Very nice staff and facility in general. Pool area real nice. I was in for a quick stay in late and out real early. Room smelled of mildew and AC (which was needed due to the humidity of the season) sounded made a fog horn sound every few minutes! Luck if the draw??

Please accept my apology of your stay over memorial day weekend. As I'm sure you were aware of San Antonio had what amounted to a natural disaster with receiving over a foot of rain in a 24 hour period. That excessive amount of rain impacted our computer systems and caused them to not work correctly. We tried our best to... More

I like the refurbished rooms, very stylish and classy. I will continue to stay here. Thanks for giving a great discount to Schlumberger Limited employees. The climate control works well. I didn't try the food service, I went out the River Walk for that, so I have no comment on food or drink.

I reserved a room with a king-sized bed and a sofa that could be used as a bed for my daughters and myself. When making the reservation, I made it clear to the person handling the reservation that there would be three of us. When we arrived, we had a room with an accessible bathroom, but no sofa. I went...

I would recommend this hotel to anybody, except those who have their hearts set upon the Riverwalk. It is about 7-8 mins walk from that lovely destination; if that epic journey is too much for you and your zimmer frame then you would be well advised to look closer to home. It is however only about 3 mins walk away... More

We stayed two nights in this hotel at the end of downtown, close to the famous market square. The pictures we saw in the internet when we booked did not really show the real thing. The hotel is quite old and only partly well-kept. The carpet was partly very dirty and smelled. Breakfast was OK.
