    This was a great choice by accident. We just logged on and found it available for two nights and those were two great evenings in San Antonio, our new favorite city. The hosts were excellent, the room was excellent and the food was great. I highly recommend.

    We stayed here for my wife's birthday and had a wonderful time. Convenient to downtown and area restaurants. Located near trolly line in a beautiful section of S.A. known as the King Williams Area. Nice pool in the garden. Wonderful breakfast served on the balcony porch since it was a cool morning. We stayed in the Cardinal Room and we found it very charming with its nicely furnished mini-frig. Our only regret was we didn't have a day or two more to spend in this nicely maintained historic home.

    Wonderful place to stay!

    I stayed here during several weeks of job training and Lily was a great innkeeper. Even though I had to get up early to get to class by 8 am, she would leave breakfast for me the night before. She even let me know when I left my shoes behind. I stayed in several of the rooms and they were all very clean and comfortable. I especially loved the prelaxing pool and whirlpool. I definitely recommend this inn, especially for longer stays.

    My stay at Brackenridge House was wonderful. We were greeted by the owner Lilly and was given a tour of the house and garden, as well as information on restaurants and sites near by. The room was lovely, with period furniture that was outstanding. Our room had a kitchen with a small fridge nicely stocked with water, wine and soda. The bathroom had all the amenities you could dream of from shampoo to shaving cream. The breakfast was outstanding and served in their lovely dinning room. The location of the B&B was about 2 blocks to the River Walk and another 15 minute walk to the downtown portion of the River Walk. One night we had dinner two blocks from the B&B at Rosario's and the other night we walked to downtown. This weekend was lovely and I can't wait to return.

    We had such a wonderful stay for our 20th anniversary! The B&B owners gave us maps of bike trails and we saw San Antonio in a whole new way. The riverwalk is just a block away so we had access to lots of entertainment and great food. The house is lovely and the owners go out of their way to make it extra welcoming and comfy. We can't wait to get back!
