The location right on the riverwalk is excellent! Hotel is very nice and staff is very friendly! Would definitely stay again in the future. My only compaint about the hotel is the cost of parking. Valet parking is $40 and self parking is $30 per night. Very expensive. If you stay a few nights parking ends up costing you as much as an additional night's stay.
Centrally located in Downtown, you are minutes from most sites and right on the scenic river walk. Nice and helpful staff will greet and assist you. sound proofing. With construction across the street waking you up at 6:40 am, easily hearing the conversations of others in the hall ways and flushing of toilets, sleep was easily disrupted. shower tub and carpet had stains/not fully cleaned. bathroom fixture groves had visible dust collected. really small pool, not sure if its that i'm from Miami, Fl where there is many pools. its about the size of the elevator hallway and maybe 4 ft deep.
Fabulous location, very friendly staff who were very accommodating. Excellent bronch every morning. Wait staff in the restuara to were friendly and helpful. Room was a reasonable size but bathroom was a little bit worn. On the one day we forgot to leave a tip, the cleaning staff did a less than adequate job cleaning the room.
Convenient to Alamo & other attractions! Easy entry!
The view of the room was amazing! Enjoy time on the top level pool with an amazing view of the city. Construction on the second floor during the day.
Location was wonderful, room was clean Hotel was dated. Too expensive for what we got. Upon return to our room we discovered our AC was not working. Front desk sent up a tech but he couldn't fix it. So they gave us a fan.... No one from mgmt contacted me and no apologies. Just nothing. I paid less for my room at the beautiful La Cantera the night before.
Room was nice and orderly. Friendly staff. Couldn't get the room cool enough. Didn't sleep very well due to the room not being cool enough. Very humid.
Front desk staff were exceptional as were housekeepingfolks as we travelled through the hotel.
Great location. Beautiful hotel
Staff extremely friendly service great location great
Rooms clean. Easy access to riverwalk. All employees helpful and friendly Nothing
Hotel was clean, the staff was friendly, exclusive access to the Alamo and Riverwalk
Excellent hotel near the heart of the riverwalk.
I was very surprised that not only did I get free breakfast with my stay but also free dinner (buffet) and 3 free happy-hour drinks each day! The staff was friendly (sometimes almost over-friendly), and the location was perfect. Highly recommend. Room smelled like chlorine when I came in, and the water tasted heavily chlorinated. The room was a bit poorly lit, and the windowsill outside the room was consistently overrun with pigeons. Glasses as opposed to plastic cups would be preferred (for the environment), and a safe to lock up valuables would have been nice. (I prefer not to have to take my passport with me everywhere.)
Location Elevator use was impossible, walked down stairs from 15th floor with luggage.
Enjoyed the kickback and proximity to riverwalk. they charged my card $482 dollars for parking when it was only supposed to be $46. Took them a week to refund the money and then they still charged me for the parking!! What a joke! Where is the coustomer service?
Great breakfast, lovely bathroom, comfortable beds. Very slow elevators. Unfortunately we were leaving the same time a large group from a convention was checking out and the 3 elevators could not keep up with the demand.
I didn't like that when checking in they ask for my credit card again after I had already paid $857 online. Not knowing that valet was not included they kept trying to swipe different amounts to charge and blocked my card for suspicious faudulent charges. Terrible communication cuz they could've asked me what card I wanted to use, nothing. Also valet customer service was horrible while my sister was arriving in her vehicle with my nephews she asked for help carrying her luggage off and was ignored by valet. He could've called someone for help, but definitely not worth the money, never again
The service from the hotel was very much as I would of expected. As soon as in pulled I to valet, the valets were very kind to not only greet and open the door, they immediately unloaded the car and took me inside to check in. With warm greeting from the staff, I was very impressed with how clean the entire hotel was in addition to the room. Great service and defiantly will be back One if the employees seemed to have a little bit of attitide considering that all I asked for was to have shaving cream sent to my room. Other than that, everything else was fine.
Staff friendly
Everything, but the outdoor smoking areas were in direct sun or behind pool area that had no air.
Beautiful view. Very peaceful. Didn't realize there would be 60$ charge for parking
The room was small and we couldn't even upgrade
I loved the location. Steps from the river and the mall. My room had way too much wear and tear. The head board was all scratched up. The tub has cracked and rusted and was clogged up the water would not drain when i took a shower. The door handle was at 5 o clock instead of 3. The room did not feel like a Grand Hyatt room. It felt like i was at a cheap hotel. I suggested to the manager that that room should not be occupied untill it get fixed.
Very nice accommodations. Breakfast buffet was understaffed, was not explained properly
Location was right no the river. Beautiful Lobby Rooms were very comfortable, awesome view of the tower. Valet Parking was $37 + Tax = $40.00!
Location is adjacent to convention center, staff is very professional and strives to make you feel welcome. Rooms are clean and everything worked. Rooms are dated with sound transmitting walls. Amenities are business travel grade without the higher end amenities expected for the price.
From the complimentary brunch at Ruth Chris, to the friendliness of the staff, i am impressed everytime i come here.
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. Train noise in the early morning hours outside the hotel and noisy visitors next door and down the hall.
How close it was to the river walk. The smell on our floor and room size.
Housekeeping was fast. Location on the river walk was very convenient. The room and bathroom were very small. There was also a very strong scent of perfume that was overwhelming when you walked into the hotel. We noticed it every time we came into the hotel during our stay. It was almost nauseating. Parking was expensive. It was the week of Thanksgiving and the front desk seemed to be severely understaffed.
Location, easy to find, by riverwalk. Oh, the people working there, OUTSTANDING IN EVERY ASPECT! Nothing, would stay there if the prices were better!
The hotel was great and the staff was nice as well by accommodating you with the services and room. We had a great view and we could just walk downstairs to the river walk. The river walk was close but the places we wanted to go to were further than expected. Overall the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter was great especially since it has a mall right down stairs. I did not like that you had to pay for parking. Your paying a price you would think that that would be included. Also there was no mini fridge in the room for food.
Hotel had lots of activities planned for families and kids, including egg hunt and wake up call by the Easter bunny. Super friendly staff and very clean. Excellent access to the mall and food court area for those that like different tastes on a budget, but also quick access to very nice restaurants as well. Some of the activities were at the other Marriott across the street
Location is great Could not accommodate our truck - had to park off site.
Near Convention Center. Bathroom was not clean.
Cyn from the front desk and Michael at the concierge desk were fantastic! They helped make my stay amazing!
The front desk staff was unprepared and it to over 45 minutes to check in
Location and large size rooms Issues with hot water and terribly slow and incompetent valet
nice "earthy' atmosphere and location love the suite option very expensive valet parking and no self parking lot poor room service options and other snack options no balconies or windows to open poor ventilation in rooms small pool and hot tub broken
The room was considerably larger than I expected, with a separate sitting area. Everything was clean, and in good condition. The regular price was fairly expensive, but I managed to get a reasonable rate through Expedia.
very clean, great location, friendly staff,
Very clean. Polite, professional staff. Wife enjoyed the spa and the gym is very nice. Good location for visiting all of the tourist spots in san Antonio. No hand rails in the bath tubs/shower. Fell twice getting into and out of the shower. Sides of the tub are very high. Too many children running around the halls unattended, noisy. No frig or micro wave in the room. Onsite food and drink is very expensive. Ice machines are far apart on the floors. no vending machines for late night drinks/snacks. Valet parking is very expensive. View was nothing spectacular because of the trees surrounding the hotel.
THE staff was very accommodating and very nice. Everything was provided before I would ask for it. Overall, a great experience . Love the old Spanish charm that the hotel is made off. Very charming ambiance. The session that I attended in San Antonio finished every 2230 in the evening. I did not like that the hotel restaurant is close early like around 2200. I wish the restaurant is open 24 hours. I also wish that there is a Starbucks inside the hotel for the convenience of all the hotel guest.
Made a special stop at the river walk on our five day trek from Pittsburgh to puerto Vallarta Mexico. Stopped to enjoy the beautiful view and exeperience the river walk. The resort was absolutely gorgeous. Unique with design, very friendly conceierge, and beautiful room layout. Our one and only critique, and rather silly at that, after pulling in with our vehicle and stopping at the front valet, the attendant seemed almost shocked when we said, yes we would like you to park the car, and replied with an almost doubtful "are you sure? Wouldn't you like to hear the prices?" Though I'm sure he was just trying to do his job and avoid later frustration, the tone in which he asked us the question was borderline offensive. Young man if we can afford to stay where we are staying we certainly assure you we can afford to park.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating! The fee for parkig at the hotel was ridiculous, $36 per night.
The suite was great - nice sitting area, spacious bathroom, good bedroom and everything worked perfectly. The hotel's location is directly on a loop of the riverwalk which is good because it puts you right into the attraction, but is not on the main section so it's much quieter and easier to find a dining place. Parking is available across the street from the hotel and the street itself is not as busy as those nearer the Alamo. Parking at the hotel is a ridiculous $36/night and they charged for two parking spots for our two motorcycles even though we actually had both bikes consolidated out of the way in the valet area not even in the parking garage. That was irritating. The hotel staff were polite but very cold and decidedly unfriendly. Don't believe I did anything to be offensive or difficult - I didn't even argue about the parking issue - but all of the desk staff (two in the evening, one in the morning) gave the impression they had much better things to do than speak with me.
