With its location and value for money, La Contessa Hotel is a no. Rainer when choosing a hotel in San Antonio. I wish we stayed more days because we really loved the hotel’s decor, room large layout and restful bed.

My room attendant found out it was my birthday and sent a delightful cheese plate and champagne. Everyone was helpful. Her name was Luz. The property is lovely and rooms are large, location is great. Rooftop bar great. Only problem was rooms were cold and heater was off since it was summer.

We stayed one week for a family member’s AirForce BMT ceremony. The Contessa was immaculate! So clean and very nice! Our suite had a living room that was just perfect for us to comfortably watch several movies! I cannot recommend this place enough! It is right on the Riverwalk, such a gorgeous area with so much to do!

"Francisco at the Ambler is AMAZING!!!"

Francisco at the Ambler was hands down one of the best waiters I’ve had in a very long time. He recommended his favorites at my girlfriend’s request and she loved her meal. He was very attentive and personable. We had the best dining experience of our trip here because of him.
