• The friendly staff.
• It is difficult to find.

“The outside does not do justice to the inside. It has been remolded and is small but very nice. The midnight staff is very friendly and helpful.”

• Free parking in a very busy Downtown area, located an easy walk to River walk, good breakfast, small and very adequate room.
• The help was very good, but not very knowledgeable about San Antonio - roads, events going on etc.

“Recommend it highly to anyone traveling who wanted be near the River walk, but not in a very expensive big chain. Parking was free and great. They stored our bags for the day while we toured and we left the car parked for free too.”

• It was close to the river walk.
• Room was hot.

“The room was very hot and the old air conditioner didnt work well. The window to the room could not be locked because the old lock had been broken. The toilet ran the whole time we were there. I went down the fire exit stairs and found all kinds of storage under the stairs, including chemicals (Big Time Fire Hazard).”

• Clean, quite atmosphere.
• They charge $10.00 per day for parking.

“Good hotel, good location. Biggest downfall, they charge their guest $10.00 per day to park at their hotel. Parking is also limited (only 20 parking spaces). If you pay for your parking and you leave the lot, you may not have a spot when you get back and they will not refund your $10!”

• Very lovely and comfortable.
• Parking and location was horrible.

“I loved the hotel room. It was very lovely and comfortable. However, the location and parking was horrible. It took 45 minutes to find a parking spot. There is not enough spots and they charge $10 a day for parking. That wasn't so bad, but there was no place to pull up and check in. There area is very congested with traffic and I had to drive around for 45 minutes to find a spot because other areas that offered parking were full. The room made up for all the aggravation in the end.”

• Very good downtown location at a good price.
• Very limited on-site parking. Not enough spaces for all rooms.

“A nice "boutique" hotel (older hotel redone by a hotel chain.) Rooms were small but comfortable, and ideal for downtown San Antonio visitors like us that really only used the room to sleep in. Parking is a BIG problem. The hotel has 39 rooms, but probably fewer than 20 parking spaces. Do what we did - grab a space, walk or take the bus/trolley, and keep your space until you leave!”

• Excellent location.
• None.

“The hotel does not look attractive from the outside. The hotel lobby is so small, that I initially thought we were not in a hotel. However, the location (all attractions pretty much walking distance), the friendliness of staff, the cleanliness of the facility and our room, plus the nice coffee maker (different choices, e.g. Latte, decaf, etc.) And free continental breakfast downstairs made our hotel stay comfortable (and oh, there's coffee maker in our room too, a hair dryer, 2 bathrobes and decent toiletries). I will recommend this place to friends/relatives and will use again if given the chance.”

• The place was filthy, mold on the shower curtain. There was a gap in the door to the balcony about an inch wide. A boy scout with a pocket knife could.

“Horrible beyond all belief. The first night there was an insect, about 2 to 3 inches long crawling on the ceiling above the bed. The night manager came in and "escorted" it out of the room. I told him that it came into our room thru the gap in the door that led to the outside. He said he would have it fixed (it never was, he lied). The next morning we noticed that the shower curtain was covered with mold (my wife has allergy induced asthma) I asked that the shower curtain be replaced. We were told that it couldn't be replaced until the next day. That day I had to almost threaten them to get our room made up. At 7 pm it was done. We still did not have a shower curtain. I had to take the curtain off and go down to the lobby where a lot of people were having breakfast and dump it on the lobby desk and demand a clean shower curtain. What a horrid place. I took pictures of the moldy curtain and the gap in the door and would be glad to send them to you.”

• Location, fire ants, small room, public balcony overlooked parking lot

“There were fire ants in our room on the 2nd floor! Also the location is not directly on the River walk like I thought it was.”

• Service, location, friendly staff, clean.
• If you went when hotel was full, might be hard to get parking.

“This hotel is in a great location for everything. You can walk to the river walk, only minutes away from the zoo and highway to go to Sea World, which is about 15 minutes away. Very quiet, clean & queen size beds, instead of your standard doubles. Easy check in & out with friendly people.”
