10/10 Exceptional

I always love staying at the O’Brien. A very cute small hotel. Close to every place I like to visit when in San Antonio.
Gloria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall good stay

Hotel was as expected, great location to everything. Comfy bed.
Kenlie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very pleasant stay! The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. While the building has an older charm, the rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The location is fantastic—close to many great restaurants and attractions. Although breakfast isn’t offered, it wasn’t a problem for us given the variety of nearby options. Parking was conveniently located and reasonably priced, just something to keep in mind when planning your stay. A big thank you to the staff for their excellent hospitality!
Carolyn, 4-night trip

Great location. Older hotel so we could hear all the noise from the street
Nahum, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Close to Riverwalk and La Villita

The elevator was working, so that was good. It was a few minutes walk from the Riverwalk. Covered parking garage, with in and out privileges, was next door to the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel had a mildew smell. I believe it contributed to my sore throat the next morning. The shared balcony was a nice place to relax.

Aubrey, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I chose this hotel based on location. Several friends also stayed at this hotel. It is very convenient to the Riverwalk. The room itself was fine. The bathroom was clean. The key issue with my room the AC was set very low so the room was freezing cold. There was no way to adjust it.

Solo trip

Loved that it was close to Riverwalk but far away where you could still have some peace and quiet.

The elevator wasn't working but everything else great
Albert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed the convenience of the hotel and how close it was to every thing. The staff were friendly and nice. I didn’t understand how I payed $20 for parking through hotel and still paid $60 for parking through the garage which was the designated parking area for hotel. My room when booking stated jetted tub which was not what we had got or if that is even available due to the hotel being old but so is much of San Antonio. Overall I really enjoyed the convenience of the hotel. I do feel a little mislead with the original description of hotel and parking.
Lauren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A little disappointing but stay was okay.
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff didn’t really know what they were doing. They didn’t register my car for overnight parking even after taking down my license plate twice. The room was dingy and bed comforter was super thin. Phone in room didn’t work to even call the front desk for another one.

4/10 Fair

This was probably the worst horel stay. The best was horrible, the balcony shown all the light possible due to the internal window blinds not blocking the light. The noise outside made it hard to sleep.
