Hotel 1914 - Historic Alamo Riverwalk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

I like it all.. not to fancy.. cold ac room Slightly dirty but a cold room for sure and comfortable

It was loud because its such a old hotel. Didn't bother us, but it may bother others.

The walk ability was nice, the valet crew was friendly, the room's restroom was nice enough, and the 2 employees I interacted with were kind. The hotel room icky, smelled like smoke when it was supposed to be a smoke free room, the halls were humid and extremely hot, the elevator was dirty, the room felt cheap/torn curtains, only 1 socket worked (the rest were so loose nothi g could be plugged in), the small throw pillows instead of actual were not okay, and the free breakfast was not anything to be interested in.

Superb

The location is close to the Alamo, literally 5 minutes walk from the hotel.

Historic hotel has its kinks but the pool was so nice and restaurant was amazing.would stay again

My only complaint was the high price of parking. Because of its location you have absolutely no options but to park where you're paying other than that it was excellent

Kinda musty and dusty. Great location. Staff was super nice and friendly.

Very helpful staff, and the hotel was very close to everything I wanted to see. 10/10, I would recommend staying here to anyone! Although, if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs because the street can get noisy at some points.

Hotel is in a great location. Very close to lots of site seeing areas. Hotel was a bit older - but still nice, comfortable, and clean. My room was on the street side and it was VERY noisy as I could hear everything from the street. Breakfast was good (nothing fancy but still enough to start the day with).

The hotel is nice and clean no parking so u have to pay 50$ dollars per night for valet parking but for us the only turn d

Indian themed

It was a good distance . Too small and the elevators were tiny.

Exceptional

It was close to everything and the room was clean

Bed was big and comfortable however too big for the size of the room as there was no room to move around and the chair at the desk was a folding chair,

The location of the hotel is good but one thinks was not good the bathroom didn’t have a operating air ventilation therefore we requested air fresher spray the hotel did not provided.

Plug socket had no power. On sconce light was flickering the whole time. I chose not to call anyone on it. No room to maneuver on side of the bed with wall. The desk had no usable plugs for computer or phones. All plugs were used for TV and refrigerator at the desk. no room to maneuver between bed and closet cabinet when door were open. Had room on the main street side and had to deal with lots of outside noise when sleeping. I won't stay there again and would not recommend the hotel. Staff were fine and breaksfast was basic and good.

The hotel is in an older building as you can tell. Overall, it was clean, but clearly there were some things they may need to update or maintain. The carpets looked like they needed a deep cleaning or replacement and the elevator was creaky and small. Overall, for the price it was a good deal. Walking distance to tons a places downtown and right next to the Alamo!

Valet was super helpful and timely, front desk was efficient but not overly welcoming to be honest. The room was comfortable and clean. The window however seemed to let in a lot of noise and hot air even though it was closed. Otherwise great experience and stay at this hotel + would stay again!

Location,Location. Breakfast needs a bit of variety. Rooms are very small, you can hear everything from outside as the windows do not shield the noise.

Old historic building. Room was clean and bed was comfortable, however it was very small. The room was great for just sleeping, but if you plan to spend a lot of time in your room, it might not be the place for you.

Our room was right above the main street of Broadway. The outdoor noise was so bad that we would wake up multiple times each night of our stay. Management should consider installation of noise cancelling windows.

We had to ask to have our room clean and we had to ask before 9:00am.

Passable

Great hotel comfy bed plus you had everything in the room. Microwave, fridge coffee maker it was perfect just a little loud outside but didn’t bother me much because the city had a lot of night life I enjoyed.

Beds were comfortable, room was clean and hotel smelled nice.

The convenient location was the only positive thing about this location. The rooms are not as described nor as shown in the pictures on booking.com. The rooms are so incredibly small an average sized human could stand in between the mattress and desk sideways and not fit. The rooms are incredibly dimly lit. The fixtures and lighting are so harsh and unwelcoming. There is not a single cozy thing about this place. The entry way and lobby are dirty and grimy and the booking website does not show this. The rooms smelled musty and mildewy. The night desk attendant was less than helpful when it came time to get a refund, he was disinterested and unwilling to help outside of giving us another subpar room. The doors offer zero sound isolation and you can hear everything going on in the hall and neighboring rooms.

The free breakfast was very disappointing and the rooms where extremely small and not like the picture and just very disappointing

Good location to Tobin center

Modern and updated.

.

Location, very comfortable beds and clean rooms. Staff are always friendly and pleasant. Breakfast, it lacks variety. Rooms facing the main street, you hear everything. Its time to update the windows unable to sleep.

Love the place and it has beautiful lighting

I like it there

Unhelpful staff

N/A

It is a very old historic building. However, the room and the bathroom were updated and clean. Breakfast was good. It is a very convenient place to stay for visiting the Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk. Use the inexpensive parking in the lot on the corner a half block away on the same street. Some use valet at the hotel but this lot is less expensive and very convenient. You pay by phone.

Location was great, so was everything else

Overall a great experience. The proximity to the Alamo and Riverwalk was a short walk. Very pleasant place to stay.