Check In was easy. Hotel room sitting area was actually very comfortable and functional to use, unlike most average hotel suites. Location was great. On the Riverwalk plus just 2 blocks from literally everything. Self parking lots were super close as well, if you don't like waiting for the valet everytime. Hotel desk staff were business friendly, but it did not feel genuine. Which is the opposite of everyone else we met in San Antonio. This was one of the friendliest cities we've encountered!! Also the tub in our room did not drain properly, so you stood in water while you showered and the faucet was loose and spun all the way around.
Staff, service, room, and the hospitality was awesome.
We stayed river side and enjoyed the balcony view and relaxation. All employees were extremely kind and considerate! Thanks for a wonderful stay. Parking was too expensive.
Nice room right on the riverwalk parking was a big issue and expensive
My room location was awesome. The view I had for the firework show during New Years Eve was even better. I live and work in the UAE (Dubai). We have some of the best and most world class hotels that anyone can offer. With that said,....my first stop when I landed last week was the Palacio Del Rio. I put my bags on top of the dresser and when I pulled them off,..I found a lot of dust on top of the dresser. I did not make a fuss about it,..but I do know that the places I stay around the globe will not tolerate such a thing. Other than that,..the staff there was extremely polite and helpful. I will def. stay at the Palacio del Rio during my next visit to San Antonio.
Stayed there for SA Marathon. Had to get up at 4:30 but could hear loud music outside until 10 PM. Also, AC did not work very well.
Great position
Seemed to have difficulty getting auto from valet parking. Took 50 minutes one time.
Friendly, helpful and warm staff. Location is excellent, right smack at the river walk. Within walking distance to all main attractions in the city
No free wifi
Staff very helpful, assisted in getting my husband a golf tee time, friendly, patient, good suggestions for things to do, and places to get services. Would have liked spa services available at the hotel.
The river walk A little expensive for the small room
I got an upgrade to another room and it was awesome there on out
Being an Onmi hotel I had much higher expectations. It was very dark, although they wanted a certain style (not sure exactlybwhat it was, old, Mexican, historic) they didn't pull it off very well. The carpets were dirty and dull, the room was musty and very dark. The staff was very friendly, the location was prrfect, right in the heart of the fun, the bed was very comfortable and the towels were nice.
Love the fact that from the time you pull in till the time you leave the staff takes all the stress out of your stay. Also love that you can walk right out the doors and your on the river walk. The only complaint is there is no hotel shuttle to area attractions.
This bad experience had ever happened to me and my family before. I will never use again KAYAK again to book my reservations. Result, they have this "Getaroom" subsidiary with a poor description of their booking application, and it scammed you before you know the transaction has a nonrefundable policy until it is too late via your email confirmation. I called them, my credit card, agent, and the hotel. None of them were in the good customer satisfaction attitude to refund my money, cancel, or reschedule the booking transaction. Be aware of using them to book your reservation before it is too late. Anyone can make a mistake some time, but this Draculonian thirsty-blooded camming business does not care for you. Pray to Lord, this kind of business entities does not prosper any more in the traveler's economy.
Great location and I liked the rustic feel of the place. The card reader on the door did not work well. Took at least 10 tries before it actually opened the door. The carpet isn't the greatest. Have to pay for wifi.
The good news is that the hotel is right on the River Walk, so you're right in the heart of the action. If you're looking for action - this is the place to stay. The bad news is that the hotel is right on the River Walk so you're right in the heart of the action. A lot of noise from the River tour boats and people, so if you're looking for quiet - this isn't the place.
Location is everything. The Omni La Mansion is in a perfect location on the riverwalk without the crowds of the convention hotels. The service was top notch and the food was fabulous.
Very nice location no AC in hallways, bedroom ac did not work that well. Needs to be updated for sure.
Nice and clean hotel with very friendly staff. Centrally located so you can walk most places very quickly...or take a cheap Uber ride. Breakfast buffet was delicious!! We parked our car at valet but wasn't aware that it was $40/night. You might find cheaper options in one of the many parking garages close by. All and all...great place to stay!
Staff and rooms
Good location and friendly staff Very old hotel. Our first room had a broken faucet. Second room was better but needed updating. A ton of road noise and party people on Friday night. Very expensive especially the breakfast buffet which could have been larger for the price.
Everything. Breakfast on the riverwalk, emaculate rooms, stylish old style bar with knowledgeable bar tender. If you hear the alarm, call the front desk. It's a parking garage across the street. They don't own it. It shuts off quick, but the front desk won't hear it, so call them .
Love the balconies over the river walk, historic character of the building and that it's pet friendly. Enjoyed listening to the church bells in the pool court yard (we were there on Easter Sunday morning). Had to pay for wifi. Verizon cellular service barely worked in our room, cell & text functioned poorly, data did not work, so we did not have internet access during our stay.
Location was great and the staff that was working was excellent This was not up to Wyndham standards. Was still under construction which was not indicated on the site. Restaurant was temporary and staffing almost non- existent . Things were old and not updated in the rooms.
We loved the location, just a block from the RiverWalk. The staff were wonderful. The shower in the room was amazing! The pool was the high-light of the trip!
Air conditioner in the room would not cool below 74 degrees. Too warm to sleep comfortably.
Location Staff was very unhelpful and place was really dirty and loud besides the room because it was under construction.
The staff was great. Food was good. Great location The hotel in under renovation and it didn't look as nice as it have looked. I realize is an older hotel and it's good that they are renovating. Just wished I was there after renovations were completed. I was not aware of construction when I booked.
The only thing we did like was the fact that it might be haunted. I have pictures if globs of hair in the drain and strands if hair on the sink faucet and floor.
Hotel had large rooms very clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly
Friendly staff, excellent sized rooms, convenience of location to major city attractiions, quick response to issues. Shame about the construction, but that is a fact of life re hotel lifecycle.
Close to Riverwalk, Alamo. Good breakfast, Service Despite rebuilding activities a good stay is possible. Compensated by excellent free lunch for two Warm water shower not on temperature.
location is great, staff was friendly hotel is under renovation. any and all pictures you find on line are completely inaccurate or downright deceptive. even the official website shows a hotel that does not look anything like this one. rooms have no soundproofing so you hear EVERYTHING. bathrooms look institutional, ceiling tiles hanging out of the hallway ceilings, etc.... the place is a mess, loud and not very pleasant to stay at. only saving grace was we didn't spend much time in the room.
The location. Within walking distance to the Riverwalk and The Alamo. Also many fine restaurants located nearby. Also, the staff was very friendly and accomodating. The hotel is in the process of a big time renovation. There was a slight inconvenience at times because of construction dust and noise and elevator shutdowns.
We loved the hotel. It was very beautiful and clean. Even tho they were renovating we didn't hear a thing. The staff was magnificent and always helpful. We will be staying there again. Only if we get a room with a view of the park. Lol
The hotel has a great location on the riverwalk in a quieter area next to the mall. The room we had (handicap) was very large, and the bed was comfortable. The lobby was nice, there was a starbucks in the lobby, and the food at the bar and restaurant were good. This was one of the biggest hotel disappointment I've had in the past. year. I traveled over 200 days in the past year and stayed at quite a few different hotels, so I don't say this lightly. When we first walked into the room (905 handicapped) the bathroom stood out as an eyesore. It was at least 5-10 years past when it should have been renovated. The grout was multiple different colors that made it look like it could be moldy, the wallpaper was peeling from the walls, and there was a general lack of craftmanship in the way it was constructed. The final straw was when I went to take a shower, and the shower head connection was leaking and spraying water in all directions. It wasn't just a loose connection, because I was unable to stop the leak. This is something a guest should never have to deal with at a chain like the Marriott. I asked the front desk to be transferred, but because it was a busy time the only available room was the room below us (805). This bathroom was in slightly better condition, although there were a few cracked and chipped tiles. Although the shower head worked, it was a very low end and cheap looking model. The bigger problem was when my wife tried to take a shower the first night, she was unable to maintain a constant water temperature. It would alternate between cold and very hot. She showed me how red her feet were, and I can only imagine what sort of a problem this could pose to an elderly or handicapped person. The other problem was the terrible tv reception while we were trying to watch the sugar bowl in our room. It would constantly blur or pause, making it nearly impossible to watch the game. Fortunately or unfortunately, the reception on the large tv's at the bar was fine. In summary, this is not the type of property I would expect for a Marriott. For the time around the new year the value wasn't bad (just under 200) however I would have preferred to spend 50% more on a room that looked like it had been renovated in the past 10-20 years. In the past year the only time I have experienced bathrooms in this sort of condition were in $50 rooms in towns with less than 5000 people. Buyer beware.
We liked the location so much!! Just besides the Alamo, and the hotel is nicely preserved!! You can see the age of the hotel in the rooms! The bathroom was extremely small but usefull. The valet it's on the expensive side!!
San Antonio's 1859 hotel was all it promised. Perfect central location next to the Alamo, and the Menger Hotel itself is rich in history, generously displayed throughout the building. The room itself was just fine, but I am interested mostly in the ambience outside the room (so long as the beds, showers and such are good). We will return. One note of special interest: the maid was a great source of info; cheerful and helpful! The view from the window? - a wall! Next time we will ask for a courtyard or other external, interesting view. Otherwise, all was well.
The historic portion of the hotel is beautiful! Rooms are small,full size bed... but very nice and very clean. I would like to suggest that better quality sheets be used on the bed... sheets were way to big, so they tangled up at your feet. The beds are not the most comfortable to begin with and the sheets only made it worse.
