Couples trip at the Hotel Contessa in San Antonio
Our stay was comfortable and nice with a great location in San Antonio. While the photos accurately describe the suites, the rooms were a bit tired with carpet that did not look or feel fresh as well as the furniture (tired and worn). Bed was comfortable as were pillows. Design of space great! I would say the value was not on par with cost - compared to other properties I looked at which did leave me feeling disappointed.

Love, love, love this hotel!
We always love staying at the Contessa. We are a middle aged couple with grown children and we take weekend trips here and there. We choose this hotel for its luxury feeling, convenience of area and everything located around it, but mostly the friendly staff from everyone from front desk to bartenders. The fact they remember us and seem always happy to see us makes our mini trips even better. I completely recommend this hotel for a comfortable & great stay!

This is as the best we found when we walked the Riverside Hotels. It was so friendly and bedroom was sooo comfortable. We were welcomed early and nothing was too much trouble. However you pay for what you get and it’s worth it! Highly recommended

The room was clean, large and nicely decorated and furnished. The handle of the sink was broken and the toilet did not work properly though.

Great location
The location is ideal for exploring the Riverwalk and downtown. The hotel is lovely, rooms comfortable and food and service were both great. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the bar closes very early, without warning or set times and even to hotel guests. It closed between 9-10pm each night. We were staying for New Year’s Eve and were told the bar would stay open until 1am for the occasion but when we returned to the hotel to get a drink to toast the new year the bar had already closed.

Just an okay getaway
The cleanliness was lacking. The bathroom mirror had toothpaste splatter all over it that I cleaned off. The shower was broken and didn’t drain well. Continually had to ask for more towels because the housekeepers would only leave two for two people. We were not made aware of the amenities such as room service until I called to ask if there was room service available. The hostess at the restaurant was so confused as far as where to seat people (restaurant or bar) and what type of service was available at each spot and then say us in the restaurant and came back in and said we couldn’t order from the happy hour menu because that was only available at the bar. But we couldn’t sit in the bar area because there weren’t any servers for the bar. Seemed extremely unorganized.
