I will start by saying this is not our first stay here. If you like older charming decor, this is the place for you! It is an older building with older decor, but clean. The staff is friendly, room clean and nicely cooled. The bed so comfy, best sleep! Parking garage right next to the building and the riverwalk is walking distance, which is convenient.

paid parking was in the garage next door, but the cheapest in the riverwalk area of San Antonio. This is an older historic building (well maintained), so slight gaps in the balcony door is to be expected (but such a nice balcony with a view to take in a snack or just gaze at the view!) Wonderful staff and the coffee was great! You do get a microwave and fridge if you are trying to be thrifty with the wonderful San Antonio food, especially the Thai place next door.

Nice stay overall. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location next to the riverwalk was a big plus. There are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. However, the room lighting wasn’t great, and I did find bugs inside the room, which was disappointing.
