Great location, beautiful hotel!

We so enjoyed staying at the Contessa Hotel! Beautiful big rooms! Everything clean and comfortable. The restaurant at the hotel on the river had delicious food and fantastic service! We will definitely stay here next time we are in San Antonio.
View from our table at the Ambler Restaurant in the Contessa Hotel! Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the Riverwalk while having a delicious meal.

Great Stay!

Great stay! I inspect everythingggggg and I’m a super germaphobe. I felt comfortable walking around barefoot in the room so that says a lot! Very clean, spacious. I wish the double beds were queen and not full size but that’s okay. I also found a pack of cigarettes in the couch from possibly a previous guest but I was willing to overlook it because everything else was very positive. I would definitely stay here again!

Great hotel, although I’d say the amenities are not for younger children. The pool is more for adults. The hotel is better for teens and up. The rooms are very spacious and well maintained. We slept great and loved that we had easy access to the Riverwalk. Highly recommend!

Nice big rooms. Comfortable bed. Quiet rooms. Great location. Nice pool and hot tub. Friendly staff. I got charged for parking even though I didn’t have a car. I also got charged for drinks I never ordered. The front staff told me they would take it off my bill, but it’s been a week and I still haven’t received my deposit back on my credit card. I would stay there again but definitely watch the room charges that are arbitrarily added to your bill.
