"The hotel was conveniently located. Top-notch accommodations and service. I loved staying here.2018-12-31"
"I always have a nice stay at this hotel, but this time the pillows smelled bad. I had to ask for replacements twice.2015-09-11"
"Plan to wait over an hour for your hotel room service order, even though they say it will take less than 40 minutes. Expect lines at check-in and checkout, and to retrieve your car from valet parking. 2015-02-17"
"Close to restaurants, stores, and boat rides. The hotel was wonderful, and so was breakfast. We'll definitely stay here again.2017-12-18"
"Close to the mall and stores. The hotel room was nice and clean, and the view of the River Walk was great. The pillows were small and too light.2017-05-11"
"Excellent location. The hotel was nice and in good condition. We had the Do Not Enter sign on the door and were annoyed by the phone calls and cards slipped under the door complaining that housekeeping couldn't service the room. Avoid the greasy food at the Cactus Cafe.2017-01-24"

"Nice hotel on a quiet street, and it was the perfect walking distance from Alamo Dome and River Walk. Finding the front door and unloading was a bit confusing; we had to park on the street while checking in, but once checked in, parking was simple. Absolutely a 5-star experience.2023-12-30"
"I loved this hotel and my room. It was beautiful, super clean, and didn't have any nasty smells. All the employees were so nice and welcoming. I give the dining room 5 stars; the food was great, and so was the chef. I'll stay here again.2023-08-15"
"The hotel room wasn't clean, so we moved to another room. It was cleaner, but had a sticky floor and crumbs on the kitchen counter.2016-11-17"
"The AC air in the 1st room smelled like mold. The toilet was clogged, and the towel rack fell off the wall when I touched it. I was moved to a better room, but the AC air still smelled like mold. All in all, my stay was a little poor but comfortable.2020-04-12"
"We had to change rooms 3 times before we felt comfortable enough to sleep. Among the issues were peeling paint, gaps around the doors, old, tube TVs, stained carpeting and bedding, scum in the bathtubs, and a faint smell of heating fuel. The staff went above and beyond to try to accommodate us, but there was only so much they could do considering what they had to work with. Find another motel.2015-03-03"
"Clean hotel with friendly, knowledgeable employees. I was a little disappointed that there was no bathtub in our king room, so we switched to a double room. The manager's evening reception and breakfast were both good.2015-12-15"
"We were appalled by the room condition. It was small, dirty, and in horrible shape, and the bathroom was filthy. The hotel clerk moved us to a supposedly newly-renovated room, but it was no better. There were holes in the carpet, and the shower was disgusting. Don't stay here.2018-04-26"
"The hotel was close to the River Walk, which was great, but the interior wasn't 5-star. The rooms facing the courtyard were nice, but my room smelled bad.2018-04-05"
"Convenient to the Riverwalk and market. The hotel was a bit old but was overall a good place to stay. Our room was next to the pool, but I didn't notice any noise other than the housekeeping carts going up and down the concrete walkway. The staff was friendly and helpful, and answered all my questions enthusiastically. The parking garage had some sharp angles. I'd book an interior room next time.2017-09-13"
"Nice place to stay. The hotel was just a block from the Alamo, and the front of the hotel is at the spot where Santa Anna's troops breached the Alamo wall in 1836. The bathroom was large. Parking wasn't included in the room rate, but there was public parking next door. I had a comfortable stay. 2020-06-28"
"Just half a block from the Alamo. The hotel was lovely, and the staff was helpful and solicitous concerning safety. Ask about nearby parking, which was super easy, but not the hotel garage situation I expected. I'll definitely stay here again.2022-07-18"
"Breakfast was disappointing.2017-09-19"
"Just a few steps from River Walk. Great rates. The hotel room was clean and spacious, and all the employees were friendly and attentive.2017-07-14"
"Good hotel in a good location. The room and view were nice. Ask for a room overlooking the River Walk.2019-08-20"
"I was happy with the accommodations. The hotel staff was welcoming and treated me with respect and care throughout my stay. The valet called taxis for me as needed, and housekeepers provided extra towels when requested.2017-05-04"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
