Historic Charm
Well, initially I wasn't expecting to much out of this hotel. As the pictures show it is an older hotel but I needed a quick get away with a girlfriend and this seemed cheap and convenient. My friend checked into the room before I arrived so I didn't have a key to the room. The elevators are activated by your hotel key so this means that she had to come down to get me. I know that might frustrate some but it just added extra security to me which I always appreciate... especially when traveling without my husband. The rooms seem to be newly renovated (Texas style) but they are very small. This is another aspect that didn't bother me since I was only in there while sleeping and getting ready. The pool is on the 22nd (?) floor and is fantastic. You can see most of the city and all the Mexican charm it has to offer. There is another side balcony on the other side which was great for reading and coffee. So, the location was not the best but it also wasn't horrible. I have stayed in San Antonio at least 50 times in the past 25 years and yes, there are other hotels with better location. Overall, it was not a bad stay and I was not disappointed. I don't know that I would recommend it for a romantic get away but for a quick weekend stay-cation or work it's good. 
P.S. The 3 alcoholic beverages and light snacks were a perfect way for us to start off the weekend. :) Get there early or you won't have anywhere to sit.
