Quiet Riverwalk Hotel
Second time at the Hotel Contessa, it's just liek i remembered form my first visit a few years ago. Clean, modern hotel, on the Riverwalk, but not the loud part, though it is a short walk from all the restaurants and shops. Easy to find. I like that it's not righ tin the middle of all the other big hotels and restaurants. It's easy to get away from that area to the rest of San Antonio. 
Parking is the only real downer, but it's the same at most every other riverwalk hotel. Valet is great option, but not cheap, though they do have free in and out. No on-site self parking. The garage is a block or so away. 
Great room, clean and fresh. Nice bathrooms and amenities in the room, including TVs in both the sitting area and the bedroom. Good wireless access and wired ethernet port as well. 
Staff was excellent, professional and courteous. I'll definately stay there again.
