We Stay at the Hotel Contessa - BEST Hotel on the Riverwalk?

In this video, we're in San Antonio, Texas to stay at the 4-Star Hotel Contessa, which is located right on the Riverwalk in the downtown area! In addition to a room tour, we also provide a look at the rooftop pool, Ambler restaurant and bar, and Inez's experience at The Spa at the Contessa. Overall, we enjoyed our stay on the Riverwalk, but we do think that the experience was a tad overpriced based on our experience. But what do you think? Have you stayed at the Hotel Contessa before? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Who are Josh and Inez?!

Josh is originally from the San Francisco, California area, though his family moved many times during his childhood (including to Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas). Inez was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. We found each other in 2016, after we both moved to the Austin, Texas area for college, and married in 2018! Inez worked in education and Josh in the legal field. We have since embraced our love of travel as a couple and we now seek to share those travels with you on YouTube!

While planning one of our recent trips, Josh found it difficult to locate resources that would provide a "real look inside" of certain hotels, restaurants, and unique experiences. Without this information, Josh found it difficult to know whether the hotels, restaurants, or experiences on his short list were "worth the money/effort" or whether the seemingly curated scraps of information he could find painted an unrealistic portrait of same. As a result, we started this travel channel so that we could share our travel experiences with you in order to provide you, our viewers, with that much coveted "real look inside." In doing so, we hope to answer any questions you may have regarding the hotels, restaurants, and experiences we feature on our channel, that way you can decide for yourself whether any of these places are worth your time or money when planning your own travels.

Our First Season creating YouTube videos was a learning experience as neither of us previously knew how to film or create videos. We are currently working on Season Two and we look forward to continuing to grow as creators and to continuing to provide others with helpful information that may help them in planning their own travels. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who watches, likes, and subscribes to our channel! We hope to continue to bring you new travel videos for years to come! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!
