"Beautiful Room, Fantastic Service, Excellent Value"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 04, 2026 NEW
Simply the best hotel we've experienced in the last 10 years. The location is central to everything in San Antonio. There is a CVS one block over, a What-a-Burger two blocks away, (big deal if you're in TX). From the lobby to the room, the hotel is warm and inviting (where other hotels are institutional). The drive in from Houston was a headache and Karen recognized how harried we were and anticipated our needs. She even sent up a nice charcuterie plate and chilled water to ensure our comfort. The view, city or Riverwalk, is phenomenal. I don't think there is a bad room in this hotel. Also, the coffee at the Ambler is great. We're already planning our next stay.

"A Disappointing Birthday Celebration"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 04, 2026 NEW
A less than stellar experience for a highly rated hotel. At the onset, there was one disappointment after another. From checking in to our room expecting birthday decorations (which were pre-requested and promised) that were not there, to twice calling housekeeping for extra linens (we were asked if the “do not disturb sign” was hanging on the outside of the door), having to call housekeeping to have our towels replenished, ordering room service for 3 and only getting place settings for 2. There was absolutely no attention paid to detail. Our dissatisfaction was relayed to management and as yet, there has been no response.
