Charming Historic Rooms

I spent only one night at Mansion Del Rio, and I was truly enchanted by the charm of my room. With high ceilings and antique decor, it felt as though I stepped back in time. I loved having a view of the river, complete with birds chirping in the trees outside my window. It made for a perfect backdrop to my stay!

Relaxing Common Areas

The common area of the hotel had such a cozy feel! I loved spending time in the vintage living room. It was a great spot to read or just relax in the ambiance of an old mansion. The historic decorations made it feel like you were in a museum, yet it was so welcoming to unwind.
