I like that it was walking distance to the Alamo plus the Riverwalk. Parking was next-door and it was an average of $25 a night. The only thing that I had an issue with it was raining and cold and there was no way to turn on the heater in the room plus the TV remote was not working and there was no way of watching the television while I was in the room. Breakfast was average , they had powdered eggs which you can tell by the texture and the taste. You’re better off going to the McDonald’s down the street to get a better breakfast.

Parking was valet only, and somehow we received a parking ticket in the mail. When we tried to call the hotel we can not get ahold of anyone or it immediately disconnects us. Very angry about this because our vehicle was in their possession at the time of the ticket.

The stay was great! Comfy beds and clean. What I didn't like was staying on the 1st floor, street level. Had I known this I would not have booked. I did inquire about moving to an upper level, but there was no available rooms. Parking was also a separate fee. This should have been taken care of by the property. Overall we had a great trip!

The hotel is old, obviously, and our room was a small one. But I quickly realized that it felt more like staying with family than just having a hotel room — everyone was so astonishingly kind and helpful and friendly. The restaurant is really good — both the generous breakfast and the Indian restaurant they operate later in the day. They talked to my curious teenagers and took an interest in their wellbeing — even adjusting the spiciness of the food for my heat-loving son. I would definitely stay there again.

Difficult finding parking on a weekend. Unsafe rooms with door gaps that can see into the hallway. The breakfast is in the same room as the Indian Resturant they have at night and as a pregnant woman I could not stand the smell in the mornings, I would literally gag walking downstairs and you can smell it in your room through the vents after 5pm. We had a handicap room that had stairs after you get off the elevator. I understand you are downtown so you hear music but this was a different level of loudness, it felt as if the windows were open. Very dirty carpets.

It was almost as if we were catfished. These pictures are very different from the actual appeal of the hotel. The rooms are small and the tubs appear dirty because of the grips in the bottom of the tub/shower, and everywhere is dimly lit (the lobby, the rooms, the hallways) not sure if this was on purpose or not. The soap dispenser in the bathroom fell off the wall and dripped soap all over our toiletries in the middle of the night. There was hair all in the towels and tub when we first arrived. However, the staff members were very accommodating and friendly, and so was valet! The breakfast selection was limited but did the job, however breakfast is from (7-9am) just fyi. The Riverwalk is a quick scooter (3-5 min) scooter ride. The stay was okay for the price...

We were somewhat disappointed in the breakfast selections. We used Valet Parking and it cost us $45 plus tax for one night. Pricey but I guess it was worth it to have secure parking.The room was a bit small but, since it is a historic building, it was managable and it was very clean and comfortable. Our only disappointment is that the windows appear original to the building so they are single pane. We heard road noise all night. Bed was comfy but the noise kept waking us up.

The room was small, but nice. No need for wasted space. The view was a roof, so nothing special there. The amenities were nice - refillable bottles on the walls with sandalwood essence. There were cute touches like fancy tissues and a flower made of toilet paper.
Things like caulk lines were wonky and not pristine, not a big deal. You can tell the building is old and has been modified.
The floor downstairs could use a grout cleaning, and the restaurant floor was sticky. Those are my only complaints. The elevator is TINY so if you aren't a fan of elevators then that might bother you. It was walking distance from the Greyhound terminal.

Our stay was good,everyone was curtious and the room was very good. The one thing that ruined our stay was the noxious odor from whatever you spray 24/7 in the entire hotel. It made me feel sick,i wheezed and had to use my inhaler because that air deodorizer is not necessary and it's bad for the environment! Stop,please stop using that.

This hotel was great!! They advised us on more reasonably priced parking a very short walk from the Hotel and when we had a plumbing issue in our room that they could not fix immediately, they moved us to a new room.
The location was PERFECT!! A very short walk to the Riverwalk. Lots of food options nearby, and quiet!!

Be ready for intense smells. They have diffusers throughout the hotel, which isn’t ideal for anyone with migraines. The rooms are small but walkable and cheaper than other hotels downtown. The water pressure in the shower for hot water was terrible. Nowhere to park that doesn’t cost $85 a night Probably would stay again.

