“The hotel's historic designation as the oldest continuously running hotel west of the Mississippi certainly carries weight, placing you steps from the Alamo and the River Walk. I noted the Victorian-era design, and the hotel does have its own unique charm, with its architecture and engaging bar, but it may not appeal to all modern travelers. It seems ideal for history enthusiasts and those wanting a family-friendly experience, complete with a large outdoor pool.”
