Great family staycation
My family loved the space and the access to the Riverwalk. The bathroom was a bit dated and there was peeling in the bath tub which kind of sucked because we have a 9 month old and chose not to give him a bath with all the peeling.

Perfect for the conference center
We stayed here for the TMEA conference. Was a super short walk to the conference center and very well located to all the things we wanted to do. Can walk right outside to the river walk! Everything was well taken care of and very clean inside the hotel. Would definitely stay here again!

Upgraded
As a Hotels.com Platinum VIP member, they were able to upgrade me to an Executive Suite instead of a regular room. Delightful. After my conference, I had a business lunch at the hotel's restaurant. Francisco provided good food and excellent service.

Birthday Getaway
Our room had a lovely view- comfortable bedding and there is a nice restaurant in hotel.I wish the bathtub/ bathroom was a little more updated- due to the tub peeling but overall it was pretty good.

Hotel Contessa for the win … well, almost!
This is our second time at Hotel Contessa. We love this hotel and its amenities. This trip the hot tub was down and water level was below the jets. It was disappointing as that was one of the reasons we chose Hotel Contessa was the rooftop hot tub, but everything else was great. We will be back.

Great location
We like the property but have a couple issues. The pillows are large and not comfortable. It would be nice to have fitted sheets because these would come loose. The room service meals were very good. Not big issues but we may look elsewhere on our next visit to San Antonio

Stay was great. I would have preferred a walk in shower bathroom. Other than that the stay was great!
