Reviews
The hotel is praised for its cleanliness, modern design, and friendly staff. The location is also highly appreciated for its proximity to the Riverwalk and Alamodome. However, some guests have complained about the noise from the street and the lack of free parking.

The valet staff Our stay was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The shower in our original room was broken, forcing us to switch rooms. The first room they moved us to smelled terrible, so we had to switch again. During the move, my girlfriend accidentally left her shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in our original room. These were brand-new, high-end products worth about $120. The move happened around 7 PM, and the room had not been cleaned yet. A houseman had been in the room, and when we immediately went back to get the items, they were gone. We reported this to the front desk and followed up several times over the next few days, but were met with rude, dismissive responses and constantly brushed off. We asked to speak with a manager multiple times, but he was never available. We also sent emails and never received a response. To make matters worse, after checkout my girlfriend realized she had left her AirPods behind. More than a week later, the hotel still claims they hadn't found them, despite the location continuing to show them at the property. I just want our belongings back or a replacement of them. The only positive part of our stay was the valet staff, who were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, everyone else made this one of the most frustrating hotel experiences we've had. Between the broken shower, multiple room changes, missing belongings, ignored emails, unavailable management, and rude front desk staff, I would never stay here again.

Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly when I raised concerns and requested a room change. The reception area also looked immaculate, which unfortunately made the condition and cleanliness of the rooms even more disappointing by comparison. Really disappointing stay — the bathroom was dirty, with hair everywhere and mould, and the visibly dirty glassware made me question whether the room had been properly cleaned or the bedsheets changed. Staff were helpful and quickly arranged a room change, but the second room wasn’t much better, and I ended up cleaning it myself just to feel comfortable sleeping there. The location was misleading, as it’s a 15-minute walk to the Alamo and 20 minutes to the River Walk, and the mandatory valet parking seemed bizarre when the car park was right there and we felt like we were simply handing over our keys for no real reason.

The staff was extremely nice. I apologize that I didn't get her name. she was super nice and explained everything properly to me. We were coming in for my sons Air force graduation. The area was great and we found food places really easy. although we had to park on the street because we chose not to valet we found parking easily every time we came back. We loved the room and the space. I was able to sit at the desk and focus on getting some work done. And last but not least. The beds were were sooo soft.

Great hotel centered around the musical venue. Super cute.
- 5/5
Valet parking was great and at a reasonable price. The hotel was very clean and at walking distance from many places, and the staff was professional. The only issue is that once you leave the premises, good luck hearing back from them if you call about a missing item, even after being promised to receive a call back.

Very beautiful hotel, with updated features. It does get a bit loud at night with the downtown crowd. However, I’d stay here every time.

We were placed on the first floor facing the street and wow was it noisy. Like so noisy it was comical. We will most likely never stay here again because of that. Also, the coffee and chocolate croissants were not good at all. My daughters were pretty disappointed with the lack of sleep and underwhelming croissants. Womp.

The unique design, the friendly and helpful staff, the bar inside the lobby for us to start our night, the speak easy room ( top secret) and it was clean. The amenities didn’t work; the phone, the iron, and the tv remote.

Con: the hotel could have been cleaner. My room was smelling stale, sheets were semi-stained (could tell they tried to take out a stain), and carpet could have been cleaner.

The room smelled like urine. Nice hotel.Staff was helpful.
- 2/5
Not what I thought it would be. Didn’t like area felt unsafe to walk. Pd extra for city view. Was put on first floor and had a parking lot and a charging station and employee smoking section (?) directly out my window. She said the city view was loud. I wouldn’t have pd for that if I knew. It was clean but the smell of cleaning solution was so strong it made me queasy. The fridge was so cold it froze everything.

Staff very helpful and friendly I should’ve asked to change rooms and didn’t know if there were any available to do so. The room had an odor as if it had recently been wet and had a moldy air that didn’t circulate well

There is strong odor of mildew throughout the hotel. We originally had a room that was extremely strong and then staff accommodated us and move us to another room which started off great , no smells. Then after day one , the mildew smell returned. It was explained that the odor can come from the A/C being on continuously. Which is odd because we have stayed at multiple other hotels and the AC was running the whole time and never got a hint of mildew smell. The AC system is also an older version of AC unit that is actually in the room

When we arrived we had difficulties finding parking. The hotel offers valet however due to a game it was full. Then our room faced the street the lighting was not the best however due to the window facing the street theres no way you can open the curtains. The worst part of it all was all the noise from cars, motorcycle and people leaving the area bars. The rooms that have the street were poorly designed theres no sound barrier all night long cars racing, burning out, loud music. It was not an enjoyable 2 nights. Staff was good, hotel is nice clean and cool chic bive.

