The hotel is a historic place, so don't expect a high-class hotel. The hotel was amazing, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was walking distance to the River Walk. The hotel was clean, quiet, and best of all, the staff were great! I will definitely go back.

Decently priced hotel very close to the Riverwalk and Alamo. Comfortable room with good shower and cold AC. Elevator wasn’t working but was fixed by the next morning. Parking garage was next to the hotel. Would stay there again because the price was good for the location.

Billed as a historic boutique hotel. Nothing boutique about it. Just an old outdated hotel. Decent location and staff were very nice. My wife would never ever stay again.
