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.

Quaint Gem Near the Action
Felt safe and very close to downtown events. It is older but I really enjoyed the charm of the decor.

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
The air conditioning unit was literally coming off the wall

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!

6/10 Good

Satisfactory, but not what expected
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room itself had a musty smell to it. Since we had a balcony room, we could open the door and had fresh air until retiring for the night. We didn't ask for another room since we were only there for two nights and gone most of the day. It is an old historic hotel, trying to do their best. More thorough cleaning could be accomplished by just taking a duster to pictures, bed frames, and lamps. A stronger vacuum on old carpeting might help also. The bed was comfortable. We didn't accommodate ourselves to the breakfast offered, because there are too many other options locally with better options, one of those being La Villita Cafe, just a 4 minute walk away! The location is excellent as we could walk to the Alamo and River Walk. So for the price we paid, it was satisfactory but not what we expected. You can do a lot with pictures.

We stay at many historic boutique hotels, however this should not be considered a “boutique” if you typically stay at a motel 6 then this is the place for you! The staff is very friendly and that’s the only positive I can say. They have no signs telling you where to park to check in, they are located directly on the street on a bus path. I parked in the parking lot across from them to run in and ask and came back out to an orange sticker stuck to my window and a $50 ticket! All in maybe 5 minutes. All in all it was just a let down from the minute we arrived.
