10/10 Exceptional

Great place.

I always have a fantastic day at this hotel. It’s a small hotel so you don’t have to walk very far. It’s quiet it’s clean. The staff is always very kind. Sarah that works at the front desk was beyond helpful. She gave me everything I needed. Give me some good tips on places to eat and was very kind.
Sabrina, 3-night trip

Comfortable stay

For an older building it was a very comfortable place to stay. The ambiance was lovely. We had no issues with the room at all.
Leann, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Likely never again

Staff was friendly. Beds and pillows haven’t been updated since probably the 90s. Stayed on the Navarro side, you will hear EVERY noise outside, just so you know.
Melissa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I always love staying at the O’Brien. A very cute small hotel. Close to every place I like to visit when in San Antonio.
Gloria, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The whole hotel needs updating , the room smelled like mold , the bed was hard as a rock .. places in the floor felt like they would give away and fall through any minute. It’s not worth the 120.09 a night to stay at . Plus you get charged 25.00 to park ..

Juan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay! Great staff!

Small but cute boutique hotel in downtown San Antonio. Staff was amazing from the start. Rooms are small and quaint but comfortable. It's a no frills historic hotel but that is definitely not a negative. The only complaint I have is that the ac wall unit illuminates more light than I care for at night.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a very convenient location.
Tonia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent Hotel!

This is a fantastic hotel! Conveniently located walking distance to the Riverwalk and other attractions. Parking is a little tricky, but there is a parking garage next door for a fee. The room was very nice and comfortable. The front staff was accommodating and very friendly. This was our second stay here and we will be returning! FYI, all of the rooms on the first floor have jetted tubs. They were a little difficult for someone like me with short legs to get in to shower, but manageable. There was also, a coffee pot and cold mini fridge. See you soon, O’Brien!
Mary, 2-night trip

Will be the hotel I choose everytime I come to San Antonio! Loved how close it was to the riverwalk, didn’t even have to use the car

Vincent, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very pleasant stay! The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. While the building has an older charm, the rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The location is fantastic—close to many great restaurants and attractions. Although breakfast isn’t offered, it wasn’t a problem for us given the variety of nearby options. Parking was conveniently located and reasonably priced, just something to keep in mind when planning your stay. A big thank you to the staff for their excellent hospitality!
