This is an older, historic building. The hotel is lovely, the staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are comfortable and immaculate. However, if you have a physical handicap you might think about choosing another hotel. We traveled with my mother, who is in a walker. To get from the lobby to the elevator, without having to go up any steps, you have to go out through the garage. The elevator does not go all the way down to the Riverwalk, so you have to either go down the stairs, or go out the front of the hotel, go around the block, cross the river and go down the elevator on the other side. There were also stairs to get to the restaurant. Then the buffet was outside on the patio, so to get to it, there was one short flight of stairs going up and another one coming down. while I would certainly recommend this hotel generally, I would not recommend it to anyone who is in a wheelchair, walker, or has other mobility issues.

We had a few great days at this hotel, the locations can't be beat lots of restaurants around and many places to stop and have a couple drinks. Very nice time, I would recommend it.
You just go out the back doors down a few steps and you are right on the Riverwalk

Stayed at Omni La Mansion for the San Antonio Marathon. Even though we paid more due to the race weekend prices, our experience was just as pleasant as our first visit. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. The room faced the street, but we were not disturbed by traffic sounds. The blackout curtains used are great for a wonderful night's rest! If you don't want to pay the valet prices, you can park across the street in the parking garage. Would recommend this hotel for a special occasion.

We stayed here last Christmas and frankly, I didn't enjoy it very much because our room, like many, had a balcony that ran the length of the wing. That meant people walking by and no privacy unless we closed the drapes....bye bye view, hello cave-dark "ambiance". This time we asked for a room with a private balcony. They do exist but there aren't many. We wound up on the pool side, not the river side. It was a much better stay: more private, a pleasant view, and not loud. Of course, the decor was still lots and lots of dark brown and the sheers were still darker than most sheers. Hope that will change soon. We dined again at Las Canarias and it was quite good, even better than last year. Try the romaine salad (actually a crosswise slice of the head of romaine) wrapped in prosciutto....tasty and creative. They also had Conundrum wine on their list, one of my favs. One thing that was the same as our last visit was the very very nice staff. Now I'm looking forward to our next visit.
