Riverside Nature Center

I have stayed here multiple times. I love to stay here because of the history. Being the oldest hotel west of the Mississippi, it is probably not the nicest hotel in downtown, but to me it is the coolest. The location is super nice once you get there. Getting to the drop off area valet parking is always difficult and I forget how to get to it every time I stay. Easy walking distance to the Alamo, the mall, the riverwalk and tons of restaurants and bars. You must go to the bar at the hotel just to say you were in the bar where Teddy Rosevelt recruited the rough riders. We have stayed in the original section and have experienced “ghost” or heard things like kids laughing and playing in the hall @ 4am. We will stay here again.
