Unparalleled Character
If you are looking for something different from the cookie cutter chain hotel, The O’Brien Hotel is for you! My favorite part of the place is the amazing ambiance and character. Parking is very convenient and reasonable for downtown S.A. The hotel is so close to the Riverwalk (barely a block away) and very reasonably priced. The only issue we had was with the TV. There is no local TV stations or satellite service. It’s only streaming via Roku. We’re not a streaming family, so we struggled with how to watch anything but other folks might not have the same problem. I would definitely stay here again. Loved it!

2/10 Poor

Disappointed
Worse hotel I’ve ever stayed at . AC did not work and was told it is cold outside , obviously they knew it didn’t work because there was two floor fans in the room and to top it off one of them was broken. Toilet kept getting clogged and had to tell them twice . Also the room was so disgusting and was so dirty and with a moldy AC , pictures are attached below . Bedding had stains all over

Average older hotel. Two of the lamps in our room did not work. No daily maid service but that was ok with us.

Love
Older hotel but it’s very cute and clean. Loved my balcony room. Was inexpensive and close to the river walk. A Thai restaurant is next door so very convenient for dinner. The staff working the hotel are very nice friendly.

Don’t stay here
Don’t stay here. The pictures online have to be from long ago and misleading. This place is old, dirty, and grimy. The room smelled so strongly of mildew, the elevator was broken several times over several days, the ceiling fan in the room was broken and there was a stand fan to replace it, and everything had a layer of grime on it. Very simple cleanliness issues like just wiping things down. The hairdryer and light switch in the bathroom had someone else’s hair on it along with a layer of dust. The customer service experience was subpar except Jesse who was helpful and polite.
Visible water lines on the walls, probably contributing to the mildew smell.
Someone else’s hair and a layer of dirt

Don't Stay Unless You Have No Choice.
I just wouldn't stay again, there were seats outside the window where people could relax, but they weren't for our room, and just everything was a disaster.

Excessive charges
The hotel was nice, but the extra charges for late check out and parking were I feel excessive. We stayed on a Saturday night due to my husband running a marathon Sunday. We arrived around 4:30. We were told checkout was 11 and parking ends at the same time. Charge was $70 to stay until 2 and $12 to park until then. The hotel was not busy at all- I feel some discounts could have been given. We would not stay again
