The hotel blends the vibe of San Antonio with classic amenities and warm staff. My wife and I are blending a business trip with pleasure and we immediately felt comfortable with the property and our room. Myrick, is the doorman and took good care of us... More

This is a very nice hotel. The staff is friendly and professional. But it fell short in a few areas. Got to the room thought I'd put on some music from the cable channel. Discovered there is a charge for that??? The clock radio had no connection for a smartphone, Iphone or otherwise. Even though I had requested King Suite,... More

This is difficult for me because we love most of the places we stay. I think we are easy to please....and this place has gotten so many good reviews, so maybe we just hit it wrong. But here goes. We went this past weekend for our anniversary. Arrived Friday at 6:30 PM. We went up to our room and it... More

Our first stay at Hotel Contessa was for our wedding anniversary. It is in a great location making it easy to walk around downtown and on a very nice part of the Riverwalk. Every staff member we encountered from the valet to the front desk to the waitress in the bar, were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, quiet,... More

A very nice hotel only a 5 minute walk from the Convention Center. Big, suite-like rooms, nicely furnished. Friendly and accomodating staff. Much, much better than the convention hotels I've stayed at in the past. Plus, I was able to get a good deal so it was $60 a night less than those. Nice roof-top pool with views of the... More

Upon arriving at the Hotel Contessa, we were greeted by Eddie G. and his associates before we even got out of our cab. Eddie uploaded our luggage from the back and greeted us by name. This was the warmest welcome I have ever received at a hotel. Almost every time we left or returned to the building, staff members were... More

After researching online and seeing so many positive reviews, I selected Hotel Contessa for our long weekend trip to San Antonio. From the moment you walk in the door you realize you will have a wonderful experience. It smells fantastic; they told me it is called White Blossom Tea. All of the staff were attentive, knew their stuff, were available,... More

Had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Contessa. The check in staff was fabulous but it was the valet attendants that went out of their way to help my husband and I. We arrived at the hotel after a 12 hour road trip. It was Friday afternoon and we had a Tahoe with a motorcycle on a trailer behind the... More

On a three-day trip with friends and family we found ourselves diverted to the Hotel Contessa by our original hotel because they had experienced a power outage. After feeling some disappointment we deecided to make the best of it. We were overwhelmingly pleased with the arrangements. We found ourselves right on the River Walk with very spacious mini suites that... More

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Contessa. He was on business, I was on pleasure. We loved the room, which has a separate living room. This was great when I wanted to go to bed and he wanted to stay up and work. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The furniture... More

We’re glad that the we provided you and your husband the winning combination of business and pleasure. Our suites are particularly useful when you do need a place to relax, while your travel companion is working. Our rooftop pool is a crowd pleaser and offers a quiet place to read and relax. It sounds like you had the chance to... More
