One flaw that bothered me.
The hotel is in an old building, but was completely refurbished. The lobby is very tiny, but the rooms are of adequate size. It is a short walk from the main attractions in downtown, and close enough that we were able to return to the room for jackets when it got dark, and not spend a great deal of time walking to the hotel. The biggest problem I had with this hotel was an extremely large gap where the door closed making it easily possible for someone outside to peer into the room. I don’t know if this was shoddy construction work or what, but I would think they would recognize when a door was not hung properly and left such a huge gap. Other than that, the hotel was not bad, but we will probably stay at one of the other hotels next time.

Great boutiuqe hotel with a good location
The hotel staff was friendly, room was comfy and clean, no problems on the trip. The hotel serves a modest, but tasty, breakfast in the lobby each morning. The location is very close to the Riverwalk (a couple blocks to Casa Rio) and other downtown locations. Limited parking is available at the hotel for a reasonable fee.
Go to Casa Rio restaurant on the Riverwalk. Great Mexican food at a reasonable price.

Not a luxury hotel
The O’Brian is billed as part of the Ascend Collections of Choice Hotels. This lifts the expectations somewhat, but even if those expectations had not been raised this hotel still would have had issues. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling off the wall and if you have physical limitations getting into the tub/shower may be difficult. The hotel was very noisy and several other guests that I did not know were very unsatisfied with the hotel.
Traveler's tip on dining
Casa Rio is very good