Historical, legendary hotel - also comfortably contemporary ... Plus, the staff at the front desk was polished and helpful. They made us feel they were serious about our enjoyment of the hotel. Would have liked to have stayed another day to enjoy more of the amenities, such as the Menger Bar and its TR Rough Riders connection. Note: You really need a "none of the above" category for the second question on who was in your party -- none of those definitions fit. This was frustrating and I almost didn't write this review, but decided to submit it by checking "group of friends" even though it's wholly inadequate to describe my party, which was me, my sister, and mother, and my sister's boyfriend.
Location is excellent Beds are quite narrow. Air conditioning went out one night. Thankfully, it was repaired the next day.
If you want a little history stay, this place is it. This place is great old school hotel with the oldest bar in town. Has a nice pool and inner garden to chill. Nice helpful staff Rooms were clean and large. The shower could have stronger flow and pool service coming around a bit (there is a phone to place order) but that is not a big deal. Location is perfect - Riverwalk starts right here and Alamo is a cross the street Can't open windows in the room (the old bulding) Shower has weak water flow
The hotel's location can't be beat: a block away from the Alamo, a couple blocks away from the convention center, and right next to a shopping mall with a wide variety of restaurants and stores. The staff was very friendly. The room worked for what I needed, but it could have been better. The bathroom was small and was, for some reason, built 6-8 inches higher than the rest of the room. You could hear everything through the walls.
I like the over all feel for the hotel. The size of the room. But looked at the other rooms and i guess for a bit more you gst more space.
Beautiful hotel with charm and character. So close to everything and convenient for someone on foot/ for public transport/ for tours. Great pool. People working there were very nice - allowed late check out at 1:00pm. A bit noisy at night - one night it was loud drunk tourists, once it was random construction at restaurant in mall next door, & once the fire alarms went off. I don't think it's the hotel's fault though.
I stay here often and I have tried other places it's so luxurious for the money and the location is in the middle of everything!
The Menger is very historic and literally right across the street from the Alamo. There are lots of things to do that are within easy walking distance that give you the San Antonio experience. The historic nature alone is worth the stay. We didn't get a room in the old, original, historic section. Our room was outdated and in need of renovation.
Ordered breakfast off the restaurant menu. It was high priced and the portion size was small. 1 breakfast taco with sides was $16!
Got there about 11 am. Had a nice clean room ready for use. Staff was friendly. Had a free shuttle to take use to the river walk so we were save in an area we did not know. Not thing. Everything was great
The hotel is drastically understaffed. The housekeeper didn't come by our room until after 7p and that included us calling around 3p to make sure they hadn't skipped us. When we got back to our room that evening, we noticed bags of our trash and lots of other rooms trash scattered down the hallways. The wait staff at breakfast were opening talking about how much they hate their jobs, and the front desk was always full of other guests complaining about something that went wrong with their stay.
Great location but due to construction getting to hotel can be tricky. Hotel is newly redesigned it seems and was very welcome and bright. Room was great size and staff was wonderful Not sure what happened but when we arrived and decided to use the restroom it seemed that someone has already been there and sprayed the toilet lid and left their pubic hair
Pretty clean and friendly staff
The staff was nice except for housekeeping. The location was nice. Parking was good. Housekeeping staff were rude. The pool was dirty, the rooms are poorly ventilated. Woke up and everything in the room was damp. The carpets in the room were nasty and stained. The staff started vacuuming the hallways at 9:30 at night while my kids were sleeping. The kiddy pool tile was crumbling.
Clean, friendly. I was happy with our stay. There wasn't any continental breakfast available...
I thought that the facility was clean and comfortable. Staff that we encountered were all pleasant. We visited during remodeling so check-in was a bit odd. I also thought the shuttle service was a bit weak. There are so many places to travel in San Antonio that market square seems like an irrelevant spot to travel too being that it is only 2 blocks away.
The staff was friendly and very helpful Internet was difficult to login to and wasn't a very good connection
Close to downtown Internet connection was terrible. Mold coming out of our AC. No ice machine on our floor. Carpets were dirty. Bed was not so comfy.
Free parking and shuttle service were very pleasant surprises based on previous stays in San Antonio. Loooong walk to our room
Bed&linens were very clean and comfy. 4 pillows per bed! The staff was friendly from the front desk, to restaurant, to the maintenance guy who brought us pool towels. I was traveling my myself but had a couple friends visit to use the pool and it was great. Lots of families, but quiet rooms can't hear other guests Hot tub bubbles were broken.
Long check in
Nice rooms that appear to be recently remodeled. Great full breakfast every morning. Very centrally located close to The Alamo and Riverwalk. Staff are very kind and helpful too. $25 parking charge per night
This is the second time I have chosen the Crockett hotel. It is a historic 7 story hotel. The hotel has been remodeled with fresh updated fixtures and appliances. These rooms are huge. You could do gymnastics in them. The staff is super friendly and actually happy to see you. Breakfast is typical eggs, waffels and such. The location is why you want stay here but the staff and hotel is why you will be back.
-Rich with history and dedication to preserving it -Location is great!!!!! Easy walk to the Riverwalk, Alamo Plaza and Bonham Exchange -Spacious room -Front desk staff was competent -Room was clean -Valet Car retrieval was quick, about 3 minutes each time -Free continental breakfast -Front desk staff didn't seem welcoming -Price doesn't seem to comparable to room quality, but I think you pay for the location and history -Valet wasn't always readily available to take keys after already checking vehicle in -Parking around or near hotel is difficult and valet is $24/night -Sound traveled heavily from hallway into the room, not sure if it's because we were by the elevator Regardless of this, definitely worth a stay!!!!!
No mini bar or microwave. No room service. Pictures were deceiving. Not worth the money for one night. Also, charging your guests for parking is ridiculous since they already have to pay to park everywhere in San Antonio.
Location, price, staff
The staff was very friendly
Location was great. Staff was attentive. Spending time at the bar was a good day to end the day.
Good location - good breakfast - next to the Alamo - Front desk staff was very friendly. fine for a long weekend for two adults but leave the children home out dated - $24 daily parking fee - Postage size swimming pool with limited deck for sitting right by the main driveway.- non English speaking staff couldn't understand my question, so I needed to go to the front desk.
The hotel is a nice combination of modern and heritage. The location is perfect. Breakfast is far better than most. The rooms are a little tight but due to the age of the hotel this is to be expected. I'd like to see some potatoes at the breakfast.
I have usually stayed at the Menger Hotel as I like the old fashioned ambiance of vintage hotels. I also love drinking in the Menger Bar where Teddy Roosevelt recruited his Rough Riders. The Crockett is right next door and has pretty much the same ambiance as the Menger but at almost half the price! I will be staying here from now on.
convenient as far as location and accessability to San Antonio "highlights". beautiful, historic. Great staff for the most part. because there was no gym/work out facilities on sight and the pool was out of commission during our stay, Crockett did direct and make it possible for us with a nearby facility/hotel. we noticed when we were going to use a couple of glasses in our room for water/soda...that the "old" glasses were what we had to use and that the liquid from the previous night wasn't even emptied by the housekeeper that day...unfortunate...made us question whether the room was cleaned more than just make the bed...
Ernie's bar right in the hotel - great happy hour, very relaxed bar. good breakfast at the hotel every morning, staff very friendly, rooms nice and clean.
Everything was great. The staff are all amazing and go above and beyond to make your stay even better. I will definitely be coming back. The only thing that was annoying was how exspensive the things were in your room mini bar.
Staff was unprofessional. Check in was at 3, we got there at 7 and the room still wasnt ready. While we waited for 45 minutes we had to get dressed in the public restroom and my girlfriend had to straighten her hair in the hallway because there was no outlets in the restroom. After we finally got our room we had to rush to the spurs gsme that we had planned and ended up missing the first quarter all because of the staff at the hotel. We decided to switch hotels the next day. Other than that the hotel was really nice looking.
Bed was comfortable Bed corners are very dangerous, I end up with bruises because bed woods expand from mattress and you can hit your legs easily unless you are very careful. I had the opportunity to talk to other guests and they complain about the same dangerous corners. Bathroom have to many gabs on counter and your personal products can fall while cleaning is happening and you will never find them. If your leave something you have to go to a website to file lost and found. That is very far from what is the main reason of hotels, customer service...... Very poor in that part. Most rooms the city view is the windows of the next building.
We waited 30 minutes for our car after check out. CALL AHEAD...way ahead!
We have traveled often and frequently. We arrived and found that the best service, ambience, and dining was apparent. Our room was perfect, room for our luggage, etc. Can't wait to return.
The staff and the place are great !
We really appreciated the location of the hotel, it was really convenient in that sense, it was within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The staff was also really friendly. Almost everything was perfect, but it would have been nice to have a mini fridge in the room to store our own food and drinks. Also one of our beds was squeaky and that made it uncomfortable to sleep on so better beds would have been nice.
The location, the staff, the great breakfast, and comfy room Nothing
The construction limited the entrance to a single, slow, temporary, small elevator to the check-in counter on the second story. Hotel services were limited to a makeshift bar and restaurant.
Location was great Kind of dark interior needs brightening.
I liked the friendliness of the staff, the attentiveness of the staff always willing to help. Hilda the housekeeper kept the room cleanliness very well and orderly. I am happy with my experience. It was a great location right on the river walk.
Great location since we could walk a block and a half to the majestic theater. Beautiful room, nice view, but the restaurant was closed for dinner and the breakfast was $63 dollars.

