As soon as you walked in the room it smelled of urine, there were white stains on the atoman, black stains on the sheets, night stand had smudges and fingerprints all over it and there was soda cups full of soda left in the common area for a full day. This place looked nothing like the pictures advertised. It looked extremely run down with several real bad patch attempts on the walls. I'm very disappointed and will most definitely never be returning. The only good things about this place were its location to the river walk and the young lady at the counter who has barely started working there a few days ago but is doing a great job!

Handicap people BEWARE! Although it was a handicap room the access was not great. First the shower had no railings and access issues. Then hot water only got slightly warm after we went down to discuss it with the front desk because the phone did not work at all. The hot water only got slightly warm if you turned on the cold water at the sink and let it run for nearly10 min and left it running as you showered in lukewarm water. So, trust me, it was not an eco-friendly establishment. So much wasted water. The room was acceptable although the beds seemed to me as old as the building. Trust me, I think camping in my van at the side of the road would have been better than this!

Rooms are adequate. We had a two queen room, and there was no room to move in there. Bed was cheap and uncomfortable. Our room was very run down. But the price for that area and the location could not be beat.

The hotel was cute and full of characters. We love the friendly staff. It was literally walking distance from riverwalk, la villita area. Parking was next to the hotel, easy access but do call ahead during holiday seasons because the garage is public parking. The hotel was not very well sound proofed and they do not offer breakfast, only light snacks and bottled beverages. It is a cashless hotel, but you must tip housekeeping cash, they will not let you leave them tips on your credit card.

We love this hotel. The balcony is wonderful and the room is very comfortable. The AC worked beautifully but the weather was great so we mostly left the door open and the AC off.
