Everything was wonderful. From the valet once we arrived to the room service during our stay, everything was perfect! We’ll definitely be back. It was our best staycation ever!
We just love the history of the old hotel and how close it is to the Alamo.

Convenient location, no house keeping our entire stay. Nice pool. Staff at front desk wasn’t very friendly. Valet staff was helpful. Room service staff was great.