When I saw the high ratings for this property, I was excited about our stay. When we got to the room, I found it was just okay. The room could be very nice, but it seemed stripped. There were a bunch of empty shelves and no microwave. The bar and lobby area were nice, but the room left me underwhelmed.
- 4/5
overall a good experience - i enjoy staying here often. this time, the glasses in the room were previously used and left there. that was unfortunate but other than that, the stay was okay.

Absolutely amazing I will be using BW Aiden hotels from now on. It was my 2nd one to stay at. Extremely clean, love the themes of the hotels. Always in a great area. I originally booked yesterday at a BW 10 min away that was a nightmare, walked in and checked right back out and found this Aiden hotel and immediately made a reservation. Saved my weekend trip. Stick to Aiden hotels when it comes to BW if there is one in the city you are staying in! Trust me. There are cute little shops and restaurants around this area you can just walk to. We did valet parking that's 30 a night and then had to do a 30 deposit hold on my card. If you don't want to do valet after 6pm you can mark for free at night along street. Will definitely be back!

This was our second time staying at this resort. Hotel is in a convenient location and room was nice. We did find a find a few old stains on the sheets, however, and tiny little ants on the bathroom towels. We requested new sheets and towels for this reason and received them promptly. Staff was courteous and helpful, valet was quick in delivering our vehicle. We had been weary about vehicle break-ins in the city, but thankfully this doesn’t seem to be an issue at this hotel.
- 1/5
The hotel has a valet service and the front office staff will tell you that you can pay cash so that you don’t have to pay taxes. When you insert your card payment for incidentals you will still get charged for valet even if you paid cash. Easy way for staff members to pocket “cash” valet payments and double charge you for a service. They also do a terrible job at responding to their emails. Will not be staying here again.
- 5/5
We arrived a few hours earlier than the expected check-in but we were able to leave our vehicle parked and dropped off our bags with front desk. Front desk clerk and valet were incredibly helpful and nice, appreciated their help and attention. Hotel is located within walking distance to Riverwalk, mall, Alamo and other major attractions in downtown area. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. There were a few stains on the walls in our bedroom and we did have to ask for sheets for sofa bed, but front desk had those sent up pretty quickly. One drawback was how loud traffic is at night, we could hear emergency vehicles throughout the night and vehicles racing by on and off all night which was annoying, but that all comes with the area. Overall it was a good stay and would recommend to others.

This is a very clean modern hotel close to major downtown attractions. Unfortunately, my room had maintenance issues. The toilet never stopped running, so I had to turn off the water or listen to the pipes whine. (If you have 100 toilets, shouldn't you have the basic replacement parts on hand? They wear out periodically) The refrigerator was not working. Fortunately, the guy who came to look at it found some sort of breaker on the back that just needed to be reset. Still, it shows cleaning staff didn't pay attention to it being room temp inside. Finally, there was no handle on the shower to turn the water on. I had to wrap a wash cloth around the bolt where the handle was supposed to be to turn the water on and off. Still, it would have been a nice place and my results were probably the perfect storm of things going wrong in one room.

Would have rated 5 stars, but about 3Am our sleep was disrupted by our neighbors. Loud music and talking, banging etc went on for hours. There was also a weird smell like old water damage through out the hotel, I pray it wasn’t mold. Otherwise staff was pleasant and hotel was clean. Beds were comfortable that’s important!

My stay was extremely disappointing. I paid for valet parking because it should provide added security and peace of mind, yet someone attempted to break into my car while it was parked inside the hotel's designated parking garage leaving my window shattered. To make matters worse, the hotel staff simply stated they don't cover theft or vehicle damage. Paying extra for valet only to deal with a broken window and no accountability completely overshadowed my stay. I would not recommend this hotel.
- 5/5
Great hotel to stay at!
- 4/5
The place is really nice. The room was great. Location prefect. The only reason I gave them low stars is because at 9:45 pm I tried to get a drink. Night cap style after dinner to watch the end of the soccer match. But the bar tender rather rudely responded with, “you can only have a shot out of a plastic cup because I cleaned up already.” I took my $15 shot an retreated to the solitude of my room to watch the end of the game.

The bathroom was the best among the few hotels that we stayed in San Antonio. Water pressure is good, shower space is large and air conditioning is working great. Room was spacious. The location is good too, only a few minutes walk from the convention center and Amtrak station.
