Superb. My family…read moreand I recently had occasion to spend a few days in the marvelous city of San Antonio. We discovered the King William Manor's "Stonehouse" on VRBO and made a decision to stay there for our entire vacation. First off, Allison, with whom we dealt primarily, was very helpful. Not only did she help us with the rental by ensuring everything was ready upon our arrival, but she was incredibly useful by providing us lots of good tips on how to get around and where to eat. The Stonehouse, itself, was just what we were looking for: a chic, stylish home away from home that was also highly functional, clean, ideally located, and not overly pricey. Add the adjacent pool and it was a no-brainer to stay here. Allison and Craig have obviously put a lot of time and effort into renovating this home. Although it looks very unassuming from the outside, it boasts a lot of nice touches inside such as new paint and tile, new granite countertops, a nice HD flatscreen TV, huge master bath, new washer and dryer, and some pretty posh furniture options. It was perfect for me and my wife, along with our daughter and my 74 y/o father. Everything works and the house is/was immaculate. WIFI is fast and reliable. A nearby HEB grocery store is only .5 miles away if you need groceries. Numerous trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants line S. Alamo street upon which this house is situated. Two nearby VIVA bus stops make getting around SUPER easy and cheap. The southern end of the famed River Walk is a five minute walk away. Street traffic is minimal and generally quiet. We all slept well during our stay, especially since the provided beds and linens are so comfortable and soft. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem. It is perfect for a small family or two couples wanting to visit San Antonio. Centrally located to River Walk, Tower if the America's, and numerous dining options (I strongly recommend Rosario's, just up the street), Stone House is a perfect San Antonio vacation rental property.

We stayed two nights in a room at the rear of the house that was quiet. We enjoyed the gardens and wish we'd brought swimsuits for the pool. We will be staying here again and highly recommend it.

This was my spouse first time visiting San Antonio and he agreed to stay at a local B and B. I…read moreshould have read the reviews more closely as many were from previous owner prior to 2011. The house itself is beautiful but outdated with the wrong furniture. We loved the breakfast that was served each morning but would have appreciated an indoor dining room or at least options for salt, pepper and butter offered along with additional silverware in the room. We really wanted to like this place however, there are many things that need to be updated. The big thing was light that filtered through all the blinds which made it difficult to sleep as the outside porch light had to kept on. The bed in the hummingbird room was way too firm and I didn't sleep well for three nights. The owner Lily was kind enough to cool the room down and provided another fan. The bathtub/shower was too high for me to enter or exit and need my spouse to help - steps are needed. We did like the refrigerator and microwave being available. The hot tub was nice but apparently being deaf we didn't fully hear her state how to remove the cover. I would make updated changes and re-open the B and B. Quiet neighborhood and about 20-25 minute walk to riverwalk. Uber is helpful to use. Lots of restaurants nearby.

Seeing all these horrendous reviews makes me wonder if we just got luckier than some other people -…read morethough we did have a few unresolved issues. Our room was fine, clean and other than the fact the TV didn't work (wasn't there to watch it anyway) but mentioned it and it was working later in the day. The jacuzzi tub did not work at all, but again not the end of the world (unless we really wanted to have a tub, which we did not). Location is awesome, the historic King William neighborhood is really beautiful and along the River walk and easy to walk to other places of interest in San Antonio. My only criticisms would be that even though there was practically no other guests while we were there, the owner Don would not allow us a late check out. Seems he's a stickler for 'the rules' and while I checked out before my cousin, neither he nor his wife Lisel were on property to store my cousin's luggage as they promised they would. Nor did either answer their phone when she called them and only got voicemail. To further exacerbate the situation after check out they immediately changed the keypad code so that my cousin couldn't get back in to pick up her luggage (which she left in the foyer). So for her, it was super annoying. For me, not so much. But anyone wanting to stay can take the review into account. It's a pricey stay and seems it can be a hit or miss experience.

The exterior of the house is plush with bushes and grass with a garden. In the backyard area, there was a housed indoor pool - an unexpected surprise. Cindy, the innkeeper was fantastic! She was extremely warm and welcoming when we first arrived. She provided maps, points of interests, and fantastic restaurants to dine at while we were spending an extended weekend here. She was also the server at breakfast in the mornings. The Jackson House is located right on the outskirts of the heart of San Antonio. Every attraction, (The Riverwalk, Alamo and Alamo Plaza, Tower of the Americas, and lots of restaurants) were all within less than a mile of walking distance. So, besides being in a prime location, The Jackson House was a vintage throwback B&B with a southern charm feel. The room had a fireplace and a giant bathtub as well. In the early afternoons chocolate chip cookies, lemonade, and iced water were provided in the lobby guest area. Breakfast was freshly prepared each morning. You started with a cup of fruit and then served eggs or pancakes, home baked muffins, crisp bacon and or potatoes. Everything was tasty and packed with a hearty punch. The dining room was actually located in the main B&B inn called The Oge House - about 2 blocks away, which you can either walk to each morning or hop in the car for a quick drive. Overall, The Jackson House provided all the pleasant charms of a southern B&B that you'd come to expect. It certainly made my San Antonio getaway a special one!

