    Rooms are nice and clean. Hallways and exterior of building look shady and felt unsafe. The smell of marijuana was inside the hallways and exterior of building. This was a last minute booking and did not want to stay here because of the outside appearance but everything else was booked. We were pleasantly surprised with the rooms. Thank goodness they were clean and nice.

    It was a great location ! About 5 min from downtown San Antonio, the property was clean. The rooms were also clean just did need a little more dusting done. The room was spacious as well and it had a good amount of cable tv channels. I did ask for a late checkout at 12 pm , I usually do when I stay at a hotel and they usually allow it with no charge but this time they were charging me an extra $25 for a late checkout

    We loved the fact that it was close to the downtown area. The staff was very helpful in upgrading our rooms. Be mindful they have an original layout ( park in front of your room) or an inside 2 story layout. Rooms were very clean and no carpet in the new section. And most of all it was quiet those 2 nights we were there. Our host ND ( pronounced Andie) was very kind and hospitable. Dont let the surrounding neighborhood mislead you. Peace and quiet all around.

    The pictures shown of the property do not accurately describe the room that we stayed. We booked for a non smoking room and we were given a room stinking of cigar/cigarette smoke, stains everywhere and half working lights. We also came in to an open room and with no toilet paper, hand soap, bar soap or shampoo/conditioner. Also the "free parking" wasnt free as we paid $8 for the parking. It wasnt a great experience and the property need a lot of fixing.

    This stay was a 10/10 for my daughter & I. We enjoyed the helpful staff & the the clean room we stayed in. My daughter had Breakfast on the last morning while we were there. Wished they had more option to choose from but overall, we were very satisfied with our stay & would recommend this place to anyone interested in traveling in the San Antonio area. Great hospitality.

    I have stayed here several times and the staff consistently overcharges for “upgrade fees” though I have never asked for my room to be upgraded. They add an extra $13-$18 fee without telling you. Check your credit card statement closely or stay elsewhere.

    Room/bathroom were clean. Staff was nice and kind. Perfect location. Loved they had a small grassy spot for our dogs. Altgough, at other motels I've never had to pay an additional sercive fee, parking fee or a deposit plus pet fee.. Only used to just paying the pet fee. But....this place was really nice and clean and located in a perfect area for us. So we'll probably be back!

    En la parte EXTERNA, está horrible, extremadamente horrible, la habitación de "No fumadores", apestaba, pero super apestaba a cigarro, las cobijas, la cabecera de la cama estaban quemadas con cigarro, nos pusieron aromatizante, pero a las horas, ya en la noche, el aroma insoportable volvió, difícil de dormir, el microondas no servía ni como reloj (no prende), la tele no se conectaba a internet (no había señar o fallaba mucho el WiFi incluso en los teléfonos) y tampoco tenía ni cable ni siquiera antena, muy maltratada/olvidada la habitación, el costo vs lo recibido, fue básicamente un robo, no había cafetera, solo 1 jaboncito "extra chiquito", por suerte la chica de limpieza si fue muy amable y nos apoyó, en ese aspecto bien, pero la habitación, infraestructura y todo lo relacionado a lo físico, muy mal la verdad

    The two gentlemen that were working during the time we stayed were very helpful and kind. The room was clean, and housekeeping would come every day as long as the do not disturb sign was left off. Very convenient location to downtown and bus stop is right at the corner.

    As fotos da reserva são enganadoras e não retratam a realidade do quarto, que é bastante precário e mau cuidado: cheiro de cigarro, colcha rasgada, colchão exposto e mofado, cortina do banheiro suja e amarrada com cadarço, modos e buracos no chão e parede. A Hoteis.com deveria cuidar mais para que as fotos fossem reais.
