Dear Hotel Contessa Management, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional experience my wife and I had during our recent stay at your hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by your valet staff, who welcomed us with a smile and set the tone for a wonderful visit. A special thank you to Abbas at the front desk, who was incredibly courteous and took the time to thoroughly explain all the hotel amenities to us. When he inquired about the occasion for our visit, I mentioned that we were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. To our surprise and delight, we received a bottle of champagne in our room with two glasses—a truly thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special. Please extend our gratitude to Mr. Abbas for his outstanding hospitality. We absolutely fell in love with the hotel—the breathtaking view, the immaculate and beautifully designed room, and the distinctive aroma of ash & oak that filled the air wherever we walked. We were so captivated by the scent that we purchased scented candles from the spa, thanks to Abbas’ helpful recommendation. San Antonio has always been a favorite destination for us, and I frequently visit for business. However, after this incredible experience, we have found our go-to getaway at Hotel Contessa. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Lastly, the mariachi performance on Friday was a delightful touch that added to the charm of the hotel atmosphere. Every detail of our visit made this anniversary truly memorable, and we appreciate the dedication of your staff in creating such a welcoming and elegant experience. Thank you again for everything. We can’t wait to return! Warm regards,

I’m definitely going back and spending a few more days in the hotel. I was very satisfied with the location of the hotel on the river walk, we were just minutes away from a lot of food and fun. Plus there was live music along the river walk and at the hotel at night.

"Fair to poor stay"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed May 11, 2025 NEW
The bed and pillows were great. Fast Eddy, the valet guy was awesome and best staff member there. The hotel staff never answered the room service calls I tried to make several times. The amount of road noise coming through the hotel walls was crazy and it took a while to go to sleep. The shower water slowed to a crawl whenever another hotel guest flushed a toilet making it a bit difficult to rinse the soap off. Parking with the valet was $57 a night which is quite high. Overall, for a nice hotel I didn’t find it any better than a Holiday Inn Express, which had free parking and free breakfast.

Nice hotel very close to all downtown San Antonio offers. We didn't realize it was Fiesta-what a treat! Room was clean and spacious. Hotel bar and restaurant were both nicely decorated and fully staffed. Hotel was busy but never felt ignored.

"Hotel is ok and very disappointing customer service"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed May 09, 2025 NEW
The hotel is visually appealing, but the service experience was truly frustrating. There’s no water provided in the rooms you have to go down to the front desk every time you need it, and they only give you two bottles at a time. The ice machine was also out of order. I requested an extra bedding set. The front desk agent first claimed it had already been sent, but it never arrived. I called again and was transferred back to the front desk, where I was told that after 11 pm there’s no housekeeping and I would have to come down to pick it up myself. I went downstairs and guess what? The elevator stopped on the second floor, where housekeeping staff were standing around. This level of service is unacceptable for a hotel of this category
