“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.”

comfortable beds prime location attractive garden
I got a room with two double beds and I loved it! The beds were comfy. The location is very close to the Riverwalk, Hemifair, La Villilita, RiverCenter, and The Alamo. The hotel had attractive gardens, I strolled through them!
The walls seems thin, I heard my neighbors.
