Our take
I would book Hotel Gibbs for a couple or a small golf group that likes a hotel with a sense of place, since its position on the historic Alamo grounds sets it apart from a generic downtown address. A bar, a restaurant, a fitness center and free Wi-Fi cover the basics, and pets are welcome. It is not a course-side resort, so I would not choose it for a stay built around playing from the door.
- Book your tee times well in advance, especially during spring, as local courses can fill up quickly.
- Consider utilizing public transport or ride-shares for airport transfers to avoid parking fees at the hotel.
- Explore the Riverwalk in the evenings; it’s a short walk and offers diverse dining options beyond the hotel.
Why we love it
