Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was in a great location. They arranged parking right next door in a ramp for $25 a day. Front desk helpful. I checked in online with QR code but she didn’t utilize. So I’m not sure why this was sent. Bed and pillows were comfy. Water pressure adequate. It was clean. Some of it a bit beat up but i guess that goes with “historic” Would stay again due to great location and parking situation.

Stayed here for our 35th Anniversary and the service was wonderful. The young lady Sarah at the front desk was the most pleasant person. We will definitely stay here again. Only a block from the Riverwalk

10/10 Exceptional

Room is very clean the staff were very helpful and friendly and gave us suggestions when we adk about things to do and places to eat. The only complaint about the room eas the bathroom as a whole it needs updated and the toilet didnt want to flush you have to hold down the handle.
Hailley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have stayed before and it is a great historic building. Bed was comfortable and the room was great. Just a block away from the river walk. They do charge $26 for parking, which is high.

Sylvia, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

PARKING WAS A SCAM. DOUBLE CHARGED. NO ABILITY TO CORRECT.
Elsa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great easy check in. Parking is right next door. This place was quaint and quiet. Walking distance to the Alamo and the river walk. Balcony was nice to hang out on. Comfortable bed slept great. Had a fridge that was handy for Coke and water. The AC unit was great and quiet.
Wendy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This place was ok but what is very off putting is the list of prices of things should you damage or even get makeup on them. For starters the towels have been around as long as the hotel it would seem i assume this is because no one wants to get charged for using them. The place wasnt that clean to be fair new white socks on there carpet came out dirty. This type of thing just puts people on edge i didnt enjoy the hotel at all and would not return
keith, 2-night trip

Hotel was really good. Only big issue was road noise.
