Built in 1909 and it showed
Let me start out by saying that the staff of the hotel is very friendly & helpful. The lobby and other common areas are beautiful. The sleeping rooms, however, are another story. The bathroom fixtures could have been the original and were difficult to use. The sheets were so old that I felt like I was sleeping on sand paper. My last night I slept on top of the comforter for the sake of comfort. All new towels are needed and they need to learn about fabric softener. Because the room had an old TV, I was not able to get CNN or ESPN even though they were listed on the channel menu. Religious programming was shown instead. The furniture was also very old and beat up. This hotel could be very nice but is in need of a major renovation. I would look for alternatives for another visit to San Antonio.
