“Wonderful experience at the Brackenridge House Bed & Breakfast”

Brackenridge House Bed and Breakfast

Jun 19, 2008

I wanted to take a moment to tell about our wonderful two night stay at the Brackenridge House Bed & Breakfast, which is located in the Downtown Historic District in San Antonio, Texas. We met our friends there. They were the ones who made the reservations for us. My husband and I had never been to a bed & breakfast before, so we were a bit apprehensive. We didn't know what to expect. It was a wonderful experience. I think we are spoiled for any future B&B visits...we will always expect to be treated as special as we were this week. We also appreciated the host & hostess, Bennie & Sue Blansett taking time out of their busy schedule to visit with us each morning. They suggested places for us to see, things to do, and special restaurants and eateries in the area to check out. The special touches they provided made our stay so special. To top it off, our breakfasts were exquisite. We all felt so pampered and well taken care of. We really appreciated our stay at the Brackenridge House and especially enjoyed taking the walking tour around the King William Historic District. The homes were fabulous. I am spreading the word to all of my friends to stay with Bennie & Sue...if they are ever in the San Antonio area. Our trip with friends was so much more personal than if we had stayed in a hotel. I'm ready to go back.

“Great Place to Stay in San Antonio”

Brackenridge House Bed and Breakfast

May 21, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

My husband and I spent five nights at this wonderful bed and breakfast in April of this year. We thought this would be a good time to visit San Antonio since it was the last few days of Fiesta.

When we arrived at the B&B, Bennie greeted us and gave us a wealth of information about restaurants, the riverwalk, Fiesta and the bed and breakfast itself.

We've stayed in numerous B&B's over the last 12 or so years, and we rate this one highly. Bennie and Sue, the owners, were very gracious hosts. Breakfasts were scrumptious and served at 9 a.m. (good for me since I'm not an early riser).

This B&B is located in the King William historic district and within walking distance of the riverwalk and most other sights in the area. During Fiesta, there was a parade that traveled right past the Brackenridge House, and we had front row seats.

Bennie and Sue live in a home next to the B&B, and their guests have access to a beautiful stone swimming pool in their backyard.

If you're looking for warm, friendly hosts, outstanding gourmet breakfasts and a good location to San Antonio sights, this is the perfect place to stay.

I stayed at the Brackenridge House in May for two nights, not nearly long enough. Charlie's room was a cozy haven in the city, with everything we needed and wanted and more. The hosts had beer. wine, sherry and chocolates for us. There was a gorgeous pool to use and we did. It was so refreshing to come back from sightseeing to be able to cool off in the pool. It was also nice to sit on the front porch in the swing or rocking chairs. The breakfasts were divine and very filling. The bed and breakfast is in good area for restaurants and proximity to the downtown core and the alamo. I had a great stay.

Bennie & Sue were absolutely the best ! They were there to greet us when we came in and everything was absolutely fantastic! The Bridal Suite was very private and we enjoyed the view of the pool from the back deck. The pool & hot tub were very relaxing after a long day of activities. Bennie & Sue really went out of their way to make our friends' birthday special and the breakfasts were wonderful. We looked forward to each morning to see what we would have that day for breakfast. A great variety. Location to riverwalk and restaurants was great. Nice walk through a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Bennie & Sue for such a delightful stay.

My husband and I had a grand time at Brackenridge House during the last few days of Fiesta. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was equipped with all the amenities you could want. Our mornings always began with an incredible breakfast experience, and great advice about how best to enjoy San Antonio.

Bennie and Sue went to great lengths to ensure a carefree stay; picking up a forgotten prescription, checking on rental car availability, printing boarding passes, and on our early morning departure providing a continental breakfast and calling a cab.

Exceeded our expectations!
