I stayed in this nice, historic hotel last Sep. for 4 nights. The location is good walking distance to all the sites that San Antonio has to offer (other hotels more central).
I think this hotel is ok if you get the rate around $120 and if you get a lower rate its what really worth. My room was confortable (good bed) not happy with the carpet old and dirty, the bathroom seems to me the only change it got since the hotel's glamours days is fresh paint, the same sink and bathtub from last century, a very small tiny closet, not safe in the room and the more noticeable "the smell of old place".
The facilities, like restaurant bad service in need of better managing, the bar is ok, good size w/ flat tvs and good happy hour w/ free snaks; nice gym and a very very noisy pool area, it's below and next to a giant a/c system that make a terrible sound like you are in side a factory, forget about relaxing by the pool.
My only problem was when I got home and checked my credit card history. I prepaid my whole stay in advance and I just gave my credit card for extras or additional charges when I check-in, but the hotel charged to my credit card some one else stayed. I called the hotel right away over the weekend and contact the front desk; they toll me that they don't handle any type of charges problems and that I will have to call the accounting dpt. the following monday; when I called I got tired of trying to speak w/ someone from accounting and left all the details w/ the person in frontdesk. Later the same day I recived a call from the hotel acknowledgeing it was their misstake.......So good; advice check the history of your charges after any trip specialy if you stay in the Sheraton Gunter / San Antonio.
Finally if I ever go back to San Antonio I would try a different hotel.
