Stayed here for a business trip in Jan. 2012. Location was great, within easy walking distance to conference center, restaraunts, Alamo, etc. The service was great as well; I forgot my phone charger, and without hesitation, one of the desk attendents let me borrow his for the week I was there. My room was ok, nothing spectacular. This hotel is... More

Our Family of 4 booked a 4 night stay here between Christmas and New Year's for the Alamo Bowl game. What a great choice! The location is fantastic, walking distance to everything. 5 min to the riverwalk,10-15 min to Alamodome, 10 min to the Alamo. The room itself is on the small side but has nicer finishes, large flat screen... More

My husband and I bought the O'Brien hotel deal on living social. The deal included free parking. When I called to make the reservation the lady I spoke with said if there wasn't enough room in their parking we would be reimbursed for whatever payment we made to park. When we arrived we paid for parking and asked to be... More

I was fortunate to find this lovely boutique hotel, only 2 blocks from the Riverwalk, with magical holiday lights and caroling boats. The manager was a sweetheart, and as this was a special time, the large, comfortable room greeted us with roses on the pillow, and wine on the credenza! Great way to start off the evening. After a dinner... More

I booked this place because of the price honestly and the reviews here said it was pretty good when I breezed through them quickly, it was super last minute for a quick place to stay after our Christmas Party downtown. It was fantastic! clean and modernized, super cute claw foot tub in the bathroom and free breakfast! The location was... More

This boutique style is two very short blocks away from the center of beautiful downtown San Antonio. All attractions, shopping, dining are within walking distance. The hotel itself offers spacious rooms at very affordable prices (compared to other downtown hotels). The rooms are very well kept with nice amenities including him/her robes, old style tubs, balcony and much more. It... More

Spent 5 days at O'Brien as a base to explore the city being just a short distance to the riverwalk and around 10-15 minutes from the convention center. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was plentiful. After one night, I was moved to a first floor room after complaining that the Wi-Fi signal was very weak in the... More

Large, nicely done room; excellent breakfast for continental offering with trays so you could easily take it back to your room. Helpful staff, made sure we were able to get a spot in the small parking lot out front when we returned. More

I came in town for a marathon and was told I could have a late check-out and when I got there, their story changed and I had to be out by Noon at the latest. I managed to negotiate 1 pm with the manager after putting up a fight. Other issues: Bathtub too big for bathroom. It was poking through... More

I stayed at the O'Brien one night, mid-week, for business travel. The room was quite large, and the whirlpool tub was HUGE -- I enjoyed a nice bath as a perk or staying in one of the whirlpool tub rooms! It's a very short walk to the River Walk. It's rather nice b/c the hotel is at one far end... More
