Pros:

Wir wurden in allen Teilen des Hotels (Rezeption, Bar, Essen, Zimmerservice, Valet) sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend behandelt. Überrascht und fasziniert hat uns die Historie des Gebäudes und die Lage des Hotels. Die Einrichtung war etwas älter und abgewohnter, aber es war relativ sauber. Das Essen war leider für unseren Geschmack und Unverträglichkeit (Gluten und Laktose) völlig ungeeignet und das "Kantinen-Gefühl" hat den Standard der restlichen Anlage leider nicht repräsentiert. Es wirkten aber alle anderen sehr glücklich mit dem Essen. Sehr schön fanden wir den Whirlpool auf dem Dach (der aber leider auch nicht funktionierte).

Cons:

Das Essen (Frühstück sowie Abendessen) war leider sehr einfach und für Unverträglichkeit maximal ungeeignet.

Nice stay
Pros:

We landed after 17 hours flight and lost baggage, exhausted. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We lost things a couple of times and they were both returned. Room was comfortable for a family of 4, separate living area was essential as we got over jet lag. Breakfast and snacks area was really well managed despite crowds. Rooftop Pool was a nice respite at the end of hot days, though mostly in the sun. Valet was expensive but ultimately convenient, just a couple of delays in busy periods which were a little frustrating. All in all a lovely stay.

Cons:

Seems to be rising damp around the riverwalk area including this hotel, a bit of a musty small pervaded the area. We would still return though, the central location was great for a family.

Pros:

המלון במרכז העניינים,לא הזזנו את הרכב יומיים שביקרנו בעיר.
החדר נעים ,המיטה נוחה מאד.
ארוחת הבוקר הייתה טרייה וההפתעה הייתה הדרינק וארוחת ערב קלה במלון לחא עלות. שאפו!

Cons:

החנייה מאד יקרה ליום,זה ממש מייקר את הסיפור בעוד למעלה מ100 דולר ליומיים.

Nice, historic hotel with a lot of character. My suite was super nice. Very modern and attractive.
Pros:

Buffet was good. Breakfast was good with considerable variety. I had chicken fajitas one night that were really good! Staff was very nice and helpful. Location was excellent but parking was a little confusing at first.

Cons:

I think some clipped a thermos of mine while I was there. May have left it in the room, but I don’t think so. Probably disappeared from car. I should have locked it remotely after it was parked. Not a big deal, just a little disappointing compared to otherwise excellent service.

Good, we enjoyed the dinner, the bar and breakfast.
Pros:

The nostalgia! An old bank from the late 20's turned into a hotel.

Cons:

A lot of noise from hallway in the middle of the night unfortunately, and our tub had sand/dirt deposits in the water when my wife ran her bath water. We notified the desk personell. Never seen that at any hotel specially at any of the other Drury Inn we stayed in.

Good base for when exploring downtown San Antonio; perfect for families and solo travelers alike
Pros:

It is perfectly located in downtown San Antonio; very close to Riverwalk and then to Alamo. The staff are also very warm and hospitable. I also enjoy the hearty snacks that they serve the guests every late afternoon; they can be filling enough to be dinner! I am also very happy that the hotel has a laundry station!

Cons:

The hotel is a little old and you could tell it from the facilities. But all in all I still had a very pleasant stay
