Although the hotel was in an ideal location on the Riverwalk, I discovered that booking a room on line does not always get you what you want. Our room was on the 2nd fl, down a partially opened hall way, passed a beautiful courtyard but our door faced an opposite wall and our room had no windows in it. We were very disappointed and was told by the front desk that unless we were willing to pay more, this is all they had to offer and that when booking on line, there were only certain rooms available. No free internet access or free continental breakfast. Bathroom had no air conditioning. The Holiday Inn Express I stayed at in Wichita Falls for half the price far surpassed this over priced yet charming hotel.
We went on a trip with the family to go to Seaworld for a couple of days. When I booked our reservation through the travel agency, I was told I would need to call the hotel to comfirm that we wanted 2 double beds since we had 4 people in our room. I called the hotel 2 weeks prior to our arrival. The lady in customer service assured me that there wouldn't be any problems with my request. Upon arrival we were told the hotel had been over booked, she said all they had was a king size bed available. I explained to her that I had confirmed that we wanted a river view room with 2 double beds and had been assured that there wouldn't be a problem. Since this wasn't possible, I said it really shouldn't be a problem because we have a 6 yr old and 3 yr. old. One child could sleep on the couch and the other in the king size bed with me and my husband. She then told me that there wasn't a couch in the room. I asked if they could bring a cot up to the room; she said they were completely out of cots too. At this point I was getting extremely frustrated because we had planned a relaxing week with our kids and it was going to be anything but relaxing due to our room situation. The lady at the front desk told me that when you book your room through the travel agency, basically you get what ever rooms are left over (basically the bottom of the barrel). Hotel manager was no help either. pd 300+ per night.
I guess I've just kind of had it with so-called "upscale" hotels. The higher the room price, the more you have to pay for everything else. The room was nice, but rather small compared to the Sheraton Suites we had stayed at in Houston the night before. Flat screen TV was nice - but I wasn't there to watch TV. If you're prepared to let them do everything for you, pay their prices for Valet parking and room service, and tip everybody lavishly, you'll probably love this place. When we politely refused valet parking and attempted to get our things out of the car, the bell staff whipped open the car and pulled our stuff out. They would not let us use a cart to get our own things up to the room; they insisted we leave the keys while we took our things up, and then moved the car, changing the seat arrangement in the process. Bed was comfortable, but the super-heavy duvet covers are way too much and I hardly slept because I was so hot. There was no window to open, and I felt I had to keep the drapes closed on the french doors, making me feel like I was in the dark all the time. Internet costs extra , mini-bar is crammed full, and no room to put your own drinks or anything in the fridge. Staff is so eager to "sell" their services that I felt pressured. I guess I just want it both ways - the nice linens and rooms of the upscale, with the more practical refrigerator and free wi-fi. There was one thing I loved about the hotel - we walked out the back door straight onto the Riverwalk.
The temperature at arrival time was about 53 degree and by evening it was about 44 degree; our room was about 58 degree. I instructed housekeeping to adjust the room thermator which wasn't working and never had anyone from houskeeping to followup. Needless to say, the ice-box room was way too cold for romancing. We had to shroten our stay and rented another room else where.
hotel was attractive, small rooms, pool was small but good for children. Food was over priced as was valet parking. Convenient to sites around San Antonio. Good location, right on the Riverwalk. People at the hotel were very helpful.
The Omni la Mansion is a nice hotel, but not as nice as I expected for the price. We had an interior room, very spacious, but I did not like that we had a door that opened on the balcony -- that didn't feel too safe. However, they are redoing several of their rooms so the next time that I am there I am hoping that I get one of the upgraded rooms. The Watermark Spa is incredible, I would highly recommend it! And the food was great in their dinning room. I attended a wedding there and was highly pleased with the property. The staff is incredible -- really nice. You can't be the location, so I would go ahead and stay there. Just ask for a new upgraded room!
