In selecting the O'Brien Historic Hotel, we were looking for a unique place with character and amenities. We were not disappointed. The room was very clean, comfortable, and quiet, even on the street side. We wondered how far it would be to the big sites along the Riverwalk, and were pleasantly surprised to find everything close by. We were very... More

REally enjoyed my stay, the room was beautifully decorated, the balcony was a plus. The only thing was that the door to the balcony was very hard to lock and on the last night I couldn't get it locked at all. Conveniently located near the Riverwalk. Hotel personnel were very friendly and helped me print my tickets for Fiesta Texas.... More

The O'Brien Hotel is comfortable and in a great location. The room was very nice with a whirl pool tub and bath robes. The half block to the River Walk was well lit and very busy even on a weeknight (Wednesday) so we took a stroll about 10pm, in the cool of the evening. The next day breakfast was OK,... More

This hotel was really nice on the inside. Had a balcony room during Fiesta in San Antonio. Very clean, check in went fine and fast. We stayed 2 nights and it is a very nice short walk to the River walk from the front door of the hotel. About 2 blocks. Very close to the restaurants and shopping. The mall... More

My son was attending a concert in SA so rather than driving back late at night (to Austin) we chose to stay overnight. Coincidentally, it was during Fiesta so it was packed everywhere. Not a problem, everything was very lively but it quieted down by 10:30 or 11:00. The problem was parking, which was very limited. The hotel's lot was... More

We stopped on the way south from the SXSW. Outside appearance does not look like much. Inside room second floor street side was excellent. Victorian furniture. Good service from the front desk. All the hot chocolate you can drink. Short walking distance to River Walk. Little longer to the Alamo. Good location. Balcony in back didn't interest us. Nice artist... More

The best about this hotel is the location, you can get to river just walking and if you go out at might, you can walk back to hotel, is really safe. The breakfast just fine, there's no much variety but you can just get coffee and a fruit or a waffle. The size of the rooms is appropriate, it's not... More

I stayed at the O'Brien Historic Hotel in downtown San Antonio, TX Wednesday April 17, 2013 and April 18, 2013. I would have to say this was the worst experience I have ever had at any hotel in any part of the United States. First off, construction in the back parking lot started at the break of dawn. They advertise... More

Very clean, great location, pleasant staff. Check in and check out were quick & easy. Even tho it's on a busy street, it wasn't noisy and we were steetside, but it wasn't a weekend night. Room was very nice & charming. Bathroom was clean, roomy and had all the amenities we needed. Lobby and common areas were open & clutter... More