Room, location, close to activities All good
The room was over priced . The a/c didn't work well in the room. The hotel charge me $75 each day without telling me for incidentals , that I didn't even use . I won't be back
Beautiful room friendly staff
Great Stay! Room was clean, spacious, and beds were comfortable.
Overall clean Downtown and river walk location. Valet parking should be part of the overall expense. Coffee machine wasn't maintained. Mini bar wasn't inexistent however an offer sheet is advertised.
We enjoyed everything about our stay. The hotel is beautiful, and our room was wonderful. The service was great, and overall the hotel met all of my expectations.
Yes The view
Excellent hotel with a nice view of the Riverwalk. The room and restaurant were first class and the staff was very helpful. Well worth the money The only problem we saw was around the pool where there was debris and refuse but there were also a lot of inebriated people there when we got there which might account for stuff on the ground and in the pool.
The view and customer service was great! No microwave or fridge. Not very clean. Found hair on our beds and some towels. Mold in shower and in sink.
Clean updated rooms. Bathrooms could use to be renovated some. Or at least clean the tile
I didn't know that when we made our reservation that we had been sent to a third party site. My fiancé had an emergency at work and we needed to reschedule. The hotel was fine with it, but it had to be done through the booking site . Unfortunately the booking site wouldn't allow it. We lost our money I will never book a hotel with kayak again. Nothing
Location to riverwalk Cleanliness of the room was disappointing
Location - location - location - right on the Riverwalk. Conference facility was well laid out and easy to navigate and handled our 300 attendees well. Concierge was very nice and helpful, as was transportation staff. Food was above average, especially a lunch that was part of our conference. Had a billing problem that hotel desk staff (including manager) seemed unwilling/unable to resolve. Problem rested with the hotel, but I had to go to our conference coordinator to finally take care of it. Unnecessary run around that should have been quickly resolved. Room WiFi normally requires extra fee ($9.95/day). Only free in the lobby. Luckily, my conference arranged free WiFi for attendees. Seems a poor method of getting a little more money out of a guest.
We only stayed for one night so this was perfect. I like how they had an option for gel body wash instead of the bar soap that leaves your skin feeling kind of tight. I like how the valet guy suggested we park for free on the street instead of spending money on valet since we would be there for one night. That was really helpful and he seemed to genuinely care for us to save $$$! We are a young couple and brought our 5 year old so every bit counts. The walk from the boardwalk was only about 10-15 minutes but still fairly close to the hotel. We came earlier than our check in and when I asked the front desk if our room was ready so we could possibly check in early she seemed to have kind of an attitude. We mainly came out to swim and when we went swimming the bottom of the pool felt as if it were coming up? Like as if there was a film covering the pool which was kind of interesting. While in the hot tub there was a couple smoking pot which was not okay, seeing that there were children and families everywhere. When the staff came out to check it out he did not do anything or tell them anything. The couple had thrown whatever they were smoking off the roof so they weren't caught with it but it was fairly obvious that they were smoking. I thought that they would've handled it differently but the staff member seemed okay with the situations and even told the other staff me ever that everything was okay....when that was definitely not.
The people working on cleanup (Maid) she make A really good job Just one people working on that the front desk she look so happy on she jop look
The view was amazing and the room was very clean and home like The location was a little sketchy the hidden room fees and they gave us a different room than what we originally booked we booked a deluxe suit and the hotel just gave us a random room and said they did not receive our reservations even tho we booked weeks in advance.
The room was nice and clean and we had a view of the riverwalk from the room. Wifi was free, not all hotels in the area offer free WiFi. The wait for the elevators at checkout time were intense. We were on the 20th floor and ended up taking the stairs all the way down bc the elevator was full every single time it came to our floor.
Valet was wonderful, staff was very friendly. Easy to get in/out of hotel. "River Walk" entertainment area was within 10 minutes. The river walk portion it is close to is far from the "River Walk" entertainment district. Room had black hair on the ceiling in the bathroom.
The breakfast buffet was an outstanding value. Great fresh food options and really fresh fruit! First room had a strong Lysol-like odor. They easily and immediately changed my room.
Great location The bed was uncomfortable. I got a discounted rate thru booking.com and still paid too much for this room. The bed was hard and creaked. I would expect this at a cheaper destination but for $190+ per night this is just unacceptable. Also, who charges $30 a night plus tax for parking? IN SAN ANTONIO?? Who are you trying to fool? We know space is not this much of a commodity. Felt ripped off. Will absolutely not stay here again, and I'm definitely avoiding the Wyndham name in the future.
Everything I think the parking at $30 a night is a little too pricey.
Location, location, and location! Hotel is right across the Alamo with plenty of cheap public parking around the area. Also, the warm chocolate chips cookies from the front desk are a plus. Outdated hotel facility and Kayak's incorrectly rated hotel stars do not match the overpriced money for my stay.
Great location. Comfortable view. Parking was difficult. I wish the stay came with parking instead of having to use valet. I had to pay for valet and to park right outside each day as I have to have quick access to my car. Although it was a nice hotel, I won't be staying here again.
Although I was stuck with the smallest room they have it was still cozy and comfortable. Also they were also low staffed but despite that they were still friendly. I thought the valet was overpriced and they should at least allow one free parking per reservation
Valet was $35 ...should have been included with hotel
This hotel was very nice! Our room was ready when expected and they placed us with a corner room with a great view, for no extra cost. Staff were great and the check in/check out process was so simple! The location could not have been better for the main attractions, such as the Alamo and Riverwalk. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
Cookie!!!! Wife liked cookie!!! It was a very nice experience me an my wife enjoyed it greatly No microwave in rooms or fridge.
The location was great. Short walk to the convention center, riverwalk, alamo. The staff was also very friendly and nice. The building is old and the rooms show it. My first night there was a some fan, or machinery noise that made it impossible to sleep. I was able to switch rooms that night which was nice. One morning I had no hot water. The staff listened, but didn't seem concerned about it. I only had one breakfast at the hotel restaurant, but it was quite underwhelming and definitely not worth paying for.
Location is great right in the heart of San Antonio next to the Alamo. Room was clean but very small. Trying to reach front desk and room service repeatedly at night and no answer. Finally answer and the late night food was just quickie microwaved crap. We couldn't even eat it.
Was impressed by everything... I think I heard some unexplainable noises during the night ... Nice location
The view from the room was fantastic! The location is also great! The room felt like it needed to be steam cleaned with bleach... The room appeared to be updated sometime in the early 2000. But has not been maintained well. The bed was as hard as the floor. The shower head was loose and the bathroom smelled of old urine. We ordered Breakfast to our room the first morning. The breakfast was good and when we where ready to leave for the day I called to let the staff know so they could come up and clean our room. We where gone the entire day and come back to the same mess we left that morning... At 250 a night plus 30 a night valet parking This should have never happened. That night I went to drink a water bottle the staff provides for you in the room and there was no seal on the lid on either bottle. The cleaning person didn't even bother to change our water bottles. just filled them up with tap water and called it a day. If you are looking for a clean room with basic hotel services I would look past this place!!
Location Could not think of anything we did not like
The beds were very comfortable, and the view was great Air conditioner dripped a puddle onto the floor, and 25 bucks a day to park my own car... just to have trees drop berries all over it that stank so bad... then birds eat them and poop all over the car too. I got to drive away angry after a relaxing weekend.
Valet, Joe, was very helpful and friendly.
the location 1. the 25usd/day for parking 2. the parking fee announced upon check out only 3. the not very pet-friendly 4. the state of the room
I loved everything but most of all the valet Chris who took such good care of two old women...his mother would be so proud of him. Please if you can tell him Mrs. Whitehead and Mrs. Nall so appreciate all he did for us.
Perfect accommodations close to the river walk! Breakfast down at the Market can get pretty pricey for a family larger than 2.
Well pleased, true professionals all around.
Loved the look, location, and luxurious feel. My kids kept talking about the "fancy" hotel they were staying at! Parking. I'm not a fan of having to pay for parking, but it seems inevitable in downtown San Antonio.
liked the location, liked the staff parking attendant, bell hop The air conditioner thermostat had a loud click then the fan noisily came on for about 30 seconds all day and night. the t.v. remote was not user friendly. It took about 5 minutes of running the water before there was any hot water.
Nice dowtown location, close to the riverwalk. Room and bathroom was very small.
The pool was not clean and the jacuzzi was not working. That was very disappointing. We were on a short get a way and were expecting to enjoy that.
The staff was super friendly and very helpful.
Pool was a bit dirty
Parking fee.
We really loved the room and furniture. You can tell the hotel is very old, but they keep it up to date. The king sized bed was very comfortable and so were the pillows. Our room was very clean. There were only a few small things we didn't like. One was the air conditioner was awesome and kept the room cool, but it was very loud when it turned on. Woke me up a time or two. Also the valet is quite expensive, but that's expected down by the river walk.
$70 for overnight parking? In the same hotel you booked the rooms? That is ridiculously expensive.
The staff at the Gunter were extremely nice! They have the most comfortable bed ever!!!!! There bar is small, quiet, and cozzy and full of history. I can't wait to stay their again!
The staff was great. The rooms were clean. Even when house keeping forgot to clean our room twice, they sent someone over immediately to clean it up. The breakfast attendants were super friendly, especially Rudy. The breakfast could use better variety of fruit and swich the sausage with ham once in a while. The pool was so cold, I thought icebergs were forming.
Location Bathroom was filthy, the food in the restaurant was terrible
- At $230 a night it was a below average hotel.
access to the riverfront walk and nice pool area.
The location was near downtown SA and the accommodations suited our entire needs. I had to get accustomed to the pets/dogs barking and in such close proximity to us.
We were in town for the alamo bowl and caught the bus right down the street which worked out great due to traveling with 6-adults and 2- little kids Wish the price per room had been a little less - we paid $129/night x3 and some sort of "multi-room discount" would have been nice...but on the other hand, we did make our reservations within 2-weeks of a big holiday week event and were able to stay inside the loop downtown at a reasonable price - so I have little room to complain
The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet has many choices and was delicious! The staff was friendly and professional.
Location and attractive lodging. Did not have our reservation, thank goodness I had our confirmation # and papers with location since we were there for a "Bowl game weekend". They blamed the booking agency for not having our reservation. It appeared they were understaffed and was perhaps poorly managed.
everyone was so nice and helpfull. no
location was convient to areas we wanted to visit we had trouble getting towels
The bed was definitely big enough. Big room overall There were ants all over our room. At first it was two, I then started noticing them all over our room and a few in the bed the night before checkout. They were in the process of renovating the building, and failed to mention it when I called to confirm my room. Parking was horrible.
The location was very good to visit S.A. for the first time

