Hotel was in a good location with many attractions within walking distance. Car park was handy but overpriced. Breakfast was ok but very slow service. Seems understaffed. Room was ok but very noisy being at the front of the hotel on the main road. Overall the hotel served a purpose, and the price was good compared to others in the area. It’s a case of “you get what you pay for”.

The staff was friendly and check in was ok. But we certainly did not expect to have to pay $36 US dollars for parking. Once we were in our room we went to put our pop in the refrigerator and there was left over food from the guests before us, so gross. The bathroom floor had also not been mopped. Its an ok place but not great.

Convenient location and walkable but probably wouldn't stay here again. The elevators only fit one person and take forever. You can also hear nearly everything. We woke up to the sound of someone projectile vomiting.

Here is your sign to AVOID this hotel. The floors were dirty throughout the entire facility, extremely hot in the building, TINY elevator, there was pieces of food in the corner of my room, phone didn’t work, tv didn’t work, extremely small shower, paint peeling off of the doors and windows, the metal door stopper on the inside of the room only had one screw and was falling off, the room itself was extremely small, it smelled musty everywhere, stains on the ceiling, loud pipes in the bathroom, very thin walls, and the TV remote was grossly sticky. I immediately booked a different hotel down the street. Spend the extra money for a better hotel.

A.C. never worked in the room. They changed us rooms twice before getting a room that would cool down enough. Once I'm getting comfortable again in the third room, I noticed dried up puke on the bathroom door and carpet. I just gave up by then. There was no need to mention it the clerk. Obviously, these issues are acceptable to them.

Very nice "historic" hotel. Like many reviews, the room was small (just a 1 person walkway between bed and hanging cabinet), but worked for us. Highly recommend for single or couple in this king room. Bed was great and lamp access from each side, with charging ports/outlets. Bathroom/shower was great. Elevators were small (3-4 people at most) but quick and efficient. Some covered parking is available at guest cost.

Room was just average. There’s no mention of having to pay for parking although it is “available”. You’re close to downtown so lots of noise from local venues and locals. Most likely won’t stay here again just because it was average. Maybe in a pinch

The location of this hotel is perfect. Just a few blocks from the Riverwalk. However the rooms are extremely small just like the elevators. The elevators can barely fit two persons and one luggage. The bathroom door is horrible. You should not put a barn door that does not close entirely. That was one of the complaints I have.

Cozy place to come back to after being out for the evening. Had a queen room, the bedding was clean and plush, and the WiFi reliable on the 7th floor. Only trouble was that my sink was partially clogged and drained ridiculously slow so I had to do the bit of hand washing for my laundry half way through my trip in the shower instead.

Great location. Very cool historic building if you like that kind of thing like I do. Staff is very friendly and helpful. But you have to be OK with downtown noise. The windows are historic and therefore very thin and you can hear lots of City noise. Bring a white noise machine if you don't party during the night hours. Also the walls between units are a bit on the thin side. If someone is listening to loud music or screaming, you will hear them muffled. But honestly for the price it was a nice stay. Definitely more higher end than a budget hotel!

My check in was at 4pm, when I arrive at 3:50. I was told our room wouldn’t be ready until 5pm. We walked around the areas a bit, when we came back at 5 they said the room would not be ready until 6 or 6:30pm. We made a 5 hour drive to go to the game at 6:30pm. I as never able to check in, shower or anything. We had to go straight to the game because our room was not ready. After the game ended around 9pm, we drove 5 hours back home because this hotel could not clean a room that was reserved 2 weeks before arrival. The worst hotel experience of my life! -100 / 10 stars

First of all, check was easy and fast. They were able to provide concierge service for us that day - held our bags from early mid-morning arrival until whenever we returned in the afternoon when our room would be ready. Very friendly sand accommodating staff. Parking behind the building; they don't have any cameras out there but the brightest lights at night - seemed like probably the best/safest outside parking available in the area It's a short 4 minute walk to the Riverwalk area but through a couple of blocks of old downtown and great building and business access on that walk. Yes we had a great time on the Riverwalk, exploring the shops and restaurants, visiting the Alamo, etc, etc. Our room was very well appointed, all the amenities one needs, the bed was very comfortable (and I'm picky about beds!), the room was VERY clean - corner to corner. all window coverings, faucets, drains worked great, the street noise was negligent, the upgraded and recent reno's where high-end and topnotch. We really felt like we won a lottery staying at this Best Western; it was awesome for everything from it's location to it's parking to it's clean room and clean common areas and outstanding pleasant staff. Loved it!

Our room had wrappers left from previous guests and the bathroom had what looked to be pubic hair left behind. Great location but will never stay here again when in San Antonio.

Overall I enjoyed my stay. I have a little frustration. I called ahead of time for early check in and it wasn’t honored. Also the desk clerk did not welcome me in as I stood right in front of him and had to start the conversation myself. When I arrived I was told that the room was being cleaned. Also when I asked to go ahead and pay for my room while I waited I was told I could not. There were several plugs in my room that did not work and the lighting in the room was very dim. Honestly I would stay again as these were minor disappointments.

The staff was accommodating, the area was beautiful and was surrounded by many restaurants and bars. The optional parking pass sounds like a lot at $36 but you will end up paying more just trying to park in the area by yourself so I recommend the parking pass. The hotel in general was very nice and clean.

Customer service was OUTSTANDING. I felt well cared for and safe. The staff made be feel nothing was too big or too small of an ask. I asked my employer to book us all into this hotel next year for our conference dates. Well done!

So the rooms were clean and the location was awesome. Very close to downtown San Antonio and river walk within walking distance. The only things that seem to be misleading, was the valet parking. There wasn’t a valet to take the car which wasn’t a big deal because the parking lot was right next to the building. There was supposed to be a complimentary breakfast buffet but I was told that it was $10 in order to have a complementary breakfast buffet. The staff was very helpful and very accommodating, and I had a very pleasant stay.
