The location in San Antonio cannot be beat, the Alamo is literally right out the door and the Riverwalk is two minutes by foot. Everyone we encountered at the hotel was very helpful and friendly; we needed an extra bed in our room and they brought one up free of charge right away.
I wish I could be as positive about the property itself, but honestly, being a historical hotel does not exclude you from conforming to standard cleanliness and functionality expectations. Our room was not exactly spotless, there were cracks in the walls and I think the curtains were made out of plastic. This is not a budget hotel, and so I expect a room that reflects that. I appreciate the vintage feel, sure, but please, blue carpet that looks like it hasn't been cleaned this century? And it wouldn't be terrible to have windows that can be open and closed without getting stuck. Also, the water in the shower kept changing from hot to cold and at one point it got so hot it scalded my scalp.
I would definitely look for a different place to stay in San Antonio were I to return. There is no shortage of hotels in the area and I think that for the price, you could definitely find something a lot better and cleaner.