Close to every thing N/a

Cost was great. Several electric outlets did not work. Could hear street noises.

Thank u for boy who find me steamer to prepare my dress to the concert, u all amazing!! no water I think 1 complimentary water should be in the room?

Overall great stay, staff was super helpful

This is an old historic hotel that has been updated of course. Hotel was clean, breakfast was great. We did have a couple of small issues that staff fixed right away. The hotel is in a great location. We parked our car on Wednesday didn’t see it again until Saturday. Easy walk to all downtown attractions.

Cute cozy hotel at a great central location. Loved the Indian restaurant!

Staff were really nice but room was old and dirty

The staff weren’t friendly and barely spoke to us. Street noise was also incredibly loud—even from our room on the third or fourth floor, it sounded like cars were driving right beside us. Overall, a very disappointing stay.

The elevator is extremely small so it just fits two people or one and a cart. There is no parking in clouded. You either have to get valet for around 50 a night with tax or find your own parking. But you are literally down the street from Alamo Plaza and less than a mile from the Riverwalk

Excelente!!!!!

If you like historic this is great if you are expecting updated amenities to go with it this might not be the place for you. A comfortable stay and affordable. There's an Indian restaurant in the lobby and the food is amazing but the aroma of curry ruminates through the lobby.

Great location, friendly staff, restaurant attached was delicious. Everything said they had basic toiletries in case if you forgot something, specifically shaving cream. When asked for it, they didn’t have it. That was literally the only thing negative, which quite honestly doesn’t even matter. You will enjoy your stay.

My husband love this hotel , we have gone 3years in a row for a alone getaway. It’s walking distance to the riverwalk . They have valet service for parking with an app that when you want to request your car . Breakfast is great!

Overall good to stay. Parking is either Valet $80 valet or parking across the street $30 a day. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, cereal coffee or oj.

Clean room. Good location.

Historic hotel with a modern twist close to both the Riverwalk and the Alamo!

Rooms were cramped, unclean, and the staff was put off by any and all questions. Hotel has a indescribable smell all throughout, and overall was a rather poor experience for us, and other guests we met. Would NEVER recommend, nor would we ever stay there again.

Very nice hotel

We received a room on the first floor next to the street and valet. It was noisy all night long and we didn’t sleep-it was horrible. Best part of the experience was the valet person.

Great location, helpful and friendly staff

The hotel was very good would recommend to anyone to stay there was one discrepancy is the continental breakfast could have been better but all and all was a 5. Plus lost my wallet and they were very accepting for are reservation on getting use into are room

Couldn't sleep most of the night,the walls are paper-thin, you could absolutely hear people talking as they walked down the street not to mention the rowdy crowds after leaving the bars and cars zooming down the road,maybe an inside room away from the street would've been a better choice, but definitely won't stay again

We liked the Indian restaurant that was on site

Great unique place to stay

Guy at the front desk never got off the phone while checking me in. The hallway by my room had a stench to it. The lady checking me out was professional though.

Have to valet park since it is a downtown location.

Quirky old hotel in a walkable area. Breakfast was just coffee and a few packaged pastries. Bed was comfortable. Convenient valet parking, although nearby self park lots were cheaper and convenient too.

👎

Yummy breakfast, amazing staff

Very cute hotel. I will agree with the Google reviews saying it's loud on the weekends at night. We loved our stay though.

Really great staff. Make sure specifically ask about parking at the front desk so you can get a discount. There is only public parking or valet. The restaurant is excellent.

The hotel was close to everything very walkable.

You have to pay for parking at this location so be aware of that and its 30 dollar per 24 hrs😬

Room was very small. But given the age of the hotel, it’s not surprising! It actually made for a very cozy overnight stay. We would stay here again for sure!

Would not recommend

Check in was smooth, every staff member we interacted with was very kind and helpful (and even took our totalled luggage for disposal - thank you very much). The elevators are small but do what they need to do. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good, all the usual continental breakfast fare. The hotel is close to transit/attractions. Overall very satisfied and would stay here again.

A

Great place

Great location. I’m over having to pay for parking though.

The staff was very nice and housekeeping does a very great job on cleanliness , only the parking was an issue. But you can park at a lot that is on broadway st between 3rd and 4th street that only charged me $40 for 2 full days But the hotel is wonderful. I will be back on Christmas Eve for a 2 day stay. Also the hotel is in a perfect location to walk to all the Attractions.

Everything was good...just didn't like the ac unit...but it was okay

Positives: Location was very central and walking distance to downtown/riverwalk. Room was ready very early and we were able to get early check in. Gym is pretty good for a hotel gym. Negatives: Ants crawling all throughout the bathroom. Room and property needed a deep cleaning. The window shades were falling apart. ANTS crawling all over the bathroom counter. One elevator was broken the entirety of our stay without any notice or signage. I was told there were no stairs when I asked, but I knew this could not be true and we eventually found them. The breakfast was pitiful. They had very limited options that were poor quality; the lack of effort was evident. The door to the lobby was broken and stayed unlocked at night; anyone could enter the lobby and up the elevator. A pizza delivery flyer was placed in our room door overnight. Super noisy at night especially on the weekend since there is a bar on the street right below.

