Made first trip to San Antonio with wife and daughter and stayed at hotel contessa. The staff at hotel was excellent, enjoyed workout room and rooftop pool/hot tub was outstanding. Very relaxing and comfortable, go for the round couches and rest the afternoon away. As others have written if you stay street side ask for room on 10th floor or... More

I was with a group of 40 Business Professionals and we had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Contessa for a recent trip to San Antonio. We were immediately impressed. As our group came in the door, they front desk added more people to check us in. This allowed our entire group to check in at a very convenient... More

This hotel was great from booking to checkout. Normally I book under sites like Priceline or Hotwire to get great hotel deals that are in the vicinity of where I want to be, but this time I was more concerned about exact location than price. This hotel is centrally located right on the riverwalk and they offered a government rate... More

On a visit ealier this month, I found this hotel very comfortable, relaxing and unpretentious, the staff knowledgeable and respectfull to all the guests...even a small child, I witnessed, on her way to the rooftop pool. The location was pretty amazing as well. The one thing I will always remember is there are some places that if they serve "pepsi",... More

There is a bellman by the name of Eddie. Not only handled our luggage, but we felt his handling of us personally was excellent! Seemed extra knowledgeable of hotel and surrounding areas. The stay in the presidential...excellent! We attempted to re-book but others must know of this hidden treasure as well. Added a connecting room (regular suite)...but the way it... More

We were traveling with our grandchildren and had a wonderful room and the service was great. The kids really loved the roof top pool and we all enjoyed being on the Riverwalk and went out daily for walks along the river.

Room temperature would go form warm to cool every 30 minutes making it hard to stay asleep. At checkout I paid for parking on my bill ($32.00). When I reviewed my account I was charged $39.27. I called the hotel and they told that was an error in should have been $35.73 for adding a fee of $3.73. I now... More

We purchased the Texas resident package which included valet parking and breakfast. Hotel was nice, clean, and comfortable. The location was great too. The room was a "city view" but we had a little river view too. The breakfast buffet was good as well. We had a small problem because we were there over Mother's day weekend and they were... More

We arranged a two-night family get together at the Hotel Contessa. We had a total of 13 people in 8 different rooms. We all agreed that the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were large and the furnishings were beautiful. I believe every room has a separate living room suite. I have stayed at many 4 and 5 star hotels, but... More

From the moment I arrived the valet services treated me and my family as if we were returning royalty even though it was our first time staying at the hotel.
