The Fairmount Hotel - San Antonio

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the weekend and it was just a perfect time. the Hotel was just so unique with each feature it has. From the paintings on the wall to the furniture , everything was just well done. the staff was so helpful as well. they let us borrow an umbrealla and were very fast to respond to our needs.

22 dollars. To park in their parking. Lot.??? Sucks., parking. Should. Be included. In room price

The hotel had rugs & thresholds that were duct taped down to the floor. If they would spend a couple hundred dollars on fixing these issues it would be a much nicer place to stay. I couldn't recommend anyone to stay here if I know their impression of the hotel is going to be ruined because of the rugs that are duct taped to the ground.

Not sure if all the rooms were like mine, but the carpet was dreadfully dirty, the bathroom wallpaper was peeling (someone tried to unsuccessfully use Scotch Tape to cure the problem). The bathroom ceiling vents were black with dirt, the ceiling paint was peeling. Definitely NOT a 4 star hotel. The location, however, was convenient. Short walk to the […] Alamo, Trolleys, Riverwalk, Hemisphere Park etc. Mehr

My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal time over the past weekend. Everything is older, but very well kept. I don't remember finding a nicer staff anywhere else. Walking distance to the riverwalk and essentially anything else you'd need. We will be back!

Weak Internet signal in room, tv remote didn't work, wallpaper peeling, obnoxious service, no breakfast in restaurant = mediocre. Should not be advertised as a 4-star hotel.

The rooms, though not large, are very clean and charmingly decorated and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Fairmont was very charming, but needs to be updated. The lobby looked nice, but the rooms lacked that upkeep. The staff lacked customer service luster....no one seemed to be happy to be there. Even the resident dog seemed down and out (although he has an excuse--he's 14!)

Nice place, interesting rooms - basically a suite for the price of a regular room - separate sitting room with a 2nd big flat screen, sofa, chair; also has great non-private balconies, and a great restaurant

Nice, charming, small hotel in historic downtown San Antonio. The hotel has a mascot dog - a giant yellow lab that lays on a bed in the lobby. If you are alergic be warned, but he seems super sweet and is a "rescue" dog (adopted from a shelter so he wouldn't be put down). The rooms are cozy (small) but well appointed with real furniture instead of […] mass produced crap. Bed is very comfortable. Very limited counter space in the bathroom. Although nicely appointed, the hotel is showing its age and could use a sprucing up. Mehr

Lovely hotel if you like historic properties. Staff was very nice and let us check in early. The rooms were beautifully decorated with comfortable beds but the carpet was very stained and the bathroom baseboards were dirty. The hotel restaurant was very expensive and they sat us at the bar because they said they had lots of reservations. By the time […] we finished eating there were still several tables unused so technically we could have been seated at a table. Mehr

Absolutely loved this hotel. Very charming and a great staff! Not to mention, Luke the dog is the best concierge ever!

Not up to the standards of the other Fairmont Hotels, but still nice. Old building that is renovated. Rooms are nice, but need some maintenance (our drape fell off the door). Free wifi is nice, and the front desk staff are pleasant. Surrounding location is great.

Ourstay at the Fairmount hotel was delightful. Our room was large and beautifully decorated. There was some maintainence that was to be addressed but the stafff was very acccomodating. We will be back!!

What a cool place! Lots of history, a great location, very affordable, and superb service from the hotel staff (although the bartender in the restaurant was a different story). Highly recommended!

Amazed by the persona of this hotel! The staff was friendly and more than accommodating. They were there for our every need! Luke the dog was sweet and definitely made us smile!!! The Fairmount is the only hotel that I will stay in for future trips to this great city!

My husband and I just returned from a weekend getaway at The Fairmount in San Antonio. We had the most wonderful experience - we drove up to the beautiful hotel and hoped it would be as wonderful on the inside as it was on the outside but it exceeded all of our expectations - the room was lovely, the service was exceptional and we also fell in love […] with the hotel's story as well as it's canine-atarian (yes, we made up this word) efforts - especially with their director of pet relations, Luke. We will be back for sure - I can't think of any other hotel I'd rather stay at than there - it is very close to all the right tourist favorites downtown, but just far away enough to relax and have a peaceful stay.

Everything overall was fine. Our only complaint was the condition of our particular room. Not sure about the other rooms, but ours needed some work. Carpet was filthy and toilet seat was chipped and extremely loose. Everything else about the hotel was great and staff was very friendly and accomodating. Would stay there again if we had a different r […] oom. Mehr

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and quite possibly will never stay anywhere else when we visit San Antonio. The staff was very helpful and extremely friendly. The rooms are small but quaint and homey. The location of the hotel is within distance of the River Walk and convient to I35.

We enjoyed our stay and the room was fine with the exception of the carpet. It was old and stained. We just expected more at that price. Thanks.

Love the dog

My husband and I look forward to the Fairmount every single visit we make to San Antonio. The staff is awesome, there's cozy places to hang out with our friends, I love to play their baby grand piano, and we spend lots of quality time scratching Luke the Dog's ears!! What a little sweetheart!! Absolutely love the valet service each time we come in or […] out and nothing beats the cozy, clean rooms. They're all different with a personality and style that we love!! I have recommended the Fairmount to all my family and friends and have yet to hear a complaint!!;D Mehr

our very first stay in a hotel that is rated 4 stars. to everyone at the fairmont hotel ( employees), it was a great pleasure to be taken care of in all of our time there. we will be back. we appreciate all that you did for us. especially for the little joe tickets that really made us feel right at home. thank you again. you are every 4 stars and m […] ore. Mehr

This Hotel was so convenient and affordable. Riverwalk and all the amenities were in walking distance couldn't have picked a more perfect location. Quiet laidback setting and a pleasure to meet Luke Tip. Very happy guest!

