I travel often, having stayed at such up scale hotels like The Drake, The Ritz, Four Season's and some dumps like Extended Stays, Red Roof etc.... so I have a pretty good perspective on hotels. I am 31 my wife is 27. I was in San Antonio for business and choose the Hotel Contessa because I wanted a nice hotel,... more

My family and I have been staying at Hotel Contessa for about two years know every time we go to SA for a weekend escape from big Dallas. But most recently we stayed in the hotel for the fourth of july weekend and cannot express how satisfied my family is with the hotel. At the end of the day if... more

My hubby must come for business to San A. often. He has stayed at the Watermark and the Omni. I chose the Hotel Contessa because just wanted to see how it was, looked neat in pictures. San Antonio is a wonderful place; I had no idea it has all the stuff it does. Wow! Thank goodness they didn't pave over... more

The customer service of the Hotel Contessa is a lot to be desired. Our flight to San Antonio was delayed and we called the Hotel to relay that information and they said that was fine and they would have our room ready when we arrived. When we went to check in they told us we were going to another Hotel... more

This is a beautiful hotel on a "quiet" part of the river walk. Very clean and comfortable with large suite-type rooms. The staff, especially at the front desk and the concierge, were extremely courteous and helpful. Even though it wasn't on the main part of the river walk, it only took us ten minutes walking to get to the restaurants,... more

If you are NOT traveling with kids who will occupy the living room area of the "suite", then this hotel really isn't worth it. The room is the size that a regular room at a luxury hotel would be, but they chop it in half to create a "suite". The bedroom area is small with an old TV (most luxury... more

We had a wonderful time in San Antonio! This hotel was central to everything...a short walk across the river to La Vallita...3 minutes and we were in the heart of the Riverwalk restaurants, the Alamo was 4 blocks away...it was perfect. Pay a little extra for a Riverview...worth it...just make sure it's actually a riverview and not blocked by trees...The... more

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were great and the location was within walking distance to everything . The price was reasonable since we booked both the flight and hotel together through expedia. 4 nights just over $600!! For people who like nicer hotels but don't like to spend a fortune this hotel is a great pick.... more

I stayed at the Hotel Contessa over a long weekend. The room was great, with a nice view of the riverwalk. That's about all the positives I can give. I was there for 5 days, and only saw the housekeeping once. And that was only because my girlfriend went to complain. When she was intercepted by a bellhop, he said... more
