lovely, clean, spacious, historical
Loved my stay. Love historical places. They've kept is up nicely. Right at the Alamo and RiverWalk. Great buffet (good price and food). My room was quiet, clean, themed decor, dark at night, and almost cool enough (with a fan and all blinds closed). Plenty of room for one person. Negative comments: front desk people were unhelpful and hmmm....unfriendly (smiled but didn't mean it). Pool hours too limited. I wanted to work out before business meetings. Not possible as they opened pool at 9 am. When I returned in evening, pool filled with non-swimmers just standing around and talking. Need lap lane or lap hours designated. Work out room small with limited equipment- treadmill/stepper. My room had no desk. Website said every room had a desk. Hotel staff apologetic and said it was an old hotel. Excuse me! Desks have been around for several thousand years! Room had a TV, hair dryer and coffee maker....but no desk! When I booked I told them I was there on business & verified wifi. Never thot to ask about a DESK! Went to lobby to work, but no outlets at tables. Lobby smelled of urine in areas and cigar smoke....nasty! Need to get cigar store out of the hotel. Smokers need to be further from facility....tried to have a glass of wine and sit in courtyard rocking chairs with associates in evenings, but smokers arrived and polluted the air. Maybe smokers could have their own area in the parking garage. Got an ok rate for booking early....overpriced otherwise. Would go again with caveats.
