The room was clean but not properly maintained, with needed paint and caulking around the tub. The lobby was hot and didn’t have the air conditioning on. Check in time is 3:00 and take them at their word bc they didn’t let me check in at 2:55

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I made the grave mistake of editing my stay from one room to two rooms. When I went from one screen to the next the dates of my stay defaulted to that days date. It was totally my fault for not checking the date more carefully but the day I wanted was exactly the same just a month later. Expedia reached out to the hotel manager and of course they wouldn’t refund my reservation but the part that is unacceptable is that they would not even change my reservation and charge me just the extra. I wasted a ton of money on my own stupidity but this hotel sure could have made it better by simply changing the date and charging me any additional amount. I will not be staying here when I travel.

This is a nice hotel. Close to everything. Walking distance to Riverwalk, the Alamo. Market Square. Bus lines, carriage rides. Great location. The property itself is historic and an old facility, it’s very clean and the staff is wonderful. Could use a bit of attention but we would stay again. Big shout out to Stacey for all her attention to detail and excellent care of us.
