Excellent stay, will make it my number one lodging when returning to San Antonio!
Pros:

I have always wanted to stay at the Emily Morgan hotel. Very historic building right across from the Alamo. The beds are very comfortable. And the staff went above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I especially enjoyed the huge bathtub.

Cons:

I had a hard time adjusting the air conditioner. We had to turn it off to keep from freezing. While my family was thrilled with the cold, I’m easily frozen. 😬

I was a nice old hotel, at a good location, but wouldn’t go back.
Pros:

Breakfast was not very good. Eggs were cold, food was only passable. It was not worth the price of $20! The location of Hotel was great. Hotel was nicely decorated and front desk staff were friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

Better Breakfast with food that should be warm being warm! Muffins had no taste even they looked good. Think they were too many days old to be put out again for people to eat.
