Pros

Rooftop pool maintained at 85 degrees year-round with adjacent hot tub

Full-service spa offering unique treatments like rose-infused facials

Double-door entry with wheelchair accessible ramp and ADA-compliant facilities

Live music performances and special events regularly hosted on-site

Cons

“This is a property where location meets luxury. The stylish suites offer ample space and privacy, complemented by a rooftop spa with skyline views, and I think that alone makes it worth considering. Dining at the Ambler Texas Kitchen is a culinary highlight, especially with its focus on local ingredients.”

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Contessa, which was not only clean but also provided a comfortable environment. The location is fantastic, as it's right on the Riverwalk, making it easy to access nearby attractions. The service was decent, but I felt the pricing was on the higher side without offering enough amenities to justify it. Overall, it's a good option, especially if you're looking for a pet-friendly place near local attractions.
