Parking isn’t included, paid 33 dollar for 12 hour parking next to hotel. Which was unfortunate but not the hotels fault. Breakfast was really good, workers friendly. Rooms clean just smaller than expected. But great walking distance from the Alamo which is the main reason we traveled to San Antonio.

I had enjoyed my stay here until I was charged twice for the room I had stayed in days after I checked out. It’s been almost 3 weeks and still haven’t received a refund. The room was great and way bigger than I anticipated. I was really happy with the trip until I had this issue. It’s a great place to stay just make sure you have extra money in your account if you get scammed like me haha.

San Antonio is an experience all its own. Hotel Gibbs added to that experiencing because of its proximity to everything in the city. We valeted our car for two days and didn’t call it back until we were ready to leave the city. Everything is within walking distance and so beautiful!

Property was missing the final touches like missing baseboard trim pieces in a bathroom, and the lobby looked sad and shabby. It just needs a refresh. The GM was really nice and informed us about a weather storm coming in as to protect our car we bought. Overall it was just “Ok”.

Overall, this is a historic hotel. Original flooring dating back from the early 1900s and older designee rooms give the rooms a unique character. Hotel is clean and an excellent location to the Alamo, shopping centres, restaursnts and the Riverwalk. Beware that parking is pricey here. $45 for valet or $40 for public parking with limited in and out privliges.

30/45mins into my stay, my truck got broken into and vandalized. After the cops had taken the report, I asked the lobby if there was a safe place to put my truck for the night. Staff stated they had a lot where they placed valet cars but that it wasn’t that much safer. I asked if I could cancel and check out. They stated they would still charge me the whole night and I would have to speak to Expedia in order to get my refund back. The day shift staff was very helpful with what happen in allowing my truck to be parked in front of the hotel until my window was fixed.
