There is much I can say that is positive about the Crockett. I would definitely choose to stay there again if the occasion ever came up. We did not use gym or pool facilities, we only had a very short time in San Antonio. I liked the historic aspect of this hotel....enhanced by the location right across the street from the Alamo. It is also very convenient, only about a two minute walk from San Antonio's Riverwalk. (Riverwalk is an absolutely wonderful experience, I'd come again to S.A. just for that!) The room was beautiful, the decorating, the quaint old building, the view outside our room, and the staff were always so helpful and friendly. The bed was very comfortable, although I personally prefer a firmer mattress. Breakfast was excellent, the food was hot, with very good selection. Sorry, being Canadian, I couldn't try the grits, so I can't report on that. Things that would improve the experience.....HOT water provided for breakfast (the water I had was barely above body temperature on both days) and especially for people who aren't from Texas, perhaps a reminder / lesson about hydration. The heat there is very seldom experienced where I come from.
