I've stayed at Brackenridge House twice and found it really enjoyable. The owners are very friendly and helpful, both the house and the rooms have a lot of character, there's a lovely veranda, and the service is very good. Plus, there's a landscaped pool and hot tub too. I would definitely recommend it.

Loved the Brackenridge House. Lily and her staff were an absolute delight - (Roland was away so we hope to meet him the next time). The location was marvelous and convenient for everything. Recommendations made by Lily for restaurants and places to visit were spot on. We were there for 4 nights and every breakfast was excellent. My husband and...

Great place with well balanced gormet breakfasts and the amenities were well planned, lots of extras in our room including microwave, toaster and little refrigerator. We loved the proximity to downtown. Its only 2 blocks and a beautiful walk to the Riverwalk. The bus and trolley stops are only 1 street over (recommend the day passes) yet only 4 or...

We stayed at the Brackenridge House on April 6-10 in order to attend our son's graduation at Lackland Airforce Base. I knew we made the right choice the first night when we were welcomed with the wonderful surprise bottle of champange. We enjoyed it on the front porch swing, took a little stroll down to the riverwalk followed by a...

Lily & Roland were great hosts giving us valuable information, getting us tickets for a fiesta parade, and providing delicious multi course breakfasts. The house is located in the King William section of San Antonio which is a couple blocks off of the river, a reasonable walk into town and close to the trolley if you get tired of walking....

The German style pancake breakfast was divine. We loved sitting outside, photographing the birds, and leisurely eating breakfast. The peach sorbet for dessert was a tasty way to finish off the meal. The pool has a lovely waterfall, and little rubber duckies to send over the falls - what fu! Thank you for a memorable stay - we will definitely...

For my husband and I this was the perfect place. We enjoy staying at bed and breakfast establishments. We stayed two nights. Unlike other bed and breakfasts we've stayed at, this was not a historical adventure with antiques and a home with a history that was shared upon arrival. What it did have was a charming hostess that pampered us....

We stayed four nights in Monica. The owner/innkeepers, Lily and Roland, are charming, helpful guides to local scene and restaurants. Pleasant walks to a variety of restaurants within several blocks. Had no idea this was such a great location, easy walk to the Alamo, Riverwalk. Old German "King William District" is a high point, especially with the walking tour guide...

I have been to San Antonio's downtown a lot for leisure and business - and we've stayed in almost every type of hotel/motel/B&B. In general, none have been nicer than the Brackenridge House. The only two things that any traveler should consider before selecting this B&B is 1) location and 2) sleep quality (which is a function of location). The...
