I like the suits, rooms are spacious, clean, big windows, something is not well maintained, nothing to worry. I like the ascensor with a transparent glass window. Bar and restaurant. Amenities as mariachis on Friday o Saturdays. It’s in the River Walk, near to Villita and other attractions, it’s my second time to be a guest. I definitely recommend this hotel. See the Contessa picture! It’s wonderful!

Contessa
We arrived early, we have stayed here in the past and have never had a problem with check in, even a little early..So our room wasn’t ready, that was fine, but at 4:00, sitting in the lobby, watching numerous people check in and get their room…I got a little impatient. I was told that our level of room, and the price we paid, we would have to wait. So apparently booking through a 3rd party expect to wait. The hotel is older, but the rooms are spacious and was very clean. The location in the river is great, very walkable to everything. Breakfast one morning in the Ambler, again we have been before..the food is good, but the service was very slow. We sat at the bar for drinks two evenings and the staff was excellent, Michael at the bar was very friendly and sweet.

The location was prime for the Day of the Dead festivities, the hotel was festive and seemed to try to create a welcoming environment for visitors. An area for improvement is housekeeping, we did not get regular housekeeping services, even though the do not disturb key was not on the door. Staff at the bar did not communicate how a kitchen changeover occurred at 2pm, would lead to a delay in food ordered at 1:30, upfront communication would help especially when you are hungry! Overall, would go back and hope these little issues are ironed out.

This hotel is amazing! Very friendly staff. Happening scene. On the riverwalk. Close to everything! 8 minute walk to Alamo and 12 to the Alamodome. Service at Ambler was really slow. But everyone always made sure we had everything we needed, especially Fast Eddie. Our favorite part was the gorgeous rooftop pool. I also had a massage, which was well worth it. Thank you Jesse.
