The location was great. Walking distance to River walk/Alamo plaza (5-6 blocks) and El Mercado (5-6 blocks the other direction). We bought a day pass for the city buses ($4 per person) downtown trolley included in that pass and there is a trolley stop just around the corner. Walked or took public transit through the area with our two year... More

Enjoyed our stay in hotel. I really liked that many of the attractions were within walking distance. The rooms were comfortable and clean and reasonably priced. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. The staff was very helpful and answered all questions promptly and courteously. Our check-in and check-out went smoothly.The hotel has a lot of history, as it was once a... More

Minutes to the Riverwalk and Alamo plus sleeping in 'jail' were just of the few bonuses when we slept a night here. Room was smaller than normal - to be expected in a downtown area but very comfy, clean and friendly staff with good breakfast .

Jennifer at the front desk was extremely friendly & helpful! The room was larger than expected, the parking across the street was great (never at any time did I feel it was unsafe based on some of the reviews I read - the lot is right across the narrow street from the hotel!) and the breakfast area was clean and...

This is a great little hotel - used to be the Bexar County Jail. Very cool history for history buffs. The windows are original (from the 1800's) and a sign on them says to please not touch or try to open due to their age. Some old photos throughout the hotel tell the history of the building The hotel and... More

Our family of four stayed here May 10-11, 2013. Parking was confusing at first, but we pulled in next to the handicapped spot in front of the hotel while we checked in. The parking lot is right across the tiny street in front of the lobby (if you stand in the front door and look straight ahead, you will see... More

We were on our anniversary road trip and San Antonio was one of our stops. My husband found this hotel online while looking for hotels within walking distance to the Riverwalk. This definitely is a comfortable walk to the Riverwalk and the Market square. The room we had was clean and spacious but did have a little musty smell to... More

This hotel is a good value for its location just a few blocks away from the Riverwalk and a half hour walk to the Alamo. It has a certain charm as it is in a historic building - the old Bexar County jail. The breakfast choices were typical for a HIE. The items were fresh, well-stocked, and the hot items... More

I stayed at the HIE Riverwalk in late March 2013. I was very happy with my choice. I drove in easily, parked in their lot all week for $10/day (free w/Priority Club), and hardly used the car again. I was right on the trolley line, about 4 blocks walk to the Riverwalk, same to Market Square, and very near the... More
