Review:
What a beautiful, all suites hotel. It's light and bright, reflecting the beautiful San Antonio climate. Located at the southern end of the Riverwalk, you have easy access to various parts of downtown San Antonio and its wonderful attractions, activities, food and shopping.

Though there were no CFLs in my room, there at least three-way bulbs, which helps reduce energy consumption. Now, to get housekeeping to not turn all the lights on after cleaning rooms!

Another bonus in their environmental awareness was their unlined waste baskets, which were durable and washable.

Wonderful palm trees grace the lounge/living room, adding to the sense of fresh air and health.
