    I never received a message from valet regarding my pick up for my car, I asked about it and they said they would send one, no message. Went to get my car the next morning and they asked for my # off of my message that I never got. The shade in our room was broken so we had to try and sleep with the bright light shining in the window. Reported to the front desk and she really didn't care.

    Did not have my reservation we made through Booking.com and gave us a room with two queens instead of the king. Snarky front desk people. not helpful. My car got hit in their parking garage, not cameras, no help. Any useful help or cooperation from the hotel staff. Once you book with booking.com they are no help.

    We paid for valet and when my vehicle was brought back to me it smelled like marijuana. The entire vehicle. I did inform the lady at the front desk and she stated she would issue a refund for valet but did not apologize and said your refund will take care of that. I find that very unprofessional and disrespectful for someone to be smoking inside someone else vehicle.

    At check in, we were only told about the hotel’s location near the Alamo and River Walk. We were not given the hotel information sheet or told about any of the facilities. We only discovered on our final morning that there was a rooftop pool, which was extremely frustrating as we would have used it throughout our stay - had we known!!!!! Breakfast was also handled very poorly. We had breakfast included in our booking, but the staff directed us to order from the menu or pay $20 per person and then attempted to charge us for the items on the menu!!! Nobody asked for our room number or checked whether breakfast was included before taking the order. This gave us the impression that guests may routinely be charged without their booking details being properly checked, potentially resulting in additional charges and tips that should not apply. BE AWARE OF THIS. Overall, the room and facilities were good, but guests cannot make use of the facilities that they are not told about. Better communication at check-in and a more transparent breakfast process would have made a significant difference to our stay. This resulted in us having a bad post-feeling about this stay overall.

    The only thing that I recommend for the hotel is to add some more lighting or lamps to the room we were in which was 511, because it was kind of dark in there when we wanted to use the desk area. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank You!

    It was extremely close to the venue we were attending. There were restaurants, Voodoo donut shop, pizza and ice cream all within a block or two. What I don't like is the parking. No one should have to pay $50+ to parking for 1 night. That is extremely ridiculous. SA Texas is not New York. Coming from the Ground floor, there's no signs telling you where the lobby is. Very confusing. Why do you have to ask for shower mat? The shower floor was dirty. The color on the television was blue.

    Good hotel for individuals looking to be close to the San Antonio night life and river walk. Not the best hotel for families with little ones looking to get an early night sleep. Parking not available on hotel ground, only Valet parking available or paid parking lots. Staff personnel were top notch.

    I was there for 4 nights and my room was only visited by house cleaning once. And when they did, they didn’t clean just added towels that’s it.

    Front desk was notified (9 pm when we got to room)that our TV wasn't working or either we were doing something wrong. Front desk acted inconvenienced(attitude is important) and said maintenance would check it the next morning (when we left). They did offer free breakfast which we turned down. Front desk also said we could come watch TV in the lobby. Management apologized the next morning and gave us points. Otherwise, I would have rate 1 or 2. If these 2 things (TV not working, bad employee at Front desk) had not happened, I would have rated 4+, despite parking.

    The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star was because the elevators were out limited to only one working the majority of the time. Also, we had to request clean towels multiple times and when asked. They said they ran out. My card was also charged twice at check in and again for using valet for 5 days when in fact we only used them once. I reccomend you be sure to ask for a receipt to be sure you don’t get charged for things you didn’t use. Other than that… it was great.

    We did have to ask for bath towels and a luggage rack. Our room was not serviced on our only day there and we had to ask for wash clothes, water and more coffee. The desk staff were great and the requests were filled quickly, but these were things we shouldn’t have had to adk for.

    The hotel did not provide water for the in-room coffee maker. Which as it turns out was broken anyway. We were informed at check in that the room would only be serviced every other day, which was fine, but it was never serviced. The shower soap dispenser was empty (good thing I brought bar soap). We asked for wash cloths and they never arrived; we were told 'they were doing laundry'. The hotel was close to Riverwalk, which was convenient, just be aware there is a heavy homeless population in this area. It is unsettling if you are not used to it, and we were not. The Valet service was pretty good, considering I think they are understaffed. The Valet people were personable, the server in the dining room was good. Order off the menu and not the buffet. The buffet is OK if in a hurry and you eat a lot, but for $20.00 it was a better option for us to order off the menu. I don't think we would stay there again.
