Reviews
The hotel is praised for its central location, with many attractions within walking distance. The staff is consistently described as friendly and helpful. However, several guests express dissatisfaction with the valet-only parking situation and its associated cost. Some guests also mention issues with room cleanliness and noise.

I got stuck in the elevator. And the man who answered the call through the help button wasn't helpful. Good look for me, my friends were still in the lobby and noticed we were in the elevator, they asked for help and we were rescued.

I have stayed in hundreds of Marriott hotels and I must say this one is at the bottom of the list. Rooms are extremely outdated, TV was the size of a monitor. Zero hot water on any shower, literally a cold shower.

We checked in late and the front desk was so helpful. Whenever we needed towels they would bring them up and no complaints. We thought this room had a sleeper couch but it didn't. The staff did bring us a few blankets to make a pallet to sleep on for one of our kids. If we have more than 4 people, we will book those sister hotel, Springhill suites.

Staff was friendly. Location was walkable to the Alamodome venue. AC in the room was cold :) The breakfast was good. No Complaints. The Valet parking option was a good resource because I do not think free parking is available anywhere in the area.
- 5/5
The breakfast was good as well. It’s your usual continental breakfast but they also offered diced sausage and potatoes with bell pepper as well as scrambled eggs. The rooms are nice and clean. I love how close this location is to the Riverwalk. We were there for the MCR concert so we loved the proximity to the Alamodome. It was about a 20 min walk from the hotel. San Antonio PD did great directing traffic and making sure people were able to cross the street safely. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

The Hot Tub was not functioning due to waiting on a part in the control dial. However everyone was friendly, and the property was clean. They are vallet only, or park at a meeter on the street.

Fantastic hotel. Room was small but perfect size for the two of us! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Location was very walkable and safe. Despite being close to night life, hotel was quiet. They had a nice patio/ smoking area by the pool also. We had our coffee out there. Bed was comfy and clean. Points off for parking. It was street parking or valet for $40. Breakfast was delicious

The furniture in the rooms are a bit outdated, the mattress in the room we stayed was very wore out, but Valet staff was so awesome it makes up for the other.

Park off the street to the meters to get free parking don't pay $40, don't care about your Marriott status they won't honor it for ANYTHING.

The breakfast was Amazing and the staff was very nice and helpful! The parking was a bit pricey

Breakfast is heavily influenced by the Spanish diet. Chircsco in the eggs, refired beans, wraps on the breakfast bar. Staff members are warm , great with directions and suggestions. They have a great valet service, fast and friendly. Hot water was an issue but maintenance had it fixed lickitty split. Yes I would stay there again.

Breakfast was the usual "free" fare: sausage, crumbly eggs, waffles, breads, cereal, etc. I didnt use their parking, which was by valet only. I parked elsewhere, which was cheaper and offered self parking with in-and-out privileges. Good location. Walkable to the River Walk, Alamo, River Center Mall, convention center and other attractions.

The property manager offered either a partial refund or reward points. To avoid the hassle with trying to get a refund processed from Marriott to Hotels.com I chose the Marriott points. 3 days later and they are not yet posted to my account. Now they say because of the amount of points it will have to be approved by the General Manager, who apparently only works M-F. Last I knew the hotel business was 24/7/365. Maybe I’m overreacting but I feel like I am getting the run around and now have to spend more time following up on this than what the points are going to be worth.

Valet personnel were always so kind and respectful and greeted you with a smile and by your name. The front desk staff always acknowledged you and made you feel welcomed. The hotel was clean and well tended to. Due to my busy conference schedule only got the chance to enjoy breakfast one day but was a great variety of foods offered and do appreciate this. Overall was a great stay and a big thank you for all who made this possible.

A lot of street noise. Fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night and they just said it was a glitch. One elevator was out of service and the staff was using the other one during busy customer times making waits long. Not good on the customer service end. When we arrived late at night no one let us in. No one came to class cars. Not a great experience.

Shopping and location was good. Didn't use pool...most of day it's in the shade. Breakfast would get good rating if it was hot, it looked like it was steaming hot in chafing dish but as soon as you took a bite it was barely warm. Beds were comfortable, slept well but room itself could use some updating.

This is a fabulous property for the value and price we paid. The valet parking is a little $$, but everywhere around this area is the same in that regard. The property was clean, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was hot and delicious. The only complaint is there was way too much chlorine in the hot tub, it completely leached the color from my daughter's swimsuit and it changed colors irreversibly. She quickly exited once we realized how strong the chlorine was, but they should keep a better check on those levels. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay.

Stay would have been great if parking for 2 days wasn’t $80. Room would of rated great if A/C Thermostat worked and cowling wasn’t falling off from customers removing to change temperature
- 3/5
A/C Thermostat on wall didn’t work and cover was falling off on A/C from room guest having to remove to adjust temperature since there was no access. Bath tub stopper didn’t work, so had to take shower when I wanted a bath. Parking for two nights was $80 since only other option was pay to park on street. Breakfast was what we expected for free and hotel personnel was friendly.

The room was in good condition, staff was friendly. I just did not like that there is no free parking, I asked to get towels brought up to two rooms that I had booked and no towels were ever given. Our room keys kept not working so I had to go back down stairs to get them reactivated, this happened 3 times and it was annoying.

Front desk I guess ok. We reserved for 3 adults. so room with a sofa bed. It was HORRIBLE. We called front desk. They could not do anything but offer us a comforter!! I called back. Nothing they could do. I asked to change rooms. She said same type. I said I want a confortable bed forvthe 3rd adult to be able to sleep. She gives us exactly the same thing!! Mattress maybe 1/4 inch less springs. When I had called, I had told her this hotel does not believe in the comfort of their clients!! And I believe this. Neither the hotel, nor Expedia, should be promoting this room for more than 2 adults. Disappointed is an understatement. The 3rd person did not sleep well.