Nice facility room was big staff was friendly, the room was not completely clean when we arrived. The hotel staff front desk did bring us the material to make the bed. Location was great 2 blocks from river walk and 4 blocks from the Alamo. I would stay there again when I visit,

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were happy to see our hotel. Its location was wonderful. We had our car parked and did not have to move it once. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted and needed to go. The riverwalk, the mall, the Alamo, Catholic churches, the Tower of the Americas, and wonderful shopping opportunities were all right there.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Fairmount. Had a girl's shopping trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel was wonderful and full of charm. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable and room had the best air conditioning I have ever had in a hotel stay. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.

This hotel is everything you'd come to expect from Fairmont Hotels. Elegant, clean and quiet. This hotel is refreshing compared with other large, manufactured hotels. The staff is personable and courteous, and the owners have adopted a dog - Luke, I believe. Even without knowing that this dog was a rescue dog, it was clear from the atmosphere that […] the owners and staff are truly compassionate people. Unless you are extremely picky about staying at a hotel with completely new-looking furniture and decor, this is the place for you. Mehr

bad service. not clean

I was concerned with the negative reviews. After driving 18 hours from Florida to San Antonio via New Orleans, I was hoping the reviews were wrong, and they were.The Fairmount Hotel is charming, classy, located perfectly and staffed by some of the nicest and accomodating people I have ever met in a hotel. Our very reasonably priced room was elegantly […] decorated. The carpet was clean, with no stains. The bedding was clean and confortable. The bathroom was clean and the plumbing worked perfectly. Maybe the hotel was responsive to the negative comments. The only negative thing I can think of is that the mandatory valet parking was $21/day, but that won't stop me from staying here again. I wish we could have stayed longer. Mehr

Oldfashioned hotel - spacious but dark room - limited modern facilities - Not close to riverside walk - breakfast not included - expensive parking

The Fairmont is one block from the Riverwalk so the location is perfect. For the quality of the hotel, the rates are very good. I love the way the rooms are decorated as well as the hallways. It is similar to a bed and breakfast type place except you have a lot more privacy at the Fairmont. Luke made the visit! He is such a friendly dog and it was neat […] to see him every time I entered and left the hotel. Mehr

It was a nice size Room, Very Close to the Riverwalk, Bathroom was nice, Then only thing wrong was it had a really bad smell, The carpet was not clean. We took some spray we had with us & spray the room, It took a few time but it got better,The beds was nice, The staff was real nice & Helpfull. But the best thing was meeting Luke

First, I read the negative reviews. If you want a brand new,sterile hotel this is not for you. If you love staying in historic properties with some personality to them the Fairmount is still a shining jewel of the South. Yes, the carpets and structures are a bit worn...it was built in 1906.What do you expect? The location is great, directly across the […] street from the Convention Center, next door to LaVillita, and a very short walk to the Riverwalk (which has been greatly improved recently). The staff was friendly and helpful. The beds very comfortable. Plenty of hot water (if any complaint too hot!).RECOMMENDED ! Mehr

It has no minibar or other amenities in the rooms. Yes, it's flashy but old and dirty. They only have one maid for the entire hotel. Toilets are not good quality and clog easily. No room temperature control, my room was freezing. None of my toiletries, or coffee was replaced. Bathtub was a mess. Would not recommend it.

I had a very lovely experience at this hotel. My room was clean, I was able to use the wireless internet without issue, and I was even able to walk out onto the verandah and get some nice, night air. You could feel the history; how often does one stay in a hotel where you use an actual key to get into the room? The only downside was that I had to walk […] about a mile to get to my conference, but that is the price I chose to pay for a lower hotel rate. The staff was friendly and courteous, and it is dog-friendly. Even the dog of the hotel has a business card! I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Mehr

the fairmount is lovely... the quaintness, t he intimacy, the little balcony off the sitting room in our bedroom over looking the courtyard is reminiscent of the french quarter in new orleans...one can always stay at hilton or marriott, etc..but one cannot find such a lovely period piece such as the fairmount

Loved this Hotel!!! Convenient to everything, great service, and awesome room.

The house keeping was not very responsive nor detailed. I stayed for two days and neither of the days was i satified with the cleanliness.

This hotel is rated at 4 stars, I would recommend that it be knocked down to a 3 star. The hotel needs major renovations. The rooms have peeling wallpaper, dirty looking carpet, old looking and feeling. Also, my toilet didn't work. That is an important feature. The hotel is in a good location and could be nice, but they need to renovate and until that […] happens, I would recommend that it be reduced from a 4 star. The attached restaurant was very good. Mehr

This is a quaint small, historic hotel that treats you more like family than a paying customer. The staff is very friendly and attentive and go over and above to make sure that you have a very pleasant stay. It is also in a great location - very close to (basically on) the riverwalk, across the street fromHemisphere Park and a short distance from the […] Alamo and RiverCenter Mall. Mehr
