"Good value, well kept and feels more expensive than it is."

This is a nice hotel on the river, with big rooms and comfy beds. The staff were very helpful and the pool and gym were a bonus. There is valet parking and also parking across the street if you want to park yourself. There is a charge for parking. The river walk is on the doorstep and the Alamo is a 10 minute walk. There are some great restaurants in San Antonio, so it's a good place to stay. Overall, this is a very good value choice for San Antonio, with the feel of somewhere more expensive.

loved everything about this hotel ..very nice and right by the river walk and SUPER convenient, near everything literally walking distance. Like downtown site seeing, breakfast options and THE ALAMO ... just a perfect enough walk for us and the kids so no need for a rental or our own vehicle.

This hotel is amazing! It’s right on the river so ease of getting around the riverfront was easy and walkable. The hotel staff was great. The property was clean and updated. The bed and linens were very comfortable ! The pool is great as well as fitness center and restaurant and bar. We will stay here again.

"Really nice alternative to the nearby chain hotels."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Booked this for a conference at the convention center. Most of the other nearby hotels were much more expensive and after checking out the reviews and location of Contessa, booked it. Very pleased with the stay. You can exit to the street that takes you right to the convention center or directly onto the Riverwalks which gets you there as well, albeit on a slightly more meandering route. I think it was a 15 minute walk for me. I initially thought it was a re-purposed Embassy Suites, with the bedroom/sitting room combo suite and the atrium in the lobby, but the manager told me it was purpose built for them. Super clean and comfortable and even though I had a city view room there was no appreciable noise from outside. It's at one end of the riverwalk 'horseshoe' which means you have the full range of restaurants and eateries in one direction - you don't have to decide which way to go.

I got a massage from Crystal and it was great! The room was comfortable and the complementary champagne was appreciated. I felt relaxed and refreshed when I left. It was a great way to start my weekend. I absolutely recommend Contessa Spa and Crystal.
