All the staff were great, friendly and attentive. Best buffet breakfast at hotel I've seen in a while. The hotel shows its age but the location and price value was good given the included breakfast, free airport shuttle, plus shuttle to a few local tourist spots. The hallway smelled but inside room it did not. There was hard pieces of something on the carpeted floor that hurt stepping on it during the night. Housekeeping came next morning to vacuum when I brought it to their attention. The shuttle driver holding/using cell phone while driving made me uneasy.

The TV didn’t work well, very slow start and sometimes stayed off even though it was turned on, had to call the maintenance guy twice and we finally gave up using it 😔

In a quieter area a short walk from Market Square. The room was very nice, complementary fruit, water and shuttle bus were a great surprise. Didn't have breakfast every day as it was busy but one day we did and it was very good, regretted not trying it earlier!

The location was questionable, but they had a shuttle to a couple great attractions-Market Square and Riverwalk. There had been a recent fire in the building. It smelled musty. The area did not seem safe. The shuttle did not always come back for you. Your best bet was to call the hotel and let them know you plan to be picked i up p. Don’t rely on the designated shuttle pick up times. You’ll be stranded. Regard of the shuttle, we would not stay there again

We had a great stay and would definitely return! An added bonus was the complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, as well as transportation to and from the River Walk. That convenience made our trip even more enjoyable. Thank you to the Fairfield team for providing such excellent service and making our stay in San Antonio a memorable one! ❤️

The facility was very well kept. However the room could use a little bit more cleaning as there was like a wet smell, some mildew spots in the restroom ceiling and dirtiness around the toilet seat. The staff was very helpful. Breakfast was always served on time and everything always kept working. The shuttle service was an awesome

Nice, clean facilities. Parking is free! Breakfast was good. Very nice and friendly staff! Complimentary shuttle service to and from the Riverwalk and Market Center, that's a very helpful amenity, as parking is crazy in those places and expensive.

The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The shuttle service was great. It took you to the downtown and the riverwalk at no charge. The bad. The hotel had one elevator and it was always packed. There were long lines to get up rooms. We stayed on the 4th floor so we had to wait. The breakfast was a disaster. There were too many people for the small space they had. Most had to take their food to their rooms, and wait for the one elevator. The food choices were not good. They had greasy sausage and potatoes, no eggs. They also had some nasty microwaved roll with hame and cheese. No one ate that and the garbage was full of them. We had to go out to eat breakfast. DON’T count on the free breakfast.

This is the only hotel we ever stand when we are in San Antonio. We always stay there because the staff is always very wonderful and the place is very clean. As far as we’re concerned, there is no different motel in San Antonio. This is the best.

We had a couple of minor issues during our stay. There seemed to be a leak on our floor, so large fans were running in the hallway the entire time, which made some noise. Also, the carpet next to the air conditioner inside our room was wet. I think this was either from the AC unit itself or from the window, which was open when we arrived and it might have rained earlier. However, other than those small issues, it was a very good and solid stay for my family. The staff was great, the property was nice, and I would definitely come back to stay at this hotel again!

This location had a pipe burst right before our stay and at check in, we were put on the 4th floor where it smelled like mildew or mold. We were moved to the 3rd floor but there was no air in the hallway so they had really loud fans on all night and day. The room door was hard to close all the way and the lock was very hard to use. You had to jiggle and push to get it closed and locked. The positives were the location, minutes from the riverwalk and the breakfast inclusion. They also had afternoon coffee, cookies and cucumber water which we felt was a nice touch. The staff was friendly and tried to be accommodating. It wasn't 5 star but it wasn't all bad either.

Stayed here for 6 nights while vacationing in San Antonio. Right from the start I knew this was going to be an enjoyable place to stay. Vivian welcomed us with a Big Smile and Hello. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. We picked this place because it was fairly close to downtown and the Riverwalk and we could park our vehicle without paying an extra parking fee. The shuttle was an awesome perk. We used the service multiple times and the drivers were great. A pool is shared with the Residence Inn but was not a problem getting to. Breakfast was very good, plenty of options. Also it was close to the Historic Market Square. I can't say enough about the Staff of this place, everyone was so friendly, had good knowledge about San Antonio, and just made us feel so welcomed. When we return we will definitely stay here again. Thank You Fairfield Inn Employees, give yourselves a pat on the back for an Amazing Job!

Always a pleasant stay at this Fairfield Inn. The room was clean and spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful. Love using the gym room which offers plenty of workout options. The continental breakfast offers many various breakfast/snack items to get your day started. And they offer free on-site parking and the property is very walkable to downtown as well.

Probably one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Staff was very kind and even let me check in early.

I booked this room for our bus driver on a group trip. I called ahead to ensure the bus could be parked at the facility and everything was taken care of. When the driver arrived they turned him away and we had to find a new room. They were also not proactive about issuing a refund, and neither was Hotels.com. This was the only issue in an otherwise great trip to San Antonio.

Staff was accommodating, breakfast was great, room was exactly as advertised. The only concern I had is that I was awakened by a phone call both mornings; there was no person on the other end of my answer and I did not set up a wake-up call. The calls came for no apparent reason.

A few negatives were that the breakfast was pretty much the same thing day after day. I think it would be helpful to change things up every couple of days. Another thing is that sections of the hotel need minor updating, but for the location and price this was an awesome stay and made for a wonderful vacation.

Enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The breakfast was good and adequate. Our room was good also. Clean and we like the stand in shower in the suite we were in. We will stay here again. Convenient to our destinations .Overall enjoyed our stay here.

The place is great. The parking lot is a bit small, but I was able to find parking every day. The only issue was that when I got there, my room was not ready, and it took them about 30 minutes for it to be ready, even though it was after 3 PM. I was upgraded to a suite which was really nice, but I think this is because of my status on Hotels.com. The breakfast was good. I liked it. The fitness center was amazing, the treadmills were very modern and super clean. They had free weights and a couple of benches that were also very new. Overall, I loved my stay.

This hotel was okay. Would I go back? Maybe. It was close enough to everything ( 8 ish min drive ) from the Alamo, riverwalk, food options and the Walter’s gate at FT. Sam. When I arrived my room wasn’t ready ( 4:30 pm so after check in time ) but they moved things around and placed me somewhere else. The room was relatively clean. It could have been cleaner but wasn’t cringeworthy. The room was in better condition than the lobby / exterior. The bed and pillows were not great but it had decent linens. Small tv which was fine. AC worked well, was slightly loud but not bothersome. The blackout curtains were pretty great. Fridge in the room was nice and cold and worked awesome. One of my water bottles actually frozen solid. The shower had mediocre water pressure at best and two mornings within 5 minutes the shower was luke warm to cold. The included breakfast was decent, the make your own waffles was fun, then other standard items. The breakfast potatoes served each morning were not good, a combination of not hot enough and weird texture? The last night there the Netflix on the tv would. I longer connect which was a bummer. Overall it was affordable and fine.

To be honest, this hotel was an average hotel. It was the staff that made it a great stay for my wife and I. The people at the front desk were very accommodating. We had no transportation. The shuttle was invaluable to us! They picked us up from the airport, they had regular runs to the downtown/Riverwalk area, and when our schedule was a little off from theirs, they went out of their way to make sure we got to where we needed to go. The breakfast was good. There was always coffee in the lobby. We never felt like an inconvenience to any of the staff. So, average hotel, WONDERFUL staff!! I think we're going to switch our points program from Hilton to Marriott.
