Nice balcony that's shared which you can't see in pics. Bed is firm but comfortable. Room is really small but just right if you using it to sleep in for 2 people. It's an older building but was very pleasant to stay in and seems to be really well insulated,the only sound you hear is if someone from the next room is going in or out their door.

Ms. Margaret and Vanesa took great care of me. Even helped with an early delicious breakfast. The property is a hidden gem. And the easy access to the riverwalk and downtown was perfect for my business trip.
- 4/5
This is like a boutique hotel, the room was small with access to balcony, this is big plus. But the cleanest of balcony, windows and much more needs attention. Before seats on the chair outside we had to clean up very well before seats.The floor was completely dusty, but for a little afford could look much nicer. The location was good, quiet with access to unpaved parking for fees. Breakfast was simple but good.

Clean spacious authentic feeling suite (ie no Mc-Hotel vibe). Great location. Never drove the car for two days...easy walks anywhere we wanted to go.
- 5/5
Extremely convenient location, and beautiful river view. Kept the car at the bed and breakfast the whole trip and walked everywhere, including to the alamodome for a concert, saved a fortune on parking! The staff here are such wonderful folks. Will come back, we loved the Inn and adored the city.
- 5/5
Very charming, unique, and cozy place to stay! This place is a refurbished 3-story house nestled in the bustling city of San Antonio. Being surrounded by the usual multistory hotel buildings makes this place feel even more special. Very much recommend this place for anyone who prioritizes staying and relaxing in the room (as opposed to those who prefer a maxed itinerary outside of the lodging). However, its central location makes it a great option for those who prefer to explore the city as well. Breakfast is homemade by 1 of the 3 people who run the place, which I thought was a very special touch. May be an issue if you are a picky eater, as they take a headcount and serve the same plate to everyone but they may offer some kind of alternative if you ask. Overall, loved staying here and highly recommend!

The owner, Vanessa, and Margaret were courteous, welcoming, and attentive. The breakfast options were delicious and they accommodated our son who has food allergies! We enjoyed eating on the balcony while watching the kayakers pass by or eating in the indoor dining area while conversing with the staff. Our room and the building were clean and well stocked. We rate the Inn on the Riverwalk a 20+ out of 10 stars. We will return!

The Inn on the Riverwalk is a very nice property located on a street that dead ends at the riverwalk. There is almost no traffic and the area is nice and safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly prepared and was quite good. Overall, our stay was great.

The Inn has a wonderful staff, they are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend for a vacation from the main downtown area. Thank you Roland, Margaret and Vanessa.

Such a lovely, historic, and peaceful oasis on the busy riverwalk. I highly recommend. Margaret made us a great breakfast the next morning.

The room was very old and it was hard to "climb" onto the bed that was very high up. Bathroom was small and overall, if you like an old house, this was the place for you. However, I didn't think it was good value for how much we paid for the stay.
- 5/5
The room was as described. I loved being on the River Walk, but away from the hustle and bustle. It was within perfect walking distance to the hustle and bustle. Everyone was so nice.

I absolutely love staying at Inn on the Riverwalk; it’s my home away from home. I enjoy seeing the staff and knowing that they will take good care of me during my stay. Everyone is so kind and friendly. I don’t like that they now charge for parking.

The location is amazing! Nice cozzy place very centric but still very quiet to rest and enjoy the surroundings and disconnect from our daily habits and do new things and explore what SA has to offer.

I did not like the feeling of being rushed at breakfast time. Food options were limited, Also, the air conditioner did not cool adequately and Jacuzzi tub did not work properly. When I complained, there was no real concern or offer to do anything about it or make any adjustments on my bill.

Great hospitality, comfortable room, nice breakfast, great location.

The location was perfect. Super close to the city center and it was an easy walk to get downtown. The staff was fantastic. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. The bathroom was a little small and it was kind of hard to find a spot to plug in a flat iron to get ready in the morning.
- 5/5
Highly recommended if you're looking for a more pampered, yet affordable experience.
- 2/5
Half a mile away from the Riverwalk, if you couldn’t walk it, you would have to drive and pay to park again. You have to pay to park at the B&B. Your room never ever gets dark. Looks like you have a light on all night long when don’t. Old creaky floors, so you can hear everybody walking around specially the people above you. And your breakfast was not made to order you got what they made.

Nice clean place. Perfect for our overnight Riverwalk stay. Right on the Riverwalk. Great communication and breakfast. Bed very comfortable. Dated but cute and clean.

We had a wonderful time at the Inn. The breakfast was very good and hand made just in time for every traveler. The person was very, very nice and worked very hard to please all guests. We normally get up early and she was already there at 6am to start preparing for the break-fast at 8:30. The room was very cozy though a second chair would have been nice. But on the other hand, there were plenty of chairs on the porch outside and I spent quite a bit of time there since it was so quiet and nice outside. The owner stopped by every morning during breakfast and talked with everyone which was also a very nice touch. The house outside could use a new coat of paint and a second chair in our room would have been also nice for the evenings. Everything else was very clean and very, very comfy with nice pictures, and other things. It felt like someones home and not a hotel.

