    We have spent many wonderful nights at the Beckmann going back to early 2005. It has become our regular stay of choice when in San Antonio! First Charles and now Lisa have always made us feel at home, the Breakfasts are always wonderful and we love the Victorian ambience and the location with access to the River Walk without the noise and traffic of being down town.


    Very nice place

    Location was great! Farther down into the King William neighborhood but was very quiet and very accessible to the streetcar. Stayed in the carriage house which was lovely and breakfast was just right! I will definitely be returning!
