I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were wonderful with beautiful decor and a nice view, although they could have been a bit more comfortable and cooler. The service was a mix of helpful and friendly, but disappointed me when they refused to provide a water bottle when the vending machines were not working. The location was perfect for exploring the Alamo and Riverwalk, just a short walk away, making it really convenient. The dining options were a bit limited for breakfast, but the overall experience was decent. The facilities were good, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel had a nice and quaint room, but it smelled of sewage, so we had to run the air conditioning to try to improve the odor. The room was a little small and lacked a refrigerator. The staff was the friendliest I've ever encountered, although they wanted us to wait to request our vehicle until we went downstairs. The location was excellent, being a central point to various events and conveniently close to restaurants, shops, and historic sites like the Alamo and Riverwalk. The dining experience was excellent with good coffee, but it was not included in the rate. Overall, the hotel offers a friendly and professional service in a historic setting.

The hotel exudes the historic charm of a 150-year-old establishment through its lovely decor, but cleanliness was a concern. The service was top-notch despite minor delays and construction. The location was superb for exploring downtown, although proximity to a utility room was a drawback. The dining experience was decent but could use improvement. Overall, a mixed experience with some great highlights.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Riverwalk and the Alamo, making it a great spot for exploring the touristy areas. While the room was nice, there were noticeable issues like water damage and lack of basic amenities. The service was top-notch with friendly staff, and the dining options, although limited, provided good value. The historical setting adds a unique touch to the overall stay.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to popular landmarks like The Alamo Shrine and the Riverwalk. The rooms, while small, had a light and open feeling with high ceilings. However, the cleanliness, particularly the sticky carpet, was a downside during my stay.

The hotel's location is superb, right by the Alamo and within walking distance to the Riverwalk and shopping center. Rooms were warmer than I like in a wet bathing suit and weren't ready, but the staff moved us to a newer part with a balcony and pool view. Service from the counter staff was friendly and efficient. The dining experience offered wonderful quality and a vast assortment, especially for breakfast. The location was very convenient for exploring downtown.

The hotel's location is superb, just steps from the Alamo and within walking distance of the mall, riverwalk, and restaurants. The service was excellent, but there was some inconsistency at check-in. The rooms were uncomfortably warm due to restricted AC control and lacked expected amenities, like a single queen bed. Dining options were pricey and not up to par. The property could benefit from an interior makeover.

The hotel had a few drawbacks, like the room not being ready early and the smaller size compared to what we expected. The water temperature in the shower was difficult to manage, and the lack of a microwave was inconvenient. On the positive side, the staff was very helpful and the location was perfect, close to many attractions.

The hotel serves superb food and excellent buffets for breakfast and lunch. The rooms were clean, with nice new bathrooms, but a bit too bright for sleeping. The service was very friendly, informative, and personalized. The location was perfect for all activities, just off the River Walk.
