My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights to visit family and vacation in the area. We were hoping to have a home away from home, with boutique charm. The only positives we that we were within walking distance to many downtown attractions, the daily room rate didn’t break the bank, and there didn’t seem to be any bed bugs or other pests. Our stay there was an overall unsatisfactory experience, from the property itself (“historic” translated to old and not well-maintained) to the lack of care from the staff. Some examples: To get a lukewarm-to-warm shower, we had to run the faucets for several minutes. Tiles in the bathroom were dislodged and I suspect there was some water leakage behind them For the full week we were there, our room was not serviced. The hotel claimed that rooms could only be serviced if a request the day before was made. Even with the advanced request, our room was never serviced. Trash was not taken out. New towels, a refill of shower gel, and toilet paper were only provided upon request. When we requested new sheets on the bed, a set of sheets was left on a chair in the room to make ourselves. Multiple requests for new cups/glasses were not fulfilled. Front desk staff seemed apathetic and unwelcoming. While our time at the O’Brien was not unpleasant enough to cut our stay short, we stayed due to the hassle of finding somewhere else in the middle of our trip. I would not stay at this hotel the next time I visit San Antonio.

we stayed 2 nights. 1. we expected that with a hotel at this location and price range we would get service to our room. when we got back to our hotel in the evening, there had been no maid service … bed unmade, etc. we mentioned this to the front desk, and they said you have to request it in advance, but that was not mentioned at check-in. 2. The hotel parking rate at the nearby garage was $27 per night. ridiculous. close by parking was available at $10 a night. 3. A family who had stayed in the hotel multiple nights had to check out but had to wait for 2 to 3 hours before going to the airport because of weather delays. The front desk would not allow them to hang out in the upstairs common areas because they checked out and wanted to charge them for an extra day just to hang out in the common areas. so they were stuck hanging out in the cold drafty lobby. what a way to treat a customer who gave you business - multiple rooms, multiple days. we will not be back.

I told my husband “Historic” means OLD, this hotel is definitely old but for the price, it’s a good deal. Room was kinda dark & had a smell but didn’t take long to adjust. TV is Roku only, no local channels available. Old tub with T-plumbing added for shower but there is the BEST water pressure we’ve ever had! Bed was creaky but comfortable, air conditioning (yes, in December we needed air conditioning) was cold air. The balcony was nice but as in pictures, there’s only a small chain separating from next room. Neighbors were smoking out there (even though there’s NO SMOKING) so we couldn’t enjoy balcony. Very happy there was no smoke smell coming in to our room! The lobby outside our room (2nd floor) was cute with seating & small tables, like for visitors to hang out! Front staff was very cold & unwelcoming! We were NEVER greeted coming in or out. We tried to make small talk but received no response. One late night “laundry” gentleman gave us extra toilet paper & tissue & he was the only friendly staff we saw. Parking was shady so we used the garage next door for $25/night (great price for area) Hotel is within walking distance to just about everything. Overall we were satisfied with our stay. We’d probably stay again if we couldn’t find another hotel around the same price.
