Historic Building, Outstanding Service
I booked the Riverwalk Vista based on the other reviews I saw on Trip Advisor. Coming in for business over several days, the Riverwalk was even more than I had expected. It may not be for everyone, but for some it probably doesn't get much better. 
The Riverwalk is a historic building which is about a 5 iron from the convention center and a chip shot from the river walk. There are 17 rooms in a 3 story building overlooking downtown San Antonio. The charm and magic of this hotel is all inside. From the hardwood floors throughout along with rustic furniture in every room, there is an immediate comfort feeling when you walk in.
If you are looking for a Hilton or Marriott with bell hops, concierge and restaurant inside this is not the place for you. You are however given some things that are special. Breakfast made each morning that is fresh and unique, cookies at 3:00 and wine at 5:00. Joan and the rest of the staff are attentive and helpful. Free internet is a plus and you can relax in the common area or find a cozy leather chair to camp out and read or work. 
When you travel for work and get burned out of the same old cookie cutter chain hotel, the Riverwalk Vista is a great change. I