It looked smaller than the pictures but honestly not a bad place to stay. We were literally downtown within walking distance of everything

Very close to the Tobin Center, which is why we chose it.

Asked for 2 queen beds and we had double. The hotel is dated but clean.

It was a comfortable stay. The hotel and the room were clean and the staff was helpful. The breakfast left much to be desired, nothing fresh, no fruit and lots of processed carbs and powdered eggs. My room was on the 7th floor which had steps, leading to the rooms, so it was no fun carrying a suitcase up and down those stairs. The hotel was in walking distance to all attraction downtown, which I appreciated. I felt safe.

However, the room was very small and somewhat uncomfortable to use. I was also disappointed that there was no self-parking option and that valet parking was required, costing an additional $45 or more. I don’t recall seeing this extra parking cost clearly disclosed when making the reservation. Overall, the hotel was nice, but the small room, shower booth, and unexpected parking expense were disappointing. Thank you.

very convenient and close to everything

Location good, if you want towels or trash removal you have to put in a request in by 9AM , breakfast not good

The hotel has a great location, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The front desk staff were unfriendly, and one of the elevators was out of order. Because they are extremely small, we had to wait in line for 20 minutes just to get up to our room. To make matters worse, our room was extremely noisy—we could hear all the street traffic, so we couldn't rest or sleep at all. Furthermore, the description promised a "full breakfast," but in reality, they only offered biscuits and a couple of cereal options, which was very disappointing.

The hotel is nothing about selling in the app the room is too small and ugly

The breakfast was limited and one of the elevators was not working.

Amazing place. Staff was superb.

Really enjoyed the room and the beautiful view

clean room

Amazing!!!! Highly recommended!

Breakfast was really good, Room was cleaned and staff was really helpful. Not much for the view. Closed to Alamo attraction.

I hardly ever write reviews, but I was pretty disappointed with this hotel. For starters, there is no parking, only valet. The room was also very small, probably smaller than a new york hotel room. Finally, the pillows are not full size pillows, they were decor sized pilows.

Clean, close restaurants and coffee, but the room was so tiny. We could barely move around in there. Only 1 elevator made it long to get up and down at dinner time and checkout. It’s a tiny elevator so not many fit.

I had to go to SanAntonio for business. This hotel came up on Expedia at a reasonable price. The hotel itself is old, not in the best part of town and a few blocks from the Riverwalk. I stayed a night and the windows are old and single pane glass so the street noise is significant. The room was clean enough, but I wouldn’t book it again if I ever went back to San Antonio.

Mini pool Breakfast horrible no food at 9 am Supposed be until 930 am

The price of parking was 45.00 a night, and the breakfast was short on food.

The place was nice, but I wouldn’t expect anything from the staff. Stay somewhere else if you would like better service. There are tons of similarly priced hotels on the riverwalk.

Walking distance to the Alamo and Riverwalk. Excellent food at the Indian restaurant on the hotel property. Staff was very helpful and friendly . Room was very comfortable.

It was a problem getting toilet paper and coffee pods. We were there 5 days and had to ask each day for supplies. Housekeeping never came which was fine as I don’t need my room cleaned every day but would like to have supplies replenished. The restaurant below was very fragrant but if you like Indian cuisine you’ll be fine. It’s not on the riverwalk, it’s a few blocks away which isn’t a bad walk unless the heat is bad.

Had a problem initially but it was addressed immediately. Parking is expensive everywhere so plan on walking or renting scooters. Make sure to thank & tip Vanessa for getting a hot free breakfast ready every morning.

Very nice with all the antique amenities and close to the Riverwalk

From the start, the parking situation was highly frustrating. There was no standard parking available, and we were left with the choice of paying $50 for valet or $122 for nearby daily self-parking. Furthermore, upon arrival, I had to wait 10 minutes for my room to become available. The issues continued inside the room. The television did not work, and when I tried to call the operator for assistance, no one answered. I had to go down to the lobby myself to get help. Eventually, a housekeeper came to the room and had to climb on top of the furniture just to plug the television cord in. Shortly after, I discovered that the room's remote control was also broken. Once again, I called the operator twice without success, forcing me to return to the lobby and wait for someone to assist me at the front desk. When I explained my frustration to the staff member on duty, she was polite but informed me that the maintenance team had left the property at 4:00 PM and that she could not be of much help, other than sending another remote control with a housekeeper. This has been the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. Given the lack of basic amenities, the broken equipment, and the unresponsive guest services, I request that management review this matter. Sincerely, Maria Gil

Breakfast !

The room was clean and the staff were friendly. It's very close to the Riverwalk and you are right down town. The only draw back was parking. They only offer valet and it's $45 a night. I do wish they had other parking options but but I definitely enjoyed my stay and will stay here again.

Super good

Excellent

Everything was good and funtional. The pool very clean and I got to enjoy by myself like around 9:00pm. The breakfast with multiple options. The staff members very comunicative.
