Stay At Your Own Risk
Very beautiful and modern hotel. However, didn't get much sleep; unfortunately our neighbor had a very loud dog that barked all night. After checkout, valet brought the truck and upon inspection, they had hit the right side mirror and had no intention to report it

The stay was pretty good. Service was excellent. Rooms were very clean. Common areas were great. Drawbacks of the trip were: very limited breakfast options at the hotel, lots of construction surrounding the hotel.

I recommend the Kimpton Santo
This is a great hotel we loved it! Nice pool area on the roof and a bar with great ambiance. The rooms are pretty and clean and the location is good. I have nothing bad to say about it.

We visited for New Year Eve and had an amazing experience. From the Bellman providing door to door service to the Party on Tenfold, we had such a fun filled NY. I will definitely be visiting again.

Wonderful Boutique Hotel!
I’m so glad we stayed at this hotel! I live in San Antonio, and booked this hotel as it’s new to the area and based on the hotel’s website info. Everyone we met at the hotel was polite and professional. Johnathan helped us at check-in, and he went the extra mile to make a new batch of apple cider after we returned for the evening. The hotel is walking distance to La Vallita Historic District (steps away) and a comfortable distance to the Majestic and other downtown attractions. Our room had two queen beds - very comfortable beds and pillows. Bathroom high end. I was visiting with my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter plans on returning to stay with her husband. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
