| | RE San Antonio Hotel?? < on 3/30/2006 4:38 AM >
| | | Before I was really into UE I lived in San Antonio for a little while. I used to live right at the 410 and Perrin Bittel. There was this HUGE hotel less than a mile south of my place that looked as though it had been empty for quite some time. I always wanted to check it out closer but was worried about the "authorities" since I was there on a visitor vise. I just wondered if anyone had ever been able to check it out sice Id be interested to see some pics.

| | | I also used to live very near there but I don't recall ever seeing a large hotel sitting vacant. How long ago was this? Was it on Perrin Beitel? How big was it? I can't imagine it looking too old if it was in that area but I'd still be interested.

| | | It was on the couth side of loop 410, at the end of perrin bittel it turned came to a T intersection, you would have to make a right and it was like a mile or so down there. If I didnt have dial up I would use that satalite map deal to try to find it. It wasnt a really old place either I dont think. Looked like it mighta been built in the 1980's or so. It was BIG though, at least 6 or 7 stories, Il see if I can find anything on it. ***UPDATE*** Ok, so after looking at mapquest (man i cant even beleive I used to live there) Ive established that it was on the Austin Hwy. Im going to say it was right around Harry Wurzbach Rd., thats at leat the general area. I you drove from the 410 to "downtown" on Austin Hwy, you couldnt miss it. That is, if its still there. It wasnt looking the greatest when i lived there and its been a few years since then. http://www.mapques...&state=tx&zipcode= At any rate, I would be interested to see what happened to this place, if its still there I'l probably go on my next visit to TX since my wife's family lives down there.

| | | Hmm, I'm not finding much looking at this area using Google Earth. I do see that just on the other side of Wurzbach there is a cleared area that might have been a building. Your link to mapquest didn't work for me. Only shows a overview of SA and not a particular area but from your directions I think I'm looking in the right area. Maybe Allva will be willing to take a look at that area and verify if it still exists. If it's the building I'm thinking of I always thought it looked like an office building but never noticed if it was active or not.

| | | Yeah, I was looking at Google earth today, its gone for sure, but you can see by the cleared space that it was pretty big. Too bad though, it seems it was only torn down recently based on the land around it.

| | | You thinking of Seven Oaks Hotel on Austin Highway. Unfortunately it burned down in '05 after sitting around empty for a few years and being a squat for many transients that frequent Alamo City. It was a large site, but due to constant criminal occurences it was frequently visited by SAPD.....It's gone, baby, gone.

| | | Has anyone got pics from inside?, since it seems im never going to be able to visit it now. I think an empty hotel would be pretty cool.
