Mokara Hotel & Spa San Antonio

This is a really great hidden gem in a sea of hotels on the riverwalk. The rooftop pool is amazing! Our kids enjoyed swimming and we enjoyed a full bar and resort style loungers complete with cool towels and umbrellas. Asia at the pool was so nice and she made some tasty craft cocktails! Edward, valet, was very welcoming and made our arrival and exit a breeze! We ate breakfast in the river level restaurant and it was very good. The views at breakfast were great because we were right on the river but tucked away under trees so it was still not overly hot.

This hotel is exquisite. The lobby is nicely appointed with some interesting architectural elements. The rooms had high ceilings and were voluminous. The service was top-notch. Everyone greeted me and were outwardly pleasant and professional. The bellmen were eager to help and give directions to places, the front desk made recommendations, and the housekeeping service were very professional. In fact, I had an issue with my iron. When housekeeping brought me a new iron, she mentioned it may still be warm, which indicated to me that she tested it to ensure I would not be brought a faulty replacement - thoughtful and professional. The location opens up to Crockett, which gives access to downtown. There is an elevator down to the river, which is convenient. The hotel makes extensive use of keycard tech, which made me feel safe. It was also very quiet in the evening despite the chaos down on the river level. If I return to SA, I will be staying here again.

Me, my girlfriend and my son stayed here this past Friday-Saturday as I was in the city for a job interview. I checked in late past midnight and the hotel concierge was very professional and courteous. She welcomed us in & explained valet, food service and amenities. Room was great, spacious and had a balcony overseeing the riverwalk. The king size bed was AMAZING and the 2 person bath was very relaxing. My only complaints would be that the fruit on counter they offered looked old, the place could’ve definitely been cleaned a bit better but my biggest complaint was that we were booked into a connecting room next to strangers. Yes, it was locked and neighbors didn’t bother but it would’ve been nice to be told that before we showed up or even at check-in. I would not mind staying here again in the future with no connecting room of course. Also, there is no on site parking & the valet service is $60 dollars a night. On a positive note the valet team was very friendly!
