Great location great price. Didn’t realize I stayed here before. Very glad it was the same place. Amazing friendly staff. Indoor heated pool and spa. Some of the cardio equipment didn’t work in the gym. But it was no big deal.

Las habitaciones están muy bien y la alberca y gimancio. La verdad, lo recomiendo mucho; el único detalle es el desayuno. Podrían variar la proteína cuando menos 3 opciones, una por día, ya que las tres ocasiones que desayunamos siempre exactamente lo mismo. Es por eso que una mañana decidimos salir y desayunar algo diferente. Por lo demás, es perfecto.

Excellent stay! The service was great, the room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. Everything was very well maintained and the room was much bigger than expected. The location was also very convenient, right off the freeway, which made getting around very easy. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

Only thing good was the pillows and that it had a balcony I was supposed to stay here 3 nights ended up staying 1 night. Shower curtain had someone else's feces on it. The bathtub floor was black and dirty. Ceiling fan was broken as well as the lock on the sliding door. Wifi wasn't working the whole time we were there. When I went down to let them know they tried getting me another room made me wait about 45 mins. They kept calling me on the phone in the room and the cord was broken every time I tried answering, it fell off. I had to call them from my cell phone. I ended up having to book a different hotel because this place is just a mess. I've stayed here multiple times since 2020 and it used to be nice and clean. This place is ratchet and deteriorating now.

This hotel was great. It isn’t the newest place on the map but it is clean. It has all the amenities of a newer hotel at half the price. The bed was comfortable. There is an indoor pool and the breakfast was just right. There was no view except of an electric plant but we just came for a place to put our stuff while we explored the city. This one was great for us.

The property is in much need of updating old worn furniture and mattresses. There is a smelly moldy scent in the place with air fresher for cars hanging from the ceiling fan.

We enjoyed our stay. 3 queen beds were perfect for our party.
- 4/5
beds were comphy enough. Fridge and mIcrowave in room, but no coffee maker. However you can get coffee and tea in the lobby during the day, which was nice. The breakfast area is way too small to accomodate the guests. Many left after waiting for a long time to get to the food without eating. very few seating options all bunched close together so if you go when the hotel is full, forget about the breakfast. The food was ok if you could wait long enough in line. The hotel has a pool and a hottub which both were not clean. All in all it is a place for big families and my last option on a busy weekend. I would not book it for just a couple! Staff is friendly and helpfull. We were overcharged by 45.00. Not sure for what since I am still checking on it.

This place is safe and clean. It’s definitely in an area that is depressed but it’s close to the Riverwalk and they don’t charge $70 per night for parking. If you want to avoid paying for parking then this is a good option.

Bathroom toilet already clogged up and the porch deck door doesn’t lock up Staff was not helpful especially in the evening I ask for assistance and never came through instead I get kicked out of one room and so technically I rented 2 rooms with each having 2 king size beds . Refuse to refund me Awful experience Pool was dirty I believe hookers we’re across from my room off men coming in out all night and noises . Reception did not help out especiall The GM hides and doesn’t call or respond to my calls and emails Can’t even get a refund for one room at least . Worst experience we were a family of 8 with kids and not felt safe here . I won’t recommend this hotel they should close this hotel and change ownerships and management and staff. They blaming Expedia and don’t want to deal with me directly . Never again Horrible experience and the breakfast was disgustingly over burnt old sausages and milk was old the list will go on . Don’t trust this hotel and staff here at this hotel. I’ll make sure this hotel gets reported Not a family experience

Hot breakfast was appreciated, but please change it up a bit! Identical breakfasts each of my 4 mornings. Dog kennel across the street; had a few episodes of barking; maybe at feeding time? and we had an ugly view of electrical transformers out our windows. Sigh.

You could tell that the property was not new but they were working at keeping it in good shape. We arrived in the middle of stormy weather and were scheduled to leave in a flash flood situation. The staff allowed us late checkout until it was safe to drive.

We had an issue with our room being very humid and damp facing the front of the road. The Management was very accommodating to ensure the remainder of our stay was comfortable allowing us to choose another room. I was so happy with the customer service that we extended extra nights. I highly recommend staying here

This is an older property, but it is well located and has spacious rooms and comfortable furnishings. It is also a bargain cost-wise, especially when compared to staying near the riverwalk. I would definitely stay there again when I return to San Antonio.

All the staff great. Inside our room needed some maintenance. The doors barely shut, the shower curtain was broken and water got all over the bathroom floor, and the floorboard around the shower was discolored and the paint was peeling—probably because of the water damage

Looks old on the outside, but decent on the inside. Area looks a little shady, but was safe. The bedding didn't appear to of been changed and there was crumbs between the couch cushions and on bedframe. Thin floors could hear the person upstairs all day/ night. Breakfast was good Great location and close to the Riverwalk. Staff is responsive.

The bathtub was in terrible condition, with the coating missing, visible cracks, and even sharp areas. It didn’t feel safe to use, so we avoided showering altogether. That alone says a lot about the condition of the room. The pool and hot tub were no better. The pool was ice cold and unusable, and the hot tub had such a strong chlorine smell that it actually caused a nosebleed. It was clear that the entire location is in serious need of updates and better maintenance. We did speak with the front desk, but were simply told that this was the room we had booked. Since we arrived late and only needed a place to rest during our drive home, we stayed—but under normal circumstances, we absolutely would have gone elsewhere. Overall, this was a horrible stay, and we would not recommend this location to anyone.

General condition of the lodge is quite run down. Cigarette smell was present from the moment you walk in the front door and throughout hallways. Pillows were in terrible condition. Hardly any support left in them.
