Lonely Planet "Small and unassuming. You could almost walk by and miss the exclusive digs at the Fairmount. Good thing, too. Who wants others to notice?" Full review

Be sure to take note of the Plaza Riverwalk's lobby. It was built in 1929, the heyday of exuberance.
Star Service "While demanding travelers will want to stick with the usual suspects—Westin, Menger, Hotel Valencia and Omni La Mansion del Rio, budgeters looking for value cannot go wrong here.

Ask for a room with a terrace overlooking the river.
Frommer's "Both the grand high-ceilinged design and the prime location are not what you’d expect from moderately priced digs, where a hot breakfast and happy-hour snacks and drinks are included in the room rate. " Full review
