    My husband and I could only stay one night, and we saw many options for B&B's to choose from in San Antonio. After calling a few, and getting horrible customer service, I made a quick call to Ayres Inn. How happy I was I called!! The room we stayed in was decorated beautifully, and I swear I never slept so good in a bed (outside my own) before. The breakfast wasn't at a rigid time, but was available 24/7, which meant we could sleep in for as long as we wanted!! (You don't see that very often, and I was grateful I didn't need to get up at the crack of dawn in order to eat breakfast. Overall, I was impressed with the quality service I received for such a last minute booking, and the beautiful rooms. Definitely a must-stay and a repeater for future visits!!


    Thank you for a lovely stay. We'll be back!

    What a lovely old home with a very nice, comfortable feel. Our room was spacious and very clean and the beds were sumptuous. Breakfast was excellent and the other couples we met were quite interesting. Only negative would be the large pool of water in the parking area - who would think San Antonio would have a deluge?


    Great place to stay in San Antonio!

    This is a lovely old house to stay in, with all of the latest amenities. Nice location close enough to downtown, wonderful baked goods for breakfast, off-street parking, and superb hosts who are friendly and accomodating. I'd highly recommend it.
