Bonner Garden Bed & Breakfast

Handsome house Tidy room excellent breakfast chatty, engaging host

If you are looking for a nice place to stay in San Antonio, this is the place! It's in a nice, quiet area, very clean, and the owners are wonderful people. My husband and I have now been there twice and love it.

The Bonner Garden B&B is located in the safe and beautiful Monte Vista neighborhood near Trinity University, 15 minutes drive from the airport, and less from downtown. There are coffee shops and restaurants in the area, and we could walk to the northern part of the River Walk in 25 minutes (it's another 20 minutes walk to downtown). The Bonner Garden hosts were friendly and were very happy to accommodate our vegetarian diet. Our room was sunny, clean, and comfortable. A very classy place--I'd stay there again.

We had a fabulous experience with Bonner Gardens and can't wait to return. Our room was lovely and comfortable. It was beautifully furnished, clean, and quite large. The innkeepers were warm and welcoming and are obviously focused on providing a great stay experience. And we thoroughly enjoyed meeting the other guests at the breakfast table. As an added bonus, they have some lovely art work done by the home's previous owner -- who was an artist -- as well as by other local artists.

The atmosphere is wonderful. The hostess is charming. The rooms are delightful. The breakfast was superb. We were centrally located and could visit many places. She also recommended a wonderful Italian restaurant.

My husband and I visited San Antonio for our anniversary. Our stay at the Bonner Garden was LOVELY. Our hosts were very kind, friendly, and hospitable. They made us feel welcome, and every aspect of our stay was enjoyable. We stayed in the smallest room, and it was, as advertised, small. Which is exactly what we were expecting. It was clean, comfortable, and charming. Breakfast was fantastic both mornings we were there. We will absolutely be back!

My wife and I enjoyed a weekend in San Antonio and really had a relaxing time at Bonner Garden BB. The Breakfast was delicious, the rooms were nice and clean and we had all kinds of help finding things to do in San Antonio.

We were so delighted with our stay at Bonner Garden. Innkeepers Margi and Jim were so hospitable and just a joy to visit with. We loved our room; it was decorated nicely and very spacious. The pool was just icing on the cake as I think we had record breaking temperatures to deal with. Highly recommend this inn. It was conveniently located to all the popular attractions.

Great location, house is beautiful, rooms are very nice. Can't wait to go back.

This was our first time to stay at a B&B and I don't know if we'll find other B&B's that compare. We stayed in the Garden room which was very clean, spacious, and charming. The video library is extensive, the food all baked from scratch, and the hosts, Margi & Jim were so kind and welcoming, but sure to give you your privacy as well. I really can't say enough about this place. There's a roof with a porch swing to view the city/streets, parlors, fresh baked cookies at night, with a well-stocked mini-fridge, and a delightful full breakfast served to you whenever you make your way downstairs to the dining room (between 8-10am). While we were staying at someone's house, it felt like a cozy hotel and we were spoiled. The entire house is decorated to accent the age of the house (100 years old) but with updated ammenties. And while the house is old, our room was incredibly clean - even the blinds didn't have any dust on them. And a fresh rose was placed in a room - just a charming, delightful, grand house. We Loved staying here!

The accommodations were very comfortable and Margi and Jim were wonderful hosts. The common areas were spacious and comfortable. Given it was the middle of July and very hot, the pool was very enjoyable. The B&B is located in the Monte Vista section of the city, a beautiful and well established neighborhood, nice for an early morning or evening walk, and very convenient to the downtown area. We were visiting San Antonio while helping our daughter move to the city. Margi was very helpful with hints about the city and places to shop in order to set up a household. We look forward to staying at Bonner Garden during our future visits to the city.

Pros: Great Value, beautiful house and grounds, delicious breakfast, good location with respect to San Antonio/ surrounding area sights and activities, kind and gracious hosts.

We stayed in the Portico room and really enjoyed the private entrance and access to the pool. The room was very lean and the bed super comfortable. There were plenty of drinks available and the inn keepers were great.

Beautiful B&B. A welcome beverage, bedtime cookies, and a fabulous breakfast. All in a quaint neighborhood. Margi and Jim are great hosts and great folks. This was our second stay at Bonner Gardens and definitely looking forward to the third.

I've stayed at Bonner Garden 3 times and I'll be back for 3 more at least. Bonner Garden Bed & Breakfast is beautiful, clean, comfortable and the hosts are wonderful. Margi and Jim go out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. I travel for work and Bonner Garden is far and away the best place I stay.

I just spent two nights here and it was wonderful. Not only was the historic home beautiful but the host and hostess were also. The breakfast each morning was not only made from scratch but very nutritious. The pool was clean and very relaxing on a hot summer day. I would definitely return and also suggest this as a great place to stay. Melbourne Beach, Florida

Margi was so considerate. Because of children in the house she put us in the "Bridal Suite" so neither of us would be bothered. Ohhhh those fresh cookies and cold beer was a great welcome. The places she suggested to eat at and see was phenominal. It made our "hot, hot" trip through Texas memorable. You can't find any place better. From Peterborough, Canada Raeburn and Sharon

Margi & Jim run a first class B&B with something a lot of other B&Bs don't have - a pool!

My wife and I stayed here in the "Studio" on our honeymoon. The Herbold's are just the greatest people. Both of them took time to talk to us and make certain that everything was up to par. There is a pretty good selection of DVD's and VHS tapes to watch, and cable TV, but don't forget to go out on the roof after sunset and view the surroundings. Also, take some time to look at the art on the wall - this is like a mini-museum. If you are looking for a high quality B&B and a very reasonable price, then this is for you. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. We are already planning to take our first anniversary stay there.

Wonderful accommodations, great breakfasts, super pool. It's a repeat!

We have stayed at Bonner Gardens numerous times over the past 15 years and have always has a wonderful stay. Margi and Jim are wonderful innkeepers. The breakfasts are wonderful and they are delightful hosts.

I have stayed at Bonner Garden five or six times in the past year, and it has been a pleasant experience each time. The inn is located in the lovely historic district . The inn is well-kept, very clean, and has a warm, comfortable feel. Margi and Jim, the innkeepers make you feel right a home. The rooms are filled with antique furniture and lovingly decorated by the innkeeper with beautiful drapery and bedding fabrics. The morning breakfast is thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients, served in the dining room, and is always delicious.

For the last two years, whenever I travel to San Antonio for business (which is frequent), I stay at Bonner Garden. It is a beautiful, unique and interesting home, and such a nice departure from the cookie-cutter hotel room that is the staple of business travel. With high speed wireless, you have everything you need to be productive AND relax. There is a beautiful view from the rooftop patio, and the front porch is a lovely place to just hang out and read. I think I've stayed in all the rooms now and they are all wonderful, each with their own unique charm. The location is also great; easy access to just about anywhere in the city. It's a beautiful neighborhood, too -- I would recommend a walk in the evening to see all the stately old homes. Jim and Margi are friends to me now, and there's something special about feeling like you're staying with friends that makes a business trip really nice. Their hospitality is fantastic, and Margi is an outstanding cook. I love her breakfasts! But she is also very kind to accommodate me when I am (ahem) dieting! I look forward to these business trips now because of Bonner Garden, and I also enjoy bringing my family to stay here for leisure. You will love it too!!

We've stayed at Bonner Gardens twice, once with teenagers and once with a group of adults. Both times everyone with us had a fabulous time. The pool is amazing, the hosts are gracious and the home is beautiful. M. Frost Austin, TX
