10/10 Exceptional

I always love staying at the O’Brien. A very cute small hotel. Close to every place I like to visit when in San Antonio.
Gloria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall good stay

Hotel was as expected, great location to everything. Comfy bed.
Kenlie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very pleasant stay! The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. While the building has an older charm, the rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The location is fantastic—close to many great restaurants and attractions. Although breakfast isn’t offered, it wasn’t a problem for us given the variety of nearby options. Parking was conveniently located and reasonably priced, just something to keep in mind when planning your stay. A big thank you to the staff for their excellent hospitality!
Carolyn, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

As a whole hotel was super comfortable. Nice bed, restroom, ac, etc. With that being said rooms as a whole need to be updated, or just fixed up. You can look at the walls and see previous holes in the drywall that have been patched but not a good job what’s so ever. Just little details that catch my eye that could use some reworking. Other than the little things it’s a nice place.

Close to Riverwalk and La Villita

The elevator was working, so that was good. It was a few minutes walk from the Riverwalk. Covered parking garage, with in and out privileges, was next door to the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel had a mildew smell. I believe it contributed to my sore throat the next morning. The shared balcony was a nice place to relax.

Adorable hotel in a great location. Clean room, friendly staff, easy checkin. Very happy!
Aubrey, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel notified me that they were having elevator problems. I didn’t get the message since I was traveling. Upon arrival, staff was very apologetic, and efficient in getting me the best accommodation on the first floor. That was most appreciated and they also secured parking for me at their cost because of the inconvenience.
Rosemary, 2-night trip

Solo trip

Loved that it was close to Riverwalk but far away where you could still have some peace and quiet.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

I chose this hotel based on location. Several friends also stayed at this hotel. It is very convenient to the Riverwalk. The room itself was fine. The bathroom was clean. The key issue with my room the AC was set very low so the room was freezing cold. There was no way to adjust it.
Sam, 2-night trip

Albert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed the convenience of the hotel and how close it was to every thing. The staff were friendly and nice. I didn’t understand how I payed $20 for parking through hotel and still paid $60 for parking through the garage which was the designated parking area for hotel. My room when booking stated jetted tub which was not what we had got or if that is even available due to the hotel being old but so is much of San Antonio. Overall I really enjoyed the convenience of the hotel. I do feel a little mislead with the original description of hotel and parking.
