We had a wonderful stay at the Brackenridge House Bed & Breakfast. Lily was our Host and she was very accommodating and friendly. The room was lovely - furnished well and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and the bedding was so comfy and cozy! We never moved our vehicle - everything we wanted to do was in walking distance: Riverwalk, Alamo Street. We hope to return very soon.

Great location. Calm neighborhood. Walking distance to Alamo and Riverwalk. Good Mexican restaurant called rosario’s Right around corner. Clean room. Great shower. Accomadting staff all of whom were very personable. Breakfast is timed and served usually at 9 am, as opposed to being buffet or order style, but was very good and filling the 3 mornings we ate. Also bc it was served to all guests at once, we had opportunities to meet and interact with other guests, which doesn’t always happen at these type facilities. House was old so be prepared for creaks. Also no elevator (that we saw or were made aware of) and a lot of stairs unless you are in one of rooms inside on first floor which could pose some difficulties for older guests. A very pleasant experience with no problems.

A gem! 💎

Wonderful house in a cozy strip of San Antonio. We loved being a short walk to the Riverwalk and all the restaurants and shops. Breakfast was delicious each day and I treated myself to a cookbook and souvenir mug! We enjoyed the hot tub on the one cold night and it was so refreshing. Definitely recommed this gem of a place!

Disappointing stay in frigid room

Stay away from this poorly insulated house. Even with the heat on full blast, we were chilled to our bones when it was 40-50F outside. Did I mention there was a draft? Because we spent so much time huddling under the blankets, we didn’t spend much time really enjoying the room.

Worst bed and breakfast I have stayed that

Where do I begin. Stayed in the Cardinal room. Outside porch light stayed on all night so I tried to sleep with a glaring light in my face all night. Cannot change the temp of the room so it was very hot. There was a canister of some type of liqueur in the room. God only knows what that was! They do not tell you that they are by train tracks that run ALL night, including train horns!! The inn keepers are NOT on site. Also, if you want breakfast, forget it. They don't serve breakfast until 9 a.m. so unless you want to start your day at 10 or later, move on. Will never stay there again. Couldn't even find anyone when we arrived or when we left. You stay here, you are on your own!

Excellent and relaxing stay.

Lily, the caretaker and owner was fenomenal. From the arrival greeting, the tour and history, the tasty breakfast and conversation, to the heartfelt departure. Everything was wonderful and just added the cherry to our anniversary getaway. This is the place to stay if you want quiet and serene accommodations with attention to every detail.
