My daughter and I enjoyed...
Pros: Beautiful room. Good location. Loved the story about moving the entire hotel!
Cons: Booked a queen suite and thought I was getting a queen size bed but got a full size bed instead. Also emailed for any amenities for my room to celebrate my birthday, I would have gladly paid for. Got nothing. Didn't receive any reply saying you didn't offer anything either.

Extremely Disappointed
Pros: The location was close enough to the Riverwalk.. nice restaurant near by.
Cons: I realize this is a historical building, however, this was one of the most dirtiest places I've stayed! Cracked tile, peeling wallpaper, & dust galore! The shower appeared that it had not been cleaned properly for some time as the wall had (what appeared to be) dried blood on it! I did not pick this location, was found by a family member & I agreed to stay.. worst decision ever. Disappointed for sure..

Great character, historic building, room...
Pros: The classic architecture and character of the building
Cons: The vents in the ceiling in the bedroom and the bathroom were disgusting, dark gray/black dust in the vents, but in the bathroom there were black mold spots on the ceiling next to the vent too. Very disappointed. I understand the building is old, but they still need to clean the vents and bathrooms.

A charming hotel, good value,...
Pros: The location, close to our conference, and fairly close to the Riverwalk, for a good price, about half of surrounding hotels. Antique lovers will like this old hotel, it has atmosphere.
Cons: No breakfast, and the nearest restaurant was slow and opened too late for most of our conference. We ate instead at the conference hotel, the only option close enough, but the price there was very high. The Fairmont has a restaurant on the lower floor under construction; once it's finished, this problem I think will be solved.

Run, run far away
Pros: Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
Cons: -They kept the hold on my card for almost a month after checking out
-there was mold in the bathroom vents
-dust under all of the furniture
-couldn't fix the pricing because I used booking.com. It's probably policy so I understand. Had to call booking.com to fix it. Choose hotels wisely before using Booking if you think there will be problems.
-a cockroach came up out of the bathtub drain at around 6am so we left that same morning at about 7am. Still had to pay $20 valet and still had to pay for the 1 night stay. Shouldn't have had to pay for anything. At least staff was polite.

The Old Girl Needs New...
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.

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.
