Pros: Whoever we did call for ice it was promptly delivered.

Cons: Old and musty smelling. Rusty shower curtain rod. Musty bed spread and decorations. Curtains falling down. Poor desk attendant was also valet. Doing two jobs. No ice machine. I know it's an old historic hotel but poorly maintained. Generally icky.

Pros: The location is good if you're going to the convention center. Otherwise, it's on the edge of the Riverwalk. When the construction of their restaurant (none now) and try Convention Center / park complex is finished it will be a prime location.

Cons: It's definitely in need of renovation. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable, no fridge or microwave in the room, bathroom very dated and small for 2 people to use. Some mold in the tub shower.

Pros: A beautiful historic hotel located close to the river walk and the Alamo Dome. The rooms were beautiful.

Cons: No view. .overlooking a busy street. The hotel needed a lot of physical repair on the outside. Lots of rotting wood on windows and balconys. So sad..for it to fall into disrepair when it's so historic and beautiful.

Pros: The ambiance was really amazing! Loved the architecture and how well it was preserved. The staff were friendly and the grounds were well kept. It was like staying in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I also loved the premium consumables they offer. Bath and Body Works toiletries, and Starbucks coffee...YES!

Cons: The bed was pretty hard, but still manageable. The tub was abnormally slippery. It would be nice if there was a pool or a bar/cafe.

Pros: soft blanket and pillows, liked the balconies but not much of a view, liked the location best

Cons: i was in a room where it was necessary to walk up stairs but on check out there was no one to assist with getting our luggage from the room to the car! i also did not like that there was no easy access to ice but would have to have it delivered.
