Just a sweet stay, Chris at the front desk was amazing. Room was clean and comfortable. Guest services was responsive. Pool and hot tub were an added bonus at the end of a long day. Great stay even with children. In walking distance to Dave and Busters as well as Lego land. I’d highly recommend.

The Hotel Contessa and staff exceeded my expectations. We received texts asking if we were enjoying our stay and asking if there was anything the staff could do for us. This was a first for me. The food was excellent, the bartenders and servers were very friendly. The Riverwalk, Alamodome and La Villita were withing walking distance. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Lots of smokers at the pool. Didn't appreciate the bachelorette party with a blow up doll in the pool at 10am in front of my 7yo daughter either. I had to ask 4 times for more pool towels. Seems like that would be an important thing to have on hand on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. The tub in our room didn't hold water and the suite smelled like bourbon. Wish this property was more family friendly.
