A great place to stay in San Antonio
This inn is located in the heart of San Antonio and is convenient to a lot of the major attractions in the city. The River Walk is located across the street from the inn. The Alamo is only a couple of blocks away. If you like to shop, the Rivercenter Mall is a couple of blocks from the inn. We did not drive to San Antonio so we did not have the parking problems that some reviewers mentioned. Our cab dropped us off within a few feet of the entrance to the inn. You have to walk up about six steps with your luggage to the front door. You then contact the innkeeper with the keypad on the front stoop and she will remotely unlock the front door and ask you to come up to the third floor via elevator to check in. The inn has 17 rooms located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. There is a McDonalds on the 1st floor. The building is an old warehouse building. The rooms have wooden floors, large windows, comfortable beds, large shower (loved it as I am a tall person), a live goldfish, little bear on your bed, quality toiletries, and wi-fi connections. Note: My wi-fi connection didn't work so they provided an ethernet cable which worked fine. There is a lot of noise from the street but the air conditioner drowned out most of the noise. There is a sound machine by your bed to help with the outside noise but we didn't use it and we slept well. We were there during the week so the noise may be more noticeable during the weekends. There is an ample breakfast provided with cereal, toast, rolls, and at least one hot item such as a breakfast quiche. They have hot cookies and lemonade in the afternoons and wine in the evenings. The innkeepers work 8 hour shifts around the clock and are there to help with any needs you have. We found them to be very helpful and pleasant. If you usually stay at the Hilton or other similar hotel where they have porters to carry your luggage and other such amenities, this may not be the place for you, but we enjoyed our stay very much and it would be our number one choice if we go back to San Antonio. The location can't be beat!
We used the Alamo Trolley to see some of the sights and found it to be a good way to get to several of the historical sites around San Antonio. They also have regular trolley and bus routes to use if you have more time.
We ate at Boudro's on the River Walk and highly recommend it.
