Yelp.com Review - by A D.

5.0 of 5 stars. The Havana Hotel Riverwalk Inn is a great place to stay when in San Antonio or to hang out. The building was built in 1914 and resembles the colonial European design of the century past. The rooms...

4.0 of 5 stars. When you first walk in it feels like you are being thrown back 100 years. There is some feeling of eerieness because you are surrounded by antique mirrors and candleholders. The hotel itself creaks...

Disappointed

We had high expectations after reading the other reviews, but the drinks were terrible and the crowd was rude. Too many other good bars around to spend time going to this one.

Havana Riverwalk Inn-DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!!!

I LOVE this place!

You can never go wrong with Club Cohiba, one of our favorite spots. We even had our wedding afterparty here and stayed at the hotel (The Havanna) for our wedding night. It's great! Kinda pricey but worth it.
