We stayed here on a Friday night before heading out to Fredericksburg. It's within walking distance of the Riverwalk and the Alamo. The newly remodeled foyer was modern and nice, though I thought a little dirty because of all the foot traffic. I think it could have used a bit more mopping. We stayed in Room 611, so we have...

Stayed at this location May 18. Newly renovated rooms were clean and very functional. The restaurant on the 2nd floor overlooks the river and you can walk down to it from there. The location is close to all the action both above and at the river level without being too close to the noise. The staff is freindly and ready... More

Very pleased with remodeled hotel - modern and well kept with a friendly helpful staff. It's located at a quiet location on the Riverwalk which puts it away from the busiest entertainment sections. However it is a stop for the water taxis and it's a very short walk to the heart of the action.Outdoor pool is heated but small (about... More

I have stayed at this hotel before and was pleased BUT this year was different. I did not like the renovations they have done. I was so disappointed that they did away with most of their balcony's (except in their suites). They added a nice TV stand which was built to hold a small refrigerator, which wasn't included. They no... More

We stayed here for 3 nights last month during Fiesta week. It is well situated for downtown San Antonio and there is parking available.

We are locals and decided to stay downtown in order to not have to fight traffic. The location is fine it is pretty much in downtown San Antonio. Within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and the Riverwalk is only a block away, but I could see if you are not from here the one way street maybe a bit confusing.... More

The hotel is very well located, a few blocks by walk from The Alamo and right in the riverwalk. It's clean, the rooms have a good size and they're clean (and they were very happy with the decoration - the photos are great). The staff is very kind.
