It’s an older hotel, with the type of problems associated with older hotels. The staff were nice and the hotel clean. Fixtures were dated, but they worked.

The location is perfect. Half a block from the Riverwalk and close to everything. We always stay here. We park our car and walk the whole weekend. The car moves again when we head back home. We will always stay here.

I understand it's a historic hotel but looked too run down. The employees aren't too friendly or informative. Their service is pretty low. The only thing i liked is that it's close to many attractions.

Fun place to stay close to the Riverwalk
The hotel is historic which is a fun experience. If you are looking for something that is up to date and modern, this historic hotel is probably not for you. If you are looking for something with character, great customer service, and awesome value, extremely close to the Riverwalk, you'll really enjoy your stay here! Front desk staff were accommodating and helpful, timely with any requests, I never had to ask twice for anything (and I always end up needing something extra in a hotel stay). Parking was convenient but I did have trouble using the parking permit from the hotel, it took me several tries but it was able to work out. I felt safe the whole time also.

I’m from houston and I had booked a night with O’Biien Historic Hotel. 45 minutes away they call me to tell me the room I had booked had a problem and that they would refund me my money back. So I did have nowhere to stay and I had to drive back to Houston. I have never had this happen to me. I wouldn’t never want someone to have to go through this. 👎👎👎👎👎

The evening staff was friendly and helpful. I was excited to stay in one of the historic hotels, but there was quite a bit of deferred maintenance that the hotel needs to attend to. The beds are not very comfortable and we were put in a downgraded room from what we booked and paid for

Great stay for a get away
Ian was very friendly and helpful. Great big smiles that was needed after a long day of traveling. The hotel was very cute. I really liked how they had the bar tables in the middle of the rooms. Great if you have a family event. The room was quaint and we had a balcony. Very nice to sit on the balcony in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. The hotel is right off the river walk. Nice location. We were able to walk everywhere including to the Alamodome.
