The Nest doorbell blinks white when activity is detected.

Privately owned and operated! You'll enjoy our lux amenities and personal touches. (No third party owner or management.)

We are licensed by the City of San Antonio & Bexar County, which charges a Hotel Occupancy Tax. If you see added fees to your total, it's due to these mandatory taxes.

Government Hill is one of San Antonio's oldest neighborhoods. This tightly-knit community is close to EVERYTHING Downtown: Pearl, the Alamo, Riverwalk, Convention Center, San Antonio Zoo, Museums, Trinity University, UIW, Alamo Heights, the AT&T Center & more! It's less than 9 minutes to the Airport, without traffic.

It's integrally linked to Fort Sam Houston; in fact, you can often hear "Taps" from the front porch. Most Government Hill residents have owned their homes for generations; ours is the only rental on the block. The neighborhood is a mix of old historic mansions, newly updated homes (like ours), and some that are in need of TLC.

The Hot Tamale house was very comfortable and in a convenient location to get to the Pearl or downtown San Antonio. The house had everything we needed for our stay, allowing us to cook, barbecue, relax and play games with our family. Laura was great with communication and was very clear in the instructions.

The spot is centrally located, making it easy to get downtown, the Pearl, the airport, etc. The house well taken care of. Our family really enjoyed the games and toys, outdoor space, etc. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely done. For folks visiting San Antonio for vacation, highly recommend this house!

This was the perfect get-away for my family. Everything we needed was provided to have a comfortable care free time in San Antonio. Lots of games, inside and outside, swings in the shade and a layout that brings the family together. Laura was quick to answer questions and we felt so welcome. I would recommend the Hot Tamale to anyone looking for a clean and fun place to stay in San Antonio!