Wanna Be A Victim? No Thanks.
I love music. From Tchaikovsky to T-Pain, my iPod has it all. I also love to sing. I'm not all that good at it, and my off-key crooning is usually confined to my shower or car, but nevertheless I enjoy it. It puts me in a good mood.
On my way home this afternoon, I was listening to my usual pre-set pop radio station when a relatively new song called Extraterrestrial by Katy Perry and Kanye West came on. I'd heard it before, but never paid much attention to anything other than the catchy beat. It wasn't until today that I realized what the lyrics were actually saying. For those of you who aren't fans of top-40 radio, here's a partial transcript. You can also listen to the song here…

Science sinks to new lows and that's a great thing for divers.
I'm Lucie McNeil and this is National Geographic On Assignment—your link to thousands of Nat Geo Explorers around the globe.
Today, we're off to the Bahamas Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
Deep water coral reefs are a new frontier in ocean exploration.  But until now, the complexities of working at water depths of more than 250 feet made studying there extremely difficult.
National Geographic's Mike Lombardi has invented a portable dive habitat that helps scientists work at these depths.
Humans have to endure long decompression delays as they surface—for their bodies to adjust to the changing water pressures.
Mike's habitat eases these tedious wait times by allowing divers to take off their masks, stay warm and even eat.
Easier decompressions means divers can stay at depth longer, giving them more time to study and explore.
That's National Geographic On Assignment—your link to our Explorers.

