Former Embassy suites hotel. Staff seems generally hospitality inexperienced. Telephone preset buttons do not work. Had to call to fix room elements; therefore executive housekeeping checklist is nonexistent: shower curtain, toiletries, carpet, stains, dust. Had to prompt for Expedia VIP benefits, so by the time I asked, it was too late to upgrade the room. Water must be requested. But staff was friendly though!

We always stay at the Contessa when visiting San Antonio. It’s in a quieter, less touristy part of the Riverwalk but only a few minutes walk to be in the thick of things. The suites are spacious, the service is attentive, and the bar serves better margaritas than you’ll find at the Riverwalk restaurants.

Hotel Contessa made an excellent vacation for us. Every one of their employees greeted us with a smile and kindness. Great renovations! My only suggestion- extend your happy hour menu to the outside patio. It’s wonderful to sit there and people watch! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Hotel took my money from Expedia and still charged me full price when I checked in, they refused to return the over payment. I would not recommend this hotel or booking service. The booking agent did not get my money back or even try. They said they are only allowed to make one call to the hotel and they did not answer. If you read this review, please warn as many people as you can not to use this hotel or booking service.
