Wonderful Historic building close to the riverwalk but far enough away from the bustle of downtown
Pros:

Ambiance and Atmosphere were exactly what I was hoping for. Lots of little areas to sit and relax - the balconies, the patio.

Cons:

Not a thing.

Awesome vibe, we will stay again!
Pros:

This place was great! We loved the vibe and the vintage feel to it. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay again.

Cons:

This wasn’t a show stopper but we did have to sit and wait for 30 minutes to check in. There was no one at the front desk but we were later explained the circumstances. Other than that little hiccup which is completely understandable, the staff was very attentive and courteous.

Exceptional
Pros:

Lovely decor a real touch of history
The room was beautiful, slightly small
Free coffee in the reception area in the morning
Perfect location for access to the Riverwalk

Cons:

The chest of drawers was vintage and was tricky, the top drawer stuck and we couldn't open it fully
Even though coffee was available in the reception in the morning, a coffee maker in the room would have been a nice touch

Pros:

Came up for a Bridal Shoot for my daughter and I to stay here and get ready. Ordered Mimosa's for two that was supposed to be beautifully set up for $55; instead the ingredients stuck in the fridge (ok fine) with no chiller left in the room and I was charged $193 after I checked out ofcourse. I tried calling, emailing and customer support and nothing. This is unacceptable.

Historic Gem in SA
Pros:

This historic hotel off the SA Riverwalk is a gem! Location is quiet and yet located within easy walking distance to sites. We loved the hardwood floors and decor throughout as well as the easy parking (with charger) and grounds. Staff excellent and responsive as well. Will visit again when in SA.

Pros:

Property was located in a quiet stretch of the Riverwalk. It was an easy walk to the center of everything, but you didn't have the craziness and chaos that exists in the central riverwalk area. At night we sat on the hotel porch, drank wine, and relaxed in relative silence. It was lovely. My only issue with the room was that it had no chair to sit and relax, you only had the bed.

Pros:

Restaurant closed for private party so no dinner or breakfast or river-side beverages. Major bummer. Room was dirty and the whole room kept shaking every 20 minutes - not sure why, maybe a train kept passing by? Told me they were charging me $100 for incidentals, then they tried to put $200 on my credit card, I spoke up, then they put $110 on my credit card. Been a long time guest at the Hotel Havana --- sad to see it's not doing very well. Hesitant to return or recommend it to anyone.

Great historic hotel with a laid back and comfortable atmosphere.
Pros:

I love historic hotel it was old yet super clean it was like a time machine to another era . Staff was friendly everything was antique yet clean . Rooms had high ceilings , windows with wooden shutters, electricity was obviously added later . The ac was cold full size refrigerator and one one the most comfortable beds and pillows I’ve experienced in awhile at a great price .

Cons:

The hotel bar was a little too dark for my taste however some people like that dim speak easy appearance I find it hard to stay awake after a good meal and a couple of drinks .
