O'Brien was a cozy and affordable stay. It's historic feel is definitely preserved there. Staff was kind. Very convenient walk from the riverwalk and Alamo. Though there's no pool or other special amenities I would definitely recommend if you're planning on being out most of the day/night anyway.

Location was great, close to the riverwalk and easy access to get around. Love staying at older historic hotels. Receptionist that checked us in was awesome and very nice to talk to. Room maintenance and housekeeping was lacking. Found trash left under the side of the bed and the bathroom repairs (or lack of) on the ceiling were subpar even for an older hotel.

Such a beautiful and cozy hotel. Totally got the historic vibe from our stay, the 3rd floor common area was gorgeous! Great location within 5 mins walking distance to all the fun activities near the Riverwalk. Amazing food options all so nearby. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Only downside is that free parking is not included with reservation and costs about $23/day but other than that a great stay!

The stay was overall good. I’d say the parking was terrible. We parked across the street for less. I would think parking would be discounted. The common areas were very hot. We couldn’t enjoy the common area for sure. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. I wish the rooms had better lighting.

I liked the historic feel. Your website showed the balcony over looking the Riverwalk. Very deceptive. That was the main reason we booked with you. Are balcony over looked a parking lot. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom causing the whole room to feel humid and sticky. The AC worked great. Robert was great.

We reserved rooms months ahead and requested them to be next to one another since we're traveling with a person with special needs. The request was not honored, instead we were on different floors entirely. Rooms were nice and clean. Area was good, only 2-minute walk to the Riverwalk.

The hotel is a historic place, so don't expect a high-class hotel. The hotel was amazing, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was walking distance to the River Walk. The hotel was clean, quiet, and best of all, the staff were great! I will definitely go back.
