Don’t stay here
Don’t stay here. The pictures online have to be from long ago and misleading. This place is old, dirty, and grimy. The room smelled so strongly of mildew, the elevator was broken several times over several days, the ceiling fan in the room was broken and there was a stand fan to replace it, and everything had a layer of grime on it. Very simple cleanliness issues like just wiping things down. The hairdryer and light switch in the bathroom had someone else’s hair on it along with a layer of dust. The customer service experience was subpar except Jesse who was helpful and polite.
Visible water lines on the walls, probably contributing to the mildew smell.

Classic Hotel
We enjoyed one night at this classic hotel. It was a block from the Riverwalk. The room was large and comfortable. We will definitely stay again.

Don't Stay Unless You Have No Choice.
I just wouldn't stay again, there were seats outside the window where people could relax, but they weren't for our room, and just everything was a disaster.

Excessive charges
The hotel was nice, but the extra charges for late check out and parking were I feel excessive. We stayed on a Saturday night due to my husband running a marathon Sunday. We arrived around 4:30. We were told checkout was 11 and parking ends at the same time. Charge was $70 to stay until 2 and $12 to park until then. The hotel was not busy at all- I feel some discounts could have been given. We would not stay again

Riverwalk visit.
Phone in room didn’t work, he said been like that for while. Hair dryer was taken from wall, had to ask for one. Checkin in at 3 and not a minute before. Very close to Riverwalk. Very quiet.

Fun place to stay close to the Riverwalk
The hotel is historic which is a fun experience. If you are looking for something that is up to date and modern, this historic hotel is probably not for you. If you are looking for something with character, great customer service, and awesome value, extremely close to the Riverwalk, you'll really enjoy your stay here! Front desk staff were accommodating and helpful, timely with any requests, I never had to ask twice for anything (and I always end up needing something extra in a hotel stay). Parking was convenient but I did have trouble using the parking permit from the hotel, it took me several tries but it was able to work out. I felt safe the whole time also.

Great stay for a get away
Ian was very friendly and helpful. Great big smiles that was needed after a long day of traveling. The hotel was very cute. I really liked how they had the bar tables in the middle of the rooms. Great if you have a family event. The room was quaint and we had a balcony. Very nice to sit on the balcony in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. The hotel is right off the river walk. Nice location. We were able to walk everywhere including to the Alamodome.

Needs severe redecoration
The hotel rooms are in bad condition and in severe need of closing down and redecorating the rooms. Doors do not close properly and look like someone has done a bad job of a repair. The folks in reception need to keep the promise to make up the room as agreed.

Neat place to stay
Stayed for Oktoberfest at la villita. Very cool place to stay. Very comfortable and clean. Friendly service. And perfect walking distance to the Riverwalk and other festivities. Only drawback for me was it felt very tight. Rooms are small. But would stay here again, just never as more than 2 ppl in a room.

Trashy hotel
This place is a dump. The picture on the website did not truly represent the condition of the property. Dirty carpets , old mattress, old stain sheets. We checked in and then checked out would not stay in this dumpster. Do not stay here

Greta location for a Great Price
I hotel was nice and perfect for our needs. The staff was friendly as well. The beds were a little springy, but not terrible. I know the hotel is historic, but there were some cosmetic issues that could be fixed. Overall it was a great price for being so close to the Riverwalk!