I'm trying to setup a 2GB Cruzer to multi boot the following:
BT3 Final,
WinPE 2.0
And possibly some other variations on the PE/RE side of things.
I'm having great difficulty understanding how the Boot manager works for the USB install. It appears to me to have references to 3 different boot loaders...and I'm not sure I'm config'ing the right one.
I've had a go at tweaking Syslinux, but to no avail. Now that could be because I'm not pointing it to the right part of WinPE, but if anyone has ANY experience with creating a multiboot USB thumb drive with BT3 I'd love to hear your story.
I don't mind installing a seperate boot loader, like Syslinux on it's own, but it would appear I shouldn't need to bother.
Any help you'd be able to give me would be well recieved.
I know it sounds pathetic in this forum, but I've got a little bit of experience with Ubunutu and GRUB, but none with LiLo or Syslinux.
I am, however, quite keen to learn and grow into it

I've been reviewing applications of pentesting tools and PDAs (PacketPC, Nokia, Treo, etc) and was wondering what everyone thought, if it is even feasible at this stage in development, ov having BT3 on say....the Nokia 770?
Portable pentesting anyone???
Feel free to run wild with this, I'm trying to get different perspectives on this type of application....

Personally i think the iphone's going to take it, not now, but soon! ..... I think once a skilled koder gets his hand's on the SDK, maybe write up something that will allow say BT3 on it, then after that i'm sure SOMEONE would make an injection patch for the 802.11 drivers on the iphone and so on. ....... with all of it's functions and 8 or 16 GIGS, there's an unlimited amount of potential here! ...(just what i think)

Elvis Presley's Last Performances to be Auctioned Off
The last performances of Elvis Presley are going on the auction block. There are 27 songs and four-and-a-half hours of professionally filmed concert footage. Also included is backstage footage with Elvis, girlfriend Ginger Allen, and his dad, Vernon Presley.
Elvis expert Alanna Nash tells Billboard, "It was shot on Elvis' final tour for a one-hour CBS-TV special, Elvis in Concert...The special, which aired two months after Presley's death in August 1977, was immediately controversial, mostly for the ethics of shining the spotlight on a man so shaky and obviously ill, whose performances ranged wildly from embarrassing and sad to brilliant and triumphant."
The footage is not for reproduction, broadcast, or publication. But, it is valuable to Elvis fans because it would, "Be integral to those intent on deciphering the last days of a once and future king."

LONG BEACH - For the first time in its 29-year history, a real queen will be attending the Long Beach Pride Celebration.
Hip-hop royalty Queen Latifah will headline the two-day festival May 19.
It's her first performance ever at a gay pride festival, and Long Beach Pride organizers are tickled pink.
"For Queen Latifah to make her worldwide pride debut here in Long Beach is a tremendous testament to the popularity of our celebration and the strength of our community," said Pride co-President Pat Crosby. "Long Beach Pride is becoming an iconic event in the United States."
The 42-year-old Grammy Award winner's appearance is a feather in Long Beach Pride's cap.
The festival and parade is the city's second largest event, drawing about 75,000 revelers over two days.
The event also is an economic engine for the city, generating almost $10 million for the local economy, according to a 2004 economic impact study done by Pride organizers.
On May 20, an estimated 30,000 people will line Ocean Boulevard under waving rainbow flags and watch the Long Beach Pride Parade march from Redondo Avenue to Alamitos Avenue.
"Million Dollar Listing" personality Josh Flagg and his boyfriend, Colton Thorn, are the grand marshals. Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Center President and board Chair Ron Sylvester and Long Beach Deputy Police Chief Laura Farinella are the community grand marshals. Redondo Beach Mayor Michael A. Gin is the Morris Kight Political Grand Marshal, and Rene Castro is the Whitey Littlefield Bridge Builder.
Following the afternoon parade, several thousand more people will make their way to the Pride Festival along Shoreline Drive at Marina Green Park and Rainbow Lagoon.
Inside the festival grounds vendors and information booths and five entertainment stages will be set up.
The gospel and transgender awareness stages are combined into the main stage, where Latifah will headline Saturday night. But Pride organizers are warning Latifah fans to arrive early.
"Some fans might think they can arrive an hour before she goes on at 8:30 p.m., but if people try that, they won't find a seat," Crosby said. "They should arrive several hours early, enjoy the festival and then go over and find a seat."
The main stage on Saturday also will feature a panel discussion on transgender issues and the Unity Fellowship of Christ Church.
Next Sunday's main stage attractions include Jeanie Tracy, Blackbox, Thea Austin, Shannon, Evelyn Champagne King and the Village People.
DJs will spin hip-hop at the urban stage, and the country-western stage will offer line dancing.
The Fiesta Caliente Latin stage will have a variety of DJs playing salsa, cumbia and Spanish pop music in addition to live performances by Diego Schoening (Mexican pop group Timbiriche), the original Cover Girls and Lucia Mendez.
The dance stage will let party people shake their groove thing to the turntable talents of several area DJs, including the Perry Twins.

