Reviews
"It's amazing to step back into the past and see what life in San Antonio was!"
"I left the Palace very much confused by what I saw. I think that there is little left of the original 1700s Palace but I’m not sure. There were additions and restorations up through the 1930s. The furnishings all seem to be Spanish colonial of the 1700s so if you do visit just drink it in and don’t worry about the history. Not that much history is provided."
"No wait (or any other visitor) on a rainy weekday. Surprised to see the garbage covered in trash bags and workers in it while the place is open to the public. Building of very local interest with a self guided tour. There is potential but at present it's got the vibes of a small village museum where school kids would be taken. It's ok for what it is, but it would need some investment and a professionally managed collection instead of just a bunch of rooms with some period pieces scattered around."
"Beautiful place for a nice quaint cocktail hour/ wedding reception. (If your having a big wedding party not really the place for you) The evening was very elegant and perfect weather for my friends wedding reception. I did hear from them that the place has lots of "rules" to abide by and you aren't allowed in until a certain time to set up, which could be a game changer for some weddings but luckily they did have an hour before the wedding to set up and it looked perfect! If you have the right centerpieces, flowers and decor like they did your going to have a beautiful reception. The only drawbacks I saw were the bathrooms were one person at a time and no mirrors and the walkway pavements were very uneven! Definitely a walking hazard in some places. But it's truly a charming place and it has great atmosphere for the evening!! Once the flowers were placed and the candles lit with Beautiful music in the air and everyone in formal attire, the evening was made very elegant and classy."
