"We had a wonderful experience for four nights."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Our four night stay in San Antonio was great. The O Brian's location for the River Walk was perfect. We parked our car in the parking garage next door and never drove it again until we left. We walked to all activities which were just a few blocks away. There was a lovely relaxing area with tables and chairs which made for a great place to play cards and kick back.
