A Word From Our Fans

Great place to stay on the River Walk

We spent five nights at the Hotel Contessa, and we enjoyed it very much. The suite had a living room with a couch that made out to a bed, a big bathroom and bedroom, and a dressing room that divided the bedroom from the living room. My wife and I had our two grandchildren with us, and there was plenty of room for the four of us. The hotel is located in a perfect location, because it is in the middle of everything. You can walk to anything on the River Walk as well as the Alamo Plaza.

Our favorite hotel in San Antonio!

My husband and I had moved from another hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio to this one and couldn’t have been happier about our choice. The room was spacious and the view was beautiful. The hotel backs onto the Riverwalk so we were able to walk down to our favorite restaurants in a matter of minutes. The pool was absolutely gorgeous. We truly couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Great Stay

I stayed here with my wife and furry kids for one night. Great location right on the River Walk. The room was big and clean. It had been sanitized and sealed right before our arrival which was nice to see. Highly recommend for your next stay.