The elevators are super small. If you stay with kids, be aware that there is a side of rooms that face the street which is full of nightclubs and bars. The music blared until 2 AM. We asked to change rooms but they said they were full. They should have the courtesy to put families on the side of rooms that doesn’t face the street- but they didn’t. However, the Indian food restaurant had delicious food!

The pool was not indoor as it is advertised. Ice cold water, was sad to not be able to swim as we thought. All night long there was a “alcohol party” as the front desk called so loud we could hear the music, microphone, and people it happening right below and behind our room. Front desk told us it would end at 9:30/10 and continued well after 1am on a weeknight. Could also hear/smell people smoking right at our window through night as well. Overall very poor experience.

This property was okay, but overall a disappointment. I'll break it down to Pros and Cons for you.

Pros:

Location: Unbelievable location. It is two blocks walk to The Alamo and four blocks walk to the Riverwalk. That can't be beat.

Breakfast: The included breakfast was as good as you'll get at a hotel of this level; warm eggs and bacon, pancakes, cereal, yogurt, etc. No waffle maker, but that's fine. Also, the breakfast is served in the part of the hotel that is normally an actual restaurant meaning for the first time in my experience, there were PLENTY of tables for the guests (no fighting for that one open table).

Beds: Beds and pillows are comfortable. No difficulty sleeping at all. Beds may have been a bit smaller than an average Queen size, but not noticeably.

Shower: The shower includes a tub. We didn't take a bath, but the nice part about the combo is that you can set the shower water temperature perfectly BEFORE you switch it to the overhead shower. No more standing in freezing or boiling water waiting for the temperature to settle.

Cons:

Room Size. The room is small. I mean... small. The refrigerator is in the closet and you can't actually open the closet all the way to get to it because it smacks against the bed. We asked the staff if there was something that could be done, but they pointed out there was literally no space to move the bed at all. Stuck.

Cleaning: Although the hotel is definitely clean (no stains or smells), if you want...

Location of this hotel was very convenient for exploring the area. Our room and beds were clean and the staff were very friendly. The small hot breakfast buffet was a great start to each day.

One thing to be aware of is that this hotel’s pool is not heated and was very cold during our stay in march. The pool is technically indoors, but has no roof above it. Other than that, the pool area was nice and clean with chairs and tables provided.

I love old classic hotels. The room was very clean and cute. The only slight negative about our room was the lack of soundproofing. We were on the sixth floor and could hear everything on the street through the old, ancient windows. But we played a sound app on our phone to help cover the noise, so overall not a big deal. The front desk staff was exceptional. Very friendly :)

Customer service was perfect. Parking was very convenient. The room is small, but who cares because all we did is sleep. Hotel is located directly next-door to an amazing Indian restaurant. My only complaint I did not like was the fact that the toilet paper was a little bit rough from when they put decorations and it was hard to get use. But, the flower on top of it was a perfect touch. Check-in was nothing far from amazing great Customer Service checkout was mediocre. It was a Sunday morning, and the Guy really looked as if he was needed to be unbothered. Breakfast was great zero complaints full of carbs. Will stay again!!!

The walk into lobby floors had old porcelain like tile which when wet turned slippery. Bath towels were frayed, thin and not wide or long enough to make a difference. Also has only one set for two people for a 2 night stay. Had to request 2 times to have them bring new clean set an only 3 bath towels were brought to room. No wash cloths or face towels. Room had a musty smell and carpet wasnt clean. Room was extremely small which made moving around with 2 people a challenge. Bathroom had no vent fan so the steam from shower was on the counter, mirrors and everything. Phone receivers cord wasn’t holding and came off whenever I tried to use. Elevator was small and the luggage cart and 2 people was so tight, to where you had the lift the cart to put it in a position to be in the elevator. Remote for television was waste of time to use. It was generic and basic functions glitched. The staff was accommodating but overall condition of the interior of “hotel “was dingy, old and rundown. Breakfast as it was, shouldn’t been offered. Less than average variety and quality.
