    Well this hotel is not only beautiful but so much fun. We stayed here for a wedding and had a blast! Our room was so nice, the hotel looks fantastic, very classic vintage, the front desk staff was so helpful and nice. The event and bar staff were so much fun. The wedding and all the activities were so much fun at the hotel. I would definitely come back for another staycation. And being so centrally located you can walk to so many sites and food spots.

    Stayed at The Gunter Hotel for two nights and really enjoyed the newly renovated rooms. The location right next to the River Walk made it easy to get around and was a big reason I chose to stay here. Valet parking was available but at $65, it felt steep, so I parked across the street in public parking for much cheaper which worked out just fine. One of the coolest touches was being able to choose three vinyl records to bring up to the room and play on the record player they have in each room. It made the stay feel thoughtful and unique. I went with Miles Davis for relaxing vibes and Luke Combs for the country vibes. Did have a problem in room 721. The AC unit in the ceiling by the front entrance was making so much noise, when we shut off. Couldn't sleep. So had to go downstairs and ask for another room. And thankfully the person at the front desk helped out and gave another room immediately. The room was comfortable and quiet and the overall atmosphere felt classy without trying too hard. A great downtown option if you want something with personality and an unbeatable location.

    Stayed 12.26.25: A beautiful historic hotel in the heart of downtown San Antonio. Located a quick walking distance from the Alamo, The River Walk & a plethora of restaurants, bars and several theaters. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays & customer service was top notch. It has a speak easy, mini museum downstairs, barber shop & attached is a French patisserie. The lobby has a music section where you can check out up to 3vinyl records to take to your room and play on the record player located in each room. The hotel was recently renovated and they've done a great job. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, carpets in the hallways were plush and fresh looking. I enjoyed my quick stay very much. Highly recommend!

    Super nice staff; hotel was clean and welcoming. There is a taco place across the street - must try. Cheap and very good

    The restaurant has a cool art deco vibe. Lots of interesting historical pieces to look at. The breakfast was great at the restaurant with slow service but the staff was apologetic and very kind. Drinks downstairs were well priced for Marriott. Great time picking up vinyls to listen to our room. Bathroom was a very nice and beds/pillows allotted for a great night sleep. Beware, the rooms did smell on the 12th floor like mildew or just old. There was a new paint smell trying to cover it but it was clearly mildewy smell. Almost ruined my stay. The location was very local to walking. But if you're parking as we did be ready to pay $60/night for parking.

    Lovely hotel, wonderful location downtown, with fantastic staff & history. Be sure to see the basement & maybe get a haircut with the barber whose been cutting hair there since 1974! I work a conference yearly with the Air Force. This year they moved it to The Gunter Hotel. As excited as I was to see a new hotel, I was unaware it was a soft re-opening for them in progress. You will be too. It's quite discreet. The staff is handling it beautifully. The construction staff is excellent as well. Surprisingly quiet too. There was a couple of things that came up, but it was handled immediately & beautifully by the staff. The conference rooms were fit to the needs of each day perfectly. Hospitality staff (Tristan) was on the ball every day & on top of the primary conference area without fail. The whole staff from front desk, to the wonderful ladies in the dining area, housekeeping to the bakers to meeting the Barber whose been there since 1974, I did not meet a single person employed by The Gunter Hotel who wasn't an absolute delight to talk to & deal with during the day. I spent a week at this hotel in a different manner than most deal with hotels, so if I could ever recommend a hotel to people coming to San Antonio, it would be this one for sure. The breakfast, I had the opportunity to have each day, I enjoyed & it was wonderful as well. See photos for an example of the food, a typical buffet breakfast. They also had mini muffins, bagels, & other various pastries available. For drinks they offered coffee, teas, sodas, water & orange juice. It's great for all the right reasons.

    Bathroom in my hotel room. Absolutely loved this hotel.

    This was a really nice hotel to stay in. Valet is a bit tricky to find- It was very busy downtown when I got into town. They were pretty booked up and I wanted to stay an extra night- hotel staff was very accommodating and even made sure I got to keep my room and gave me late checkout the next day. Lovely little bakery onsite and the bartenders are top notch. Bonus is the record players in the room and complementary records you can checkout from the library to take to your room.

    Wow! Romantic, lovely, newly renovated (reopened only a month ago) landmark hotel. Alejandro and Ovi at the front desk were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They were well versed in the hotel's history and renovation and shared cool facts, stories, places to go, etc. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and the lobby lounge, bar, and Jots were very well appointed and buzzing with guests. Love they mixed the hotel's history and the modern perfectly (1909 to now) - from the original switchboard and mail drops to the in-room record player, lighting, fixtures and furnishings - our stay was both romantic and relaxing. Be sure to visit the Paris Baguette for delectable pastries and desserts. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary and Christmas visit.

    The bar connected was delicious

The hotel was clean with the most comfortable beds and pillows and the very fun and convenient breakfasts and dinners/drinks. The beds and pillows were so comfy, we slept for almost 12 hours our first night... The foods, buffet style, were good, with many options. (They are comfort foods, if you expect high-end kind, it's not for you...) The customer services were what we appreciated and enjoyed the most.

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!

Then I made my way to the front desk gosh, I wish I remembered her name. Marissa maybe? I can't remember, but she was an absolute professional. She checked me in and got me everything I needed and was just above and beyond top-notch pro! She held my luggage and text me when my room was ready. Also, Alli, who's working the evening is absolute professional as well. Top-notch service. Ashley who's working the restaurant she answered the phone and took my order. Another top-notch professional everyone with the name A is winning here. Last but not least Asia, she gave me the best massage ever. I've been getting massages for 22 years and that has been one of the best Massage I've ever had. So if you ever come to this hotel and you need a massage do yourself a favor and ask for Asia. She is simply the best. Comfort, the level comfort here is the best. The AC blows ice cold, the beds are super comfy. Everything they do here is to make your stay perfectly the best. They have fresh fruit and cookies and water scattered throughout the building. What a nice touch. The king premium room is super spacious and very nice. The spa, area is amazing. I really enjoyed the Jacuzzi, sauna and the relaxation room. Followed by the Massage. Everything is perfect here. I haven't had one issue at this hotel. Everyone that works here is simply top-notch and I understand the level of class at this hotel is all about. It's definitely not cheap but let me tell you what you get what you pay for because this is top-notch service. This will be one of my go to hotels when I come to San Antonio from now on

In the lobby for checkin today, I had an instant headache because the fragrance was so strong. At that point they informed us that there is some additional fee per day on top of the already pricey room, a fee that they never disclosed before today. We continued upstairs, and I could hardly breathe in the elevator it was so scented. When we got to the room it was also heavily fragranced. I tried to call the front desk, and the phone in the room didn't work reliably. Our call dropped several times. They offered box fans for us to air out the room. However, when we opened the windows, a blast of cigarette smoke wafted into the room because it is directly above their designated smoking area. We asked the front desk for help, and they said not to worry, hardly anyone smokes in that area. Meanwhile we watched several people out there smoking almost constantly. They offered no other accommodation or help. Not worth it. Very uncomfortable and upset because this will ruin our vacation. Edit: 1 to 3 stars. The manager eventually heard our concerns, responding to a secondary issue with cigar smoke in our room after leaving windows open - their recommendation- to air out the room. They found us a different accommodation and made it more than fair and comfortable. Why not 4 stars? Because it took the entire first day to be resolved.
