    The Gunter Hotel was a good place to stay. Would I stay there again? Maybe

    We didn't like the size of the room which was somewhat small and the bathroom in our room felt cramped. I would say the room was maybe 12x12 at most.

    I liked the location of the hotel. The hotel was very clean and presentable. I liked the history of the hotel. The bed was comfortable as well.

    The bed felt hard as a concrete slab making it difficult to rest The lounge always seemed depleted of bottled water and any sugar free drinks.

    The historical beauty of the hotel The chandeliers were mesmerizing! Room service meals were tasty and much appreciated after a day of sightseeing the river walk and Alamo located nearby.

    Okay, but could be way better especially for the price

    could keep it up better. wallpaper was peeling, paint was chipping, wood work was damaged. TV didn't work in first room. Both rooms one of the phone charging ports were broken. Also, for such a historic hotel with a great history they could display more historical photo's, pictures etc. The rooms had cheesy meaningless pictures hanging, not impressive.

    location, walkable and uber anywhere. Room/bathroom was clean and comfortable.

    Amazing historical hotel in San Antonio
    • Leisure trip

    • Queen Room

    We booked two rooms and were given rooms on the 8th floor. The Double Room with 2 beds was quite spacious - and perfect for 3 people. The Queen Room for two was quite small, with not a lot of space to move around - especially as my son and his partner had a service dog with them.

    Location, and the hotel's amazing history!

    The only complaint is the street noise was very loud. Even on the 5th floor. Voices, horse buggies, car noise, sirens, you name it. So pack your ear plugs. Noise leveled off about 2 a.m.

    Location was terrific, saw a show at Majestic literally right across the street. And so many places to eat, drink, or shop all within walking distance. Wonderful historical spot.

    Valet Parking was full - parked across at the Plaza Parking (would have been nice to have signage directing us). Prices were reasonable given it was a holiday.

    Beautiful historical building, near the Riverwalk

    The AC machine was set to mode 'Auto', but the AC fan was noisy and frequently switching on, This was a disturbance I think this will be same for other rooms as well. The reason might be the machine is close to the bed and old?

    The location was great and we enjoyed the convenience.

    I love the character and style of older hotels, and The Gunter did NOT disappoint. The lobby was beautiful, and I appreciated the older doors and the marble thresholds that appeared to be original. Our room was spacious, the high ceilings were fantastic, and onsite parking was worth it. Our favorite thing was the location -- we were able to park our SUV and walk everywhere we needed to go, and the proximity to La Panaderia was great.

    There was an odd smell in the hallways (maybe mildew?) when we checked in.

    My friend couldn't park her own car so had to park across the street. The pool/spa was not in service so we would have had to go to a nearby hotel to enjoy. We didn't because of the inconvenience. Our floor's ice maker didn't work so I had to go down a floor every time we needed ice.

    Beautiful lobby, architecture throughout hotel, clean. Nice staff. Very nice room.
