We've stayed here twice and this hotel is great. The location is perfect if you want to be on the Riverwalk because its very quiet and peaceful. The service is great! Its very well kept and managed. The pool is very nice! It was only about a 20-30 minute walk down the riverwalk to the main area where all of... More

We booked a room through an on-line site, so we were a little worried about the accommodations. We were very pleasantly surprised. We got a very comfortable king bed overlooking the Riverwalk. The only downside was the hike to get to our room, but the view and comfortable accommodations were worth the walk. There were plenty of stairs near our... More

We booked a great deal all week on Priceline. I was a little nervous reading some of the reviews before we left but I have to say we have had a great week. The staff was nice, breakfast was good, and we had a great room by the pool with a fridge, microwave, and patio. Our housekeeper even posed our... More

Loved the location--beautiful! The staff was excellent and even let us check in 3 hours early! Pool area was great--the tiki bar was a nice touch! We also loved the snack area downstairs! Delicious scones and smoothies! We will definitely stay again!

First I have to agree with many others who have commented on this hotel in saying the staff was very nice and accommodating whenever they could be. Our room was clean and the maid service was very good at keeping it that way. Overall our stay was very nice and I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in San... More

This place was booked using the Internet so the price did not hurt our pockets. The advertising made it seem like a great place to stay, no so. The room was dirty, I found human hair balls on the floor. I'm not making this up. We left it alone since it was along the wall and away from us having... More

We're sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. George Strait had a concert in town over the weekend and we were sold out. Your initial concern about the room's cleanliness was inexcusable on our part, regardless of the fact that our staff was especially busy. Obviously we do our best to keep every room as clean as...

Had a great time! Staff was very nice and had good recommendations for restaurants/attractions. Parkings a little pricey but always could find a spot and convenient. The main part of the river walk is about 10 minutes of walking, which could be a little inconvenient although there is art work, etc to see on the way. I'll definitely stay here... More

nasty, not very clean, noisy and you pay for everything including parking. I will never stay here again and I suggest you don't ever plan to stay here either. the hotel was old and needs updating real bad, you could hear every one walking in the halls, the carpets were dirty as could be.

This hotel was really great. Very clean and wonderful costumer service. It is a little farther away from the shops and restaurants than 'just off the Riverwalk' but it's a really nice walk along the river to get there (about 10 minutes, $5 cab ride). Neighborhood seemed very safe. Great pool area and buffet, late checkout until 2pm with no... More
