My wife and I decided to take long weekend on the San Antonio Riverwalk for our anniversary in early November, 2012. We had heard that the Wyndham St. Anthony had been remodeled and thought we would give it a try. The lobby is fabulous. Very retro (30's-40's) with chandeliers, beautiful artwork, and very comfortable seating in the common areas. We felt we were in for a great stay for $99 per night plus fees and taxes. To our surprise the luxury ended at the lobby. Our room was supposed to have been ADA handicapped accessible. Ha! The only thing remotely close to ADA code was an oversized towel bar in the tub/shower. The doors were not wide enough for wheel-chair access. The oversized 4-post bed was so tall that my 5' 2" wife had to literally climb in using the bed rail and I scooted in after placing my rear on the edge and backing onto the bed. The bath was extremely small (approximately 4' x 6'). The tub was old with mold in several areas both at the top and bottom. The sink was pedestal-style with a dripping faucet (reported at checkin, still not fixed when we left on the 3rd day. Storage consisted of a small glass shelf above the sink. My wife could not use the mirror even standing on her tiptoes. The television was not visible from the bed unless I removed one of the bedposts. Not only that, the television was a 90's analog TV with minimal cable access. Carpet was filthy. My white socks were black after walking around the room. Our garden view room overlooked a rooftop party area. Nothing is included in the nightly fee. Parking is $10 per day across the street (self-parking), $30 + tip for valet, or take a chance on scoring a meter on the surrounding streets. An additional fee applys to internet access as well. I assumed the daily newspaper was free because I just took one of of the checkin counter. Would I stay again? NO! Not even gratis.
