My friend and I just did a trip across America, staying in many chains like Hilton - but the Obrien hotel far surpassed them all in service. I had a mini computer and borrowed a cable from the front desk for free internet. They put on a breakfast in the morning in the lobby. The rooms are large and the... more

This historic hotel is worth it for almost every traveler out there. It's not immediately adjacent to the famed Riverwalk (i.e. no river views, but instead nice views of the Tower of the Americas and La Villita). However, it's only a pleasant 5 minute walk from the Riverwalk with rooms for much less money than the expensive Riverwalk hotels, and... more

Not on the Riverwalk, but walking distance to almost everything makes this a very good value. We were very pleasantly surprised. Clean, helpful staff, comfortable beds, etc. more

We loved this hotel! We paid $85 per night, which was a deal considering it was just 2 blocks from the River Walk. The bed was possibly the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in...really! We slept better than we did at home. We had the room closest to the front door and desk and thought this would be... more

I totaly enjoyed the turn down service, the friendly staff, the atmospere, and especially the location! It is quaint, cozy and comfortable. more

We were hesitant about our O'Brien reservation after reading what others had written, but our experience could not have been better. We had a 3rd-floor, king-bed, balcony room, it was quiet, clean, comfortable bed, attractive and updated. The location is ideal, away from the noise and crowds of the "main" riverwalk area, but only minutes away from a riverwalk entrance,... more

I agree with the previous review. However, the room was smaller than other hotels nearby. Although it is on located near the Riverwalk, it is located at the far end of the Riverwalk. The room had a nice whirlpool bath, free wireless internet, and a VERY small breakfast. The minuses are no fridge, small room, limited parking for an additional... more

After hearing a lot of great reviews my fiance and I were very excited about staying at this hotel, especially since we were getting a discount from my organization. We are young travelers, and not very picky, but this hotel was just an extreme disappointment. The parking was a bit of a hassle, but we were able to get lucky... more

When one mentions the Clarion - O'Brien with 69 rooms, they may envision a small hotel that is either well patrolled or quaint. This hotel is adequate in both regards. My personal experience was influenced by being placed on the ground floor, just around the corner from the front desk. The room was newly renovated and had a whirlpool bath.... more
