Hotel 1914 - Historic Alamo Riverwalk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Hotel 1914 - Historic Alamo Riverwalk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location, friendly staff, restaurant attached was delicious. Everything said they had basic toiletries in case if you forgot something, specifically shaving cream. When asked for it, they didn’t have it. That was literally the only thing negative, which quite honestly doesn’t even matter. You will enjoy your stay."
