"Everything about the property from the music that played softly in the background to the decor and the layout took me back to the wonderful hotels of the 50s and 60s with all the amenities of the modern day hotel."

“I found the mid-century tropical aesthetic to be a refreshing departure, complemented by a genuinely inviting atmosphere in the lobby and around the pool. While the location offers a pleasant walk to downtown San Antonio's core attractions, some practicalities like elevator service can present minor hiccups, though the staff's attentiveness certainly mitigates them.”