Continuing a theme of boldly going where no previous ownership has gone before, the Dodgers are close to a deal where they would launch their own channel in a partnership with Time Warner Cable starting in 2014.
Neither the Dodgers nor Time Warner Cable confirmed several stories that insisted a deal has finally been agreed upon Tuesday and could be announced Thursday.
Bloomberg News was the first to announce the projected arrangement between the Guggenheim Baseball Management and the cable giant.
If rumors hold that the deal in the $8 billion range covering 25 years is accurate, it would make it the most expensive local TV deal in history.
It would also give Southern California viewers six sports regional networks and likely forcing them to pay three times as much as they had before for the same content.
One element in delaying this announcement officially might be that current rights holders, Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket, have a chance to match the offer, depending on how it is structured.
Fox Sports West, which created its second FSW channel in 1997 to accommodate an extended Dodgers schedule of games, had a reported $6 billion, 25-year deal on the table in late November, which, in addition to the straight TV rights, included giving the Dodgers partial ownership of the channel.
After those talks extended past Fox's exclusive window, it allowed Time Warner Cable to jump in and begin negotiations on several different business models.
According to the Sports Business Daily, Fox/Prime Ticket has certain "back-end rights" that might allow it to match any Time Warner offer "depending on the specifics of the (new) contract."
A source told SBD that one of the holdups in the Dodgers and TWC finalizing any arrangement last week was "trying to craft a deal that would get around Fox's right to match." The SBD report said Fox could match "a straight rights deal, or any deal that gives TWC an equity interest in a new channel. Matching rights would not kick in if the Dodgers launch a channel on their own and get TWC to agree to carry it with no equity stake."
The Guggenheim Partners' decision to go ahead and launch their own channel, with the assistance of Dick Clark Productions providing content to surround the channel with programming, would be one way to circumvent that kind of provision.
Fox spokespeople had no comment to offer as well on how they stand in the negotiations.
This arrangement would give the Dodgers a long-term business model that is along the lines of what the New York Yankees did with the launch of their own YES network some 10 years ago. Rather than take any short-term cash benefits from signing a deal with a local cable operator, the Yankees went on their own and started their own channel, absorbed a couple years of losses at the start, but have built the brand to where Fox's parent company, News Corp., spent $500 million on a 49 percent share of YES, which will eventually boost the channel's value to nearly $4 billion.
In the end, Fox's aggressiveness in buying the shares of YES was in case the Dodgers' extension with FSW/Prime didn't happen.
Before any kind of TV deal is approved, the Dodgers have known there could be layers of red tape to delay the proceedings, even though it will take effect this upcoming season, the last of Prime Ticket's current 12-year contract.
For one, Major League Baseball might have issues with how much of the new contract can be applied to payroll and how much would have to be shared. The Dodgers have been led to believe they will get a greater share based on parameters set in the recent bankruptcy sale. A bankruptcy judge might have to examine any new TV deal as well before it is approved.
From a distribution standpoint, the Dodgers would be taking on a far greater risk in starting and running their own channel beyond TWC's help and its more than 2 million Southern California customers.
Competing cable and dish systems are already feeling pinched by rising sports-rights fees and trying to create more channel space on sports tiers.
TWC would be the anchor of this new Dodger channel and provide plenty of cross promotion with its own TWC SportsNet and Deportes channels created specifically for the Lakers. But as TWC found out, there was plenty of pushback from distributors when it launched its two-channel package in October leading up to the start of the Lakers season - mostly because of the high-end $3.95 price tag per subscriber per month.
DirecTV, for example, didn't get on board with it until the middle of November. Dish Network has yet to sign on.
Also competing for customer dollars are the new Pac-12 Networks (still not on DirecTV) and what's left of Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket.
The Dodgers' defection would also be another huge blow to Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket, having lost both its anchor tenants and key programming providers in the matter of two seasons. There is no indication that Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket would merge back into one channel as it carries the NHL's Kings and Ducks in addition to the NBA's Clippers in the winter months, but has only the Angels as its primary focus in the spring and summer.

PHOTO: Jhene Aiko makes a splash & covers 'Complex' magazine
Listen to Jhene Aiko on iHeartRadio
You may know her from the infectious Drake duet, "From Time" (off of his Nothing Was The Same album) or been a long time fan since her Sailing Souls mixtape release in 2011.
Either way, Jhene Aiko is here and making a splash. The singer/songwriter covers the April/May 2014 issue of Complex magazine where tells her back story of being signed, being dropped and how being your girlfriend means she's practicing to be your wife.
The petite multi racial beauty headed to Jamaica to shoot her first Complex cover story with photographer Marcus Hype at Rockhouse in Negril. Her heavily anticipated album, Sailed Out, drops later on in 2014. But for now, take a look at Jhene in chic swimsuits making us anxious for summer. Check out the entire cover story on Complex.com.

Did you know?
Lookout Hill is a great place to start your tour of Khayelitsha.
There's only one township in South Africa that can claim to have been the subject of a Bizet operatic adaptation: Khayelitsha, near Cape Town.
And when you're motoring down Baden Powell Drive (the R310) in Cape Town and you come into view of a great sea of shacks on the right, just slow down for a minute and feel the throb of one of South Africa's most vibrant townships.
It would, however, be a safer and far more rewarding to sign on for a formal township tour of Khayelitsha ('new home' in isiXhosa), for a taste of day-to-day community life.
Built in the early 1980s on the Cape Flats about 20 minutes' drive from the Cape Town CBD, Khayelitsha is a bustling mix of township 'box houses' and makeshift shacklands that regularly fall prey to wildfires and flooding, as the notorious Cape storms lash the coastline.
The township, which houses more than 500 000 people, came sharply into world focus in the mid-2000s when U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha, based on Bizet's opera Carmen, was filmed here.
U-Carmen won the prestigious Golden Bear for Best Film award at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival and shone later at the Cannes Film Festival. This innovative, passionate isiXhosa interpretation of the famous opera had Khayelitsha's sprawl for a backdrop. Even the star of the show, Pauline Malefane, was a 'home girl' from Khayelitsha.
It has since been the backdrop in Hollywood films like Safe House and Dredd.

Seal Beach residents - many opposed to plans to widen the San Diego (405) Freeway - have an ally in Long Beach 4th District City Councilman Patrick O'Donnell, who shares their concerns.
O'Donnell, a member of the Gateway Council of Governments, has lined up 27 other cities that oppose the plans by the Orange County Transportation Authority.
The OCTA project would stop at the border of Los Angeles and Orange counties - with traffic on the expanded, improved freeway then squeezing into fewer lanes on the 405 and San Gabriel (605) freeways in the Long Beach area.
O'Donnell and Seal Beach critics predict, among other things, a massive traffic bottleneck.
"The result is going to be negative," O'Donnell said Thursday. "It's going to impact Long Beach."
Among the councilman's complaints about the OCTA project is its alleged failure to include East Long Beach freeways in the environmental impact report.
Concerns raised from the public sector will be addressed by OCTA. The draft environmental report is being circulated until Tuesday, a spokesman said.
Boeing volunteers help
Boeing's largest concentration of employee volunteers will be at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station on Saturday, with several other Southland sites also benefiting from the company's Global Day of Service.
About 300 employee volunteers - from a force of more than 1,000 - will partner with nonprofit organizations in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, supporting a variety of projects, from feeding the homeless to trash pickup on area beaches.
Boeing's Global Day of Service was launched on July 17, 2010, to commemorate the company's founding in 1916.
Boeing California employees will join thousands of other employee volunteers and their families and friends around the world on the same day with the hope of making a positive difference, company officials said.
At the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, the Boeing volunteers will join Navy personnel and members of Save Our Beach to remove trash at the Navy beach from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Among the other projects, about 100 volunteers will join the native plant restoration project at El Dorado Nature Center, 7550 E. Spring St., Long Beach, from 9a.m. to 1 p.m.
The volunteers will plant native plants and mulch. The center is taking steps to help rebuild the natural habitat of the area through native plants and the removal of invasive plants.
About 100 volunteers will also pitch in from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Long Beach Community Action Partnership, 3012 Long Beach Blvd., Long Beach.
They will help build a chicken coop and plant trees in the garden that provides low-income families with fresh food.
Other employee volunteers will also join the environmental preservation project at Angeles Forest Trail and at the Strawberry Creek Trails in Angeles National Forest.
A beach cleanup will be held at 62nd and Pacific avenues in Playa del Rey.
In San Pedro, about 150 volunteers will be involved in a project to feed the homeless at the Midnight Mission, 601 S. San Pedro St., from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Along with serving meals, the volunteers will provide hygiene kits and distribute clothing.

