.. and I have stayed at dives in third world countries. Oh, it looks nice and has that "historic" feeling, but that masks what a total piece of crap this place is. First off, no food. The hotel kitchen was only open ONE DAY the whole time I was there. Forget about breakfast. Morning coffee? Well, there's some coffeeshops a few blocks away. I'm not joking. $19/day valet parking? Returned to me with bird crap and dirt all over my car. Stunning. How they can charge over $100/night for what is basically a hostel with antiques in it is amazing. Forget about working in your room, road warriors, it's designed to be as difficult as possible to get the internet and power hooked up to your notebook. The maid popped in on me one morning at 8:10am still in bed. The sad story just keeps going on.
Seriously, I was ready to switch to a motel 6 after a couple of days in this dump. By the way, this is NOT the St. Anthony (as one reviewer apparently thought), which IS a Wyndham Historic hotel. Wyndham apparently dumped this trash heap, a wise move.
Save yourselves! ANYWHERE but the Fairmount in San Antonio. The Menger looked nice, and is cheaper.
