. In hindsight I should have requested the room I booked because the double beds were hard as a rock and the sheets felt like sandpaper. (Same for the towels). The showers had hot water for the first few minutes and so so water pressure. If you are planning a trip to San Antonio and only want a place to sleep within a very reasonable dollar amount - then yes stay here. But don’t expect a luxury stay in a historic hotel like I did.

The balcony was the only nice thing. Checking in and out, they are not friendly. We were also charged a deposit. The mattress was very uncomfortable and old, you could feel wires. i didn't mind the western look but there was furniture that was loose and the toilet moved around. Walls are thin, very small rooms. Room was clean and air conditioner worked.

Staff was fine. Location was fine. But…. The room…. Where to start. Had jetted tub and it leaked and wouldn’t stay full. Caulking is all gone or cracked with mold behind the toilet. Bath fan doesn’t work. Tv would not turn on, had to do it by hand. Then remote would work to change channels but not volume. And have to get up to turn off. Even after 3 different remotes. Room next door leaked water in on the floor in our room. They put a towel on it…. You can hear everything through the bath vents that don’t work from two rooms down. Clearly hear conversations. So… not a great stay.
