Not worth the price

Rating: 4

I was so excited for my weekend at the Emily Morgan. I chose this hotel specifically for the room with the jacuzzi bathtub and view. I called after I made the reservation to make sure that I was going to get the room I requested and the woman confirmed it. When I got to my room, I was on the 3rd floor. I immidately went to the bathroom to check out the view from the tub and much to my diappointment, the glass was frosted over for obvious reasons. That night when I got into bed, there were holes in my bed sheets on one side though the bed was comfortable. The next morning when I went to take a shower, there was hair all over the tub. I was very disappointed. I would have rather had a cheaper, smaller room then a big dirty one. When I completed the review the hotel sent me after my stay, I let them know about my diappointments. The hotel manager called and left me a message and that was over a week ago. I have called and left messages for him to call me back but to no avail. If you arent satisfied with your stay, dont expect them to try and keep your business.

I've stayed at The Emily Morgan Hotel several times and have always been pleased with all the ammenities provided and the service I received. The rooms are HUGE and the location is perfect. You can walk to everything. I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in San Antonio for business or pleasure!

This hotel rocks!!!

My husband and I traveled to San Antonio to participate in the half marathon this past weekend and we were sooooo happy we stayed at the Emily Morgan. Their beds are incredibly comfortable! Also, the shower heads and water pressure are perfect after a hard workout. It is a superb location if you plan to spend time at the Alamo, the Riverwalk or even the Convention Center. The staff is very friendly and we were given great recommendations over and over again about where to eat in downtown San Antonio (in order to avoid tourist traps). Plus, they were wonderful to our two doggies. This hotel is beautiful, classy, and lacks any sort of snobby attitude that you might run in to at other upscale hotels. We'll definitely be back.

The room was sooooo unbelievably small. I also had a horrible view of the parking lot and other side of the city. Also, I specifically wanted a hotel with a business center. When I arrived I needed to use it right away. I asked for the "business center", and they directed me to a desk in the middle of the lobby with a computer and printer. This was their business center. To make it worse was the monitor was facing the street. So please don't do anything confidential in their "business center". Ridiculous for the price!

Did not meet expectations

Rating: 4

Wife and I celebrated our 1st year anniversary and stayed at the Emily Morgan. We called a month ahead to reserve a room with a king bed, jacuzzi, and Alamo view. The woman on the phone kept trying to sell us a room with 2 full sized beds. When we arrived we were booked a room with 2 full sized beds. They apologized for the "mis-communication" and discounted us $50 per night. We felt cheated and ended up sleeping in a full sized bed (we have a queen at home) for our anniversary!! There were no bathrobes in the room, we called the front desk and were told there weren't any available!! The hotel has a cozy charm and is near the Rivercenter, riverwalk, and Alamo. For its location, and amenities, the Emily Morgan offers great value, but hit or miss service. Worth a try, but were not going back.

honeymoon

Rating: 10

The Emily Morgan Hotel offers you the chance to email their staff. To my surprise, an assistant manager called for arrangements. We called 45 minutes prior to arrival and the plaza suite was prepared for us. They contracted an outside vendor for many of the accessories. The Jacuzzi was filled with water and bath salts. Rose petals floated on top of the water and several candles were lit around the tub. The windows could be opened from the Jacuzzi to see the Alamo and the rest of the breathtaking view. Chocolate covered strawberries and chilled champagne was waiting and dozens helium filled balloons. We were given valet parking and a carriage ride. The Oro restaurant was outstanding. Truly this was a honeymoon for the ages, one we will never forget. We plan to have many other romantic getaways at the Emily Morgan. I highly recommend it!

We stayed at the Emily for the lighting of the Riverwalk and WOW! This is the hotel for you! We had room service every morning and it was delicous! Then we had drinks at the bar before heading out (an didn't spend a fortune!) and then hit the riverwalk which was right across the street! IT was perfect. Anyone who is anyone should try this out, it is definatley worth the stay.

AMAZING!!

What an incredible hotel! The best location, the best rooms that I have ever stayed in, and teh staff is unbelievable! I recommend that you stay here everytime you go to San Antonio. I have stayed at some of the finest hotels in New York and San Fransisco and they don't compare to Emily Morgan. If you don't stay here you are missing out. Coming back soon...

Magical Home Away From Home

Rating: 10

This past Labor Day (2003), my best friend and I had the oppertunity to stay at this FABULOUS hotel. We wanted to get away from the norm, so after alot of searching, I found Emily. The pictures on the web sold me, and once we arrived, we were in total aew of her beauty! Once we had checked in and were given our room keys we were absolutely thrilled to see our FANTASTIC view!! We looked out onto the Alamo. We spent 2 nights with Emily, and the whole staff was wonderful. I have highly recommended this property to my friends, and we are planning our next Labor Day to include a stay with Emily!! We had EXCELLENT service. The onsite bar, ORO, is nice too. We had drinks there every night. AND she is located within walking distance to many of San Antonio's attractions, especially the River Walk!!

Best Hotel

My friend and I spent Labor Day weekend 2003 with Emily, and had THE BEST TIME! The hotel was more than we expected, our view was FABULOUS (we looked out onto the Alamo) and the location was PERFECT!! We were walking distance from everything. And the hotel staff were VERY accommodating. I have recommended the Emily Morgan to all of my friends, and I plan on going back soon!! If you are planning a trip to San Antonio, I would definately check out the Emily Morgan!!

Not Bad

My wife and I stayed at the Emily Morgan for a romantic weekend getaway. While the room was much smaller than I was expecting, the feather top bed was very comfortable. The shower was a little crazy, it would fluctuate between hot and cold without even touching the faucet. We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant which was very classy and the food was excellent. Also, the hotel bar was well stocked and had a very relaxing atmosphere. However, the drinks were a little pricy. Overall it was a nice hotel and we would definatly stay there again.

There's better....

My boyfriend and I spent a weekend in San Antonio and thought that the Emily Morgan would fulfill our wish for a romantic getaway. How wrong we were. First, we went to a room that had a conference table in it. Yes, we were placed in the wrong room. Besides our conference table..it was a nicer room so we didn't complain. At night we ordered room service. Our food never came! We called downstairs and no one cared to answer the phones.We gave up and fell asleep..to be awaken by the cleaning lady in our room who decided to ignore the DO NOT DISTURB notice. After calling the manger plenty of times he finally called back to inform us sorry for the inconvenience..but basically too bad. We weren't offered more than a sorry apology. No romance for us this weekend...not to mention the ants in our mini bar.

A diamond in the rough

Rating: 10

i have been coming to San Antonio for the past year on business and have finally found a hotel which doesnt feel like a hotel. the hotel has been completely remodeled. the lobby and the new bar are gorgeous. the rooms are very nice with lots of extras. My coffe make did not work and i called maid service. within minutes i had a brand new one. it is expensive to stay here, but check out expedia rates tehy are substantially lower. nice and close to everything. No parking on site, only valet.