Yarn Along
This has been a good knitting and crocheting week for me.
finished the hat I started last week, (also, as I typed that sentence just now I got this in my head ) and I have made some good progress on the matching sweater for She-Who-Has-Not-Been-Named, and I also have been working on a crocheted rag-rug project with my daughter.
It started out as a pile of t-shirts, but now it's a fun rainbow-y rug-to-be!
Can you tell it's been kind of cloudy and grey here lately? lots of colors coming from those needles of mine :)
This week I started reading Treasure Island, but I got about as far as I did the last time I tried to read it, when I was in High School, which is about 3 pages.
There's been a lot of late-night belly dancing from a certain Threetus the Fetus, and so I am waking up in the morning not feeling all that rested.
This has the cascading effect of the kids being sent to school without a home lunch most days (the lunches at school are much healthier than when I was a kid) and also I don't really have the attention span for reading.
It is an interesting story, though, so I'll sally forth.
What's on your needles/hooks/nightstand this week?

Love the rainbow rug! We have a few rag rugs I crocheted in my house, and I'm saving up t-shirts right now to make one for my brother's house, because he requested one (if I really get on the ball, I might manage to finish it for his birthday . . . in December.).

"Small Anti Bac Gloves (size 7)"
Mrs Elliott
08 May 2015
I have used many types of utility gloves in my 69 years of life --- and NONE compare to these gloves. They are strong and last for such a long time--- I have a relatively small/ wide hand and they are the most comfortable & serviceable glove I have ever used--- I had to look up on the internet as to where I had acquired them from & I am now delighted to be able to re-stock---I am still a practising Physio & need good hand quality after domestic work---which these gloves deliver (I even use them for gardening!) Excellent.

Wife and Daughter Want to Get Started
Aloha! My wife and daughter have taken an interest in archery. In trying to keep everything at a reasonable cost, I've been offered to buy a used Hoyt Kbow and a Heritage Buckeye.
I've found some info and prices on the Buckeye, but can't find anything on this Hoyt Kbow. Anyone heard of this recurve? Is it obsolete/discontinued? Any good for a starter bow?
I also scored a Martin Gazelle for a compound, but my 8 yr. old daughter can't handle the draw weight. I think it's set a 35 lbs. The other recurves are 26 lbs. and 20 lbs., respectively. I'm pretty sure my wife and daughter can handle the Heritage, but just want to know more about that Kbow. The seller has both of them and I figure might as well make it a package deal.
Oh, our daughter is now taking lessons through the C&C Parks and Recs program. She's caught on pretty quick.
Any help is much appreciated.
Welcome or should I say Aloha,
The only thing I can find on the K-bow is it's a takedown recurve made in Korea...
Should be a great first bow in my opinion.
My wife and two daughters are also just getting started.
I shoot traditional longbow, but I am starting them on compounds set low #age and shorter distance, till they build up arm strength. It really doesn't matter what they start with as long as it is safe, and isn't cr@p and causes frustration.
BTW, popping balloons is great fun and good practice.

Thank y'all for that input and welcome. I'll probably go for it and make that "seller" an offer for both bows and whatever arrows they have. As for the compound, I'm going to fidget with the draw weight to see if I can get it down to 25 lbs. It's supposed to be the minimum for this particular bow.
From your input, I really can't go wrong with what I've been offered and already have. From what I've found so far, none are cheapy equipment and should work well for entry level archery.
Thanks a bunch.

In the beginning
I don't know of the bow you are speaking of but. I started my boys out with genisis pro. The one thing I can say is when the boys start complaining about the bow not being accurate. I'll grab it and show them the bow isn't the problem. keep working the form. Its one thing to talk about shooting but when they see it the talking is over. These genisis pro's are good starter bows and wish I had something like this when I was young. I was recurve and later jennings lightning for my first compound. The genisis pro can be shot by little people and big. I have a 30" draw on fingers. One boy shot fingers and the other had release. I had to teach both the basics. Now these same bows are teaching my brothers young boys. Also started my sisters son into archery with these bows. All these kids know is these are uncle rob's bows to help teach them how to shoot. I told them once they learn the basics and get accurate we'll get them their own bow. My sisters son took about a year to get accurate and focused. Young and impatient. He just knows my bow is fast and accurate and lots of practice.

Thanks guys. Here's what I decided to settle on. I just made "friends" at our one and only archery store and I'll be taking in that Gazelle to have a rest and sights installed properly and have that draw weight adjusted. I'm also going to pick up the PSE Buckeye recurve from a seller. This one has a 20# draw weight and my daughter doesn't seem to have any problems with that. These also come with interchangeable limbs so she can "grow" into it. Most of the highschool archery clubs are using these now. The down side is they told us PSE is going to discontinue the interchangeable system so I gotta get off my butt and start ordering those extra limbs.
We did check out our local archery range. It ain't pretty, but the daughter was excited as all get out to get started. Felt bad we hadn't brought the equipment with us, thinking we were only going to see what kind of set up they had. She did end up making friends with one of the old timers, though. Talked his ear off. Will be taking her out this coming week, though.

New Times Dirty 6 Mud Run is… 13 obstacles, BBQ, beer and, oh yeah, group outdoor showers!
It is a biannual event that has three courses, including:
- a 6 mile, 3 mile and Kids 1K run riddled with obstacles,
- a wall of water,
- two river crossings,
- a down-and-dirty mud crawl,
- obstacle course,
- giant slip 'n slides and, of course, a dip in a HUGE mud pit on your way to the finish.
At the end of the run, you are encouraged to donate your dirty, muddy shoes to the homeless and shoeless.
My group met at Rawhide at 7 a.m. and hung out until 9 a.m. to begin the race. Our group started in wave 1, which is the ultra competitive group. Of course I am not a runner, but my plan was that the fast guys would be past all the obstacles by the time I got there. It worked. Most of the obstacles had only a few or no people present. Because I do a lot of canyoneering, I felt that the obstacles were fairly easy.
A few aspects of the race were done well, including plenty of parking space, the option to donate your shoes, a nice grassy area to sit and wait, free water and Powerade and a party-like atmosphere with a live band.
However, a couple of things could have been improved, including starting the race on time; it started 10 minutes late, both the 6-mile and the kid's races. The race also could have offered more obstacles; it was too easy for my 8-year-old son. While the Mud Run could have been organized a bit better, it was still fun and a great workout.
There is another one in September. Visit New Times Dirty 6 Mud Run's website to register.

As I Lay Dying frontman arrested in murder-for-hire plot
Listen to As I Lay Dying on iHeartRadio
As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis is in police custody for allegedly plotting to have his estranged wife killed. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department says Lambesis was arrested in Oceanside, California Tuesday after supposedly seeking out the help of someone who turned out to be an undercover detective in the murder-for-hire plot.
Police say they learned late last week that Lambesis was looking for someone to commit the murder, and acted quickly in hopes that they could avert a "great tragedy." Lambesis is expected to be back in court either Wednesday or Thursday.
As I Lay Dying just wrapped a tour through Asia on Monday and were scheduled to start a U.S. trek later this month.
So far, no one from the band or their label has commented on Lambesis' arrest.

text: This cake is 40+ years old and had lost all the scent of tea. This shows good aging in a good environement. This tea is similiar to the famous Blue label editions of the 1950's. The taste is light and the brew is amber brown and almost sparkles. The leaves come from the Dai district (where the Blue label was also picked). The processing and compression, though, were in Guang Dong. This was the practice during the Cultural Revolution and it has made this a famous tea. We are happy to offer this fine antique cake. There are no wrappers on this tea, as they were produced with no wrappers, only the inner label with the well known tea TM. Made from 3-4 grade leaves which exhibit a deep brown color, even after many steeps. Weighs about 340 g and makes about 75 servings of this coveted tea.
