I agree with the previous review. However, the room was smaller than other hotels nearby. Although it is on located near the Riverwalk, it is located at the far end of the Riverwalk. The room had a nice whirlpool bath, free wireless internet, and a VERY small breakfast. The minuses are no fridge, small room, limited parking for an additional... more

After hearing a lot of great reviews my fiance and I were very excited about staying at this hotel, especially since we were getting a discount from my organization. We are young travelers, and not very picky, but this hotel was just an extreme disappointment. The parking was a bit of a hassle, but we were able to get lucky... more

When one mentions the Clarion - O'Brien with 69 rooms, they may envision a small hotel that is either well patrolled or quaint. This hotel is adequate in both regards. My personal experience was influenced by being placed on the ground floor, just around the corner from the front desk. The room was newly renovated and had a whirlpool bath.... more

We've stayed at the OBrien Hotel a number of times in the past, but she's getting a bit "shabby." At least the carpet in our room was clean this visit ! There were some other cleanliness issues, however; mold around the bathtub & shower surround joints (a little bleach would get rid of this), and mildewing curtain sheers in the... more

Would not return to this hotel. Parking-alarms-locks don't work on windows. Didn't feel safe at all; around the hotel or on the walk to atractions. They are close, but not feel safe. Hotel has 39 rooms and only 12 parking spots for the cost of $10.00. Stayed on the 3rd floor and the windows loose and don't lock. Room across... more

I am sorry that you left unsafe with our hotel and with the river walk attractions. I had our maintenance man check all window locks to ensure that they are all functional. I must apologize for our parking situation. Although we have limited parking (as does the rest of the City) there are several public parking lots adjacent to our...

This hotel had a great location, it was a block from the riverwalk and less than that from La Villita. It had a nice continental breakfast, but it is served right in the hotel lobby, so there is limited space and it can get pretty congested. Our room was on the road side, and traffic had been detoured down that... more

The O'Brien is a small boutique style hotel. My husband and I stayed here while in San Antonio for the annual Christmas Riverboat Parade. It is in downtown, but a bit secluded, still near all the main downtown attractions. Nothing fancy about the hotel, but it's a nice place with it's own unique charms (old style bathtub, windows that raise... more

We just returned from a trade show in san Antonio. We hardly ever stay in the big convention hotels but look for a small "boutique" nearby. Last year we stayed at the Riverwalk Vista which was also excellent but could not get in for under $200 this year so we took a chance on the O'Brien. The cab driver was... more

I recently stayed at the O'brien while attending the Women of Faith conference, held at the Alamodome. The room was comfortable, once we figured out the ceiling fan, and room fan. Continental breakfast was sufficient. Alamodome was a short walk away, cutting through Hemisphere Park, which allowed us to leave the car parked the whole weekend. Riverwalk was 2 short... more