Not to mention the price is reasonable and parking is free! We stayed in room #6 and loved everything about it from the skylights, the fireplace, the antique claw foot bath, and the plush bedding, it was perfect. The breakfast was not gourmet but very tasty and definitely better than the generic complimentary breakfast you get at chain hotels! Cookies and lemonade are kept in the dining area for afternoon snack. Didn't get to enjoy the pool but it's nice that we had the option! We will definitely be back!

I've stayed at four- and five-star hotels and resorts around the world, and Mokara was truly…read moreexceptional. What set it apart wasn't simply the beautiful hotel or location -- it was the level of personal care. Ariel at the concierge desk was wonderful. She helped arrange safe airport transportation for my friend when she arrived before me and, when my flight was significantly delayed, made sure she could check in without me. Being stuck traveling and knowing she was in good hands was invaluable. We were welcomed with a personal note, fruit, flowers and champagne, and then surprised with more birthday treats during our spa day. Those thoughtful details made the entire stay feel special. And the SPA! Easily one of the best I've ever visited. Being able to truly relax before and after our treatments -- especially in the beautiful post-treatment lounge -- made it an experience rather than simply a massage appointment. Jessica gave me what was quite literally the best massage I've ever had (and I've had a lot of massages!). Even the little things stood out: complimentary morning coffee delivered through room service and an incredibly kind and helpful room-service attendant. Luxury hotels can have beautiful rooms and impressive amenities. What made Mokara exceptional was how genuinely cared for we felt from beginning to end. The personal touches made all the difference. Mokara will absolutely be at the top of my list the next time I'm in San Antonio. Five stars without hesitation.

It was still AMAZING and left me wishing that I could stay longer! My King Room was huge and ultra clean and comfortable! Taking a break from work, I headed to the pool deck, which was small but sufficient and had comfortable chairs to sun in. I remembered an amazing redfish dish from Ostra, enjoyed so many years ago... I really wanted to eat at Ostra again this visit, because I saw redfish on the menu and wondered if it was really as good as my memory of it. I was initially bummed that Ostra was closed for a private event during my stay, BUT my disappointment quickly turned to excitement when I saw the same dish offered on the room service menu. YES!! It was as good if not better than my memory of it! Finally and importantly, the individuals working in valet, front desk, and room service were so service driven and friendly! Overall, I cannot wait to stay at the Mokara again in the hopefully, not so distant future!

Walking distance to a lot of great establishments. Free (if spotty) wifi. We stayed in the Guenther Room; having our own private entrance was a welcome surprise. However, if you do happen to want the Guenther, bring ear plugs and plenty of Tylenol PM... waiting to buoyantly infringe upon your sleeping experience, in no particular order: Endless traffic, utility vehicle back up safety alerts, trains, construction, chatter from early risers on the patio having to speak up to compete with the road noise, ivories being tickled on the living room piano (hopefully by a person), silverware being clanged in preparation for breakfast in the dining area and guests laughing heartily as they eat. All of which hurts, literally, after a night at 1919 and Joe's Blues. Not all of this was Beckmann Inn's fault, of course: they can't help the noisy traffic outside, or my wife and I being in our 30's not 50's (i.e. probably not gonna quite make that 9 a.m.-sharp breakfast call... or wait, would 20 be too young for that?). Also, no one forced me to drink that last tumbler of Johnnie Walker Black the night before. But, that was my experience.

I stayed here again a few months ago and admit that the service wasn't as personal as when the innkeepers were on site. However, the inn is historic, quaint, comfortable, in a fabulous location and the full breakfasts deserve at least a 3.5 rating. I was very impressed with the flexibility of the Inn Manager. I bought several Living Social vouchers and realized I could not use them before expiration. She extended the full voucher offer until I was able to use them at my convenience. . This inn deserves my 4 rating and I am hopeful that other satisfied guests will take the time to review the Beckmann Inn so it's average rating will not be dependent on a single bad customer experience.