The location was excellent, and the property was clean and tidy. Just felt a bit tired, but wouldn’t say that was a reason to dislike it at all.
- 4/5
The friendliest place we have ever stayed! This relaxed friendliness caused the guests to be the same and breakfast became an enjoyable social event which included the whole room. Oh and breakfast was freshly cooked for you and again one of the best. Our bathroom looked quite new. The place in general was old, all the furniture is old and rickety but it is spotlessly clean. When you approach for the first time, you may think you have made a bad choice to stay. The exterior looks uncared for and in desperate need of maintenance. (But persevere, this little hotel is a delight)

the fact I was charged 98.00 to park infront of the house is stayed at, was not aware of this fee until I checked in. The breakfast was lacking. The room I got was not comfortable, the bed was not comfortable, the room was HOT. and humid. I got a fan to help piah the air around from unit that was below the window (like you'd see in motel rooms) the bathroom is extremely small, the house is very old and I did not know it would be as hard to be below other guest. I kept being woken up by them scooting or slamming items on the floor. Very tight enterance to the door for the room. Yes, I booked through a 3rd party however that does not mean I should have a disappointing experience at a location I book a stay at. the area of the rover this is located is not where you want to be if you're wanting to enjoy the river walk. That was the whole reason I booked that location for my stay. Was greatly disappointed in the area.

My husband and I enjoyed staying at the River Inn Bed and Breakfast. The staff was extremely kind and welcoming! We appreciated the cleanliness of our room and the easy access to the river walk. The breakfast was perfect! We enjoyed chatting with the owner Roland of the Bed and Breakfast and with Margaret. They were all very kind and friendly. Vanessa and Margaret were very diligent in emailing me back with pertinent information about our stay. We will be back!

- 3.5/5
Location and the quirkiness of the building. Good parking available as well. Clean room. Disappointed in the breakfast, no choice and the first morning there was no gluten free bread. No gluten free cereals either. Portions small. This was the most disappointing part. AC in the room was noisy but necessary!
- 2/5
The Bowie suite itself was clean and cozy though not extremely well appointed. There were no tumblers in the bathroom. (How does one rinse their moth or take meds without tumblers.) There were no facial tissues in the room. One of the most important amenities advertised for this room, the corkscrew, was not provided. The bed was so far off the floor that my wife needed a step stool to get in it. The air conditioner was an old style motel through-the-wall type unit. Having the compressor in the wall makes it uncomfortably loud. The ultimate insult was, after being charged over $400 for two nights for mediocre accommodations, I was charged an extra $30.00 for parking. They need to make it very clear, when booking on a third party website, that parking is extra. The breakfast was good and enjoyable and the lady cooking was friendly and efficient. Overall, this was a disappointment. I would not recommend.

Such an amazing little bed and breakfast! My honey and I loved the location. It’s on the riverwalk but far enough away from the bars and restaurants that you don’t hear the noise. The room was comfortable and cool. Bathroom a tad bit small but I was expecting that. Overall it was one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed.
- 4/5
Honestly, I expected the property to be kept up a little better and be a little closer to the river walk restaurants. However, the room was quaint, comfortable and clean. I was told to arrive before 3 for check in but when I arrived at 1:30 no one was there. However, when I called, the gentleman on the phone got me into my room. He was very pleasant. Breakfast was nice very good the next morning and I checked in just before checking out. All and all it was pleasant but I guess I expected a little more for the price of the room.

Inn on the Riverwalk is a unique and special property, would happily stay again if in San Antonio.
- 2/5
While not without charm, the inn is run down and faded - not what we expected for the steep price. Beat up furniture is not antique, just old.. stained upholstery on chairs.. bathroom tiny.. all polyester bedding.. The staff/owners were friendly and helpful. Location is good, and parking is convenient. All in all though, disappointing.

Quiet area and a short walk to the area on the Riverwalk with restaurants and shops. The breakfast was delicious and the owners were very pleasant and accommodating. The walk to the central part of the River Walk was about 10-15 minutes away.

Use of Lift Services was an excellent way to move around Houston. The second floor of the Main house has a great view of the city and the River Walk and a large balcony; if stairs are a challenge for you, try to avoid this Suite.

The property is in a great location. The website needs to be updated with more accurate photos for the suite we were in. The facilities need some repair. It was an interesting property and I think the other suites connected to the main building would have been better.

We had a delightful stay at the Inn. Our room was clean and very comfortable, off a charming porch that overlooked the Riverwalk. We ate our dinner the night we left on that porch. Just delightful. More generally, the location of the Inn, on the Riverwalk just a bit south of the commercial/hotel/restaurant area, was ideal.

Excellent location on the River walk. Staff was exceptionally welcoming, helpful, responsive. Facilities perfectly adequate -- older home, comfortable. Unable to take advantage of breakfast, so they left big muffins and energy bars in our room for our long walking days.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights for our little get away. The breakfast was wonderful and made to order. Their service was spot on! We couldn't have asked for a better host. The location was within walking distance to all of the places you'd want to see and visit while in SA. The views were beautiful from all of the bedrooms. Definitely a little part of heaven on earth right on the riverwalk.

We will definitely stay here again! It was comfortable, cozy. Though it was on the Riverwalk it was off the beaten path so very very quiet. The staff was very friendly.

Loved the Bed and Breakfast and the view and peacefulness. Not a bad walk to River Walk. Was a little disappointed about being charged for parking and for the bikes they offer you to ride, was not told about that up front and didn’t see it on their website! But overall it was a beautiful place and had a great time!
