However, the hotel's cleanliness and condition are frequently criticized, with guests mentioning issues such as mold, dirt, and old facilities.

    Overall, it is a nice hotel, and the staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful. However, the street noise was quite disturbing at night and interrupted my sleep. Better soundproofing would make the stay much more comfortable and enjoyable.

    There was no hot water in shower, most of power plugs were loose, bed sheets seemed not to be changed because hairs on the sheets The hotel charged my Apple credit card already before checking in but insisted another physical card for the deposit, it would be trouble to check in if I do not have another card

    It’s a little out of town but still a pretty easy half hour walk. The manager (who seemed to be there nearly all the time) was very attentive and helpful. And the warm cinnamon rolls were the best! The breakfast was good and I liked that it stayed open to 9:30 but the space was small - although there was additional seating outside.

    Liked the drawers in the armoire cabinet. Liked the sliding door. Liked the mirror lighting. Liked the cooling. Liked the way the facility doesn't have a musky smell like some of the older hotels. Liked how close it is to Market Square and HEB. Liked the convenient access to the highway. Liked the beds; slept very comfortable. Poor bed lighting. Didn't like pancakes; prefer waffles. Didn't like the omeletes; prefer scrambled eggs. The fold out sofa is very uncomfortable. Didn't like the outside lighting shining directly into the room.

    The staff was very friendly and accommodating! The breakfast was very good with lots to choose from We enjoyed sitting outside watching the birds while eating our breakfast. The beds were comfy and they tidied up our room each morning. They don’t make the bed, but that’s OK. I know they are busy, but I wish they would have more information on transportation. We came in on the train needing to use different types of transportation to get around. We did not know how to use the transit, but I think we finally got the hang of it on the last day lol

    We spent two nights here and had a great stay. The staff was wonderful, and the breakfast was awesome—especially the coffee, which was bold, rich, and flavorful. The location is ideal: close enough to reach most of the main tour spots easily, but far enough away to avoid all the noise. The rooms are also very spacious. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re in San Antonio!

    The room was humid, carpet was very dirty that you couldn't be barefooted, feet turn black. Our room was not cleaned on time. Their excuse was that it was locked and that we had left a 'do not disturb' sign. All lies, by the staff maintenance. After 3 days they figured that maintenance did not reported their key was not working and couldn't gat in. One staff member was to aggressive defending himself arguing with me instead of figuring out the problem. Sad to say, I was the one that pointed out what the issue was. 4th night no issue, 5th night we couldn't get into room. The manager had to come and figure out the problem. If the maintenance staff would have reported correctly the issue instead of making assumptions they would have known the door electronic lock needed new batteries. How simple was that? I was very stressed and I couldn't relaxed at all. I had to keep calm and keep everyone else in my family as calm as possible. I would not stay here again.

    The room and bathroom were clean. However, we had to request towels because although we were 6 we only had 3 towels in the room. Also, my son was on the sofa couch and there were no sheets or pillows for him to set it up and the mattress was definitely a sore to look at. The breakfast was ok nothing special but you have your basics pre made omelets, pancakes, oatmeal etc.

    Overall it was okay for the price. The lady working the front desk was really nice and speedy with our check in process. The room was spacious which was great, but it could have been cleaner. The carpet looked dirty, sheets had stains, bes was super itchy, and the temp was uncomfortable even after adjusting the temp on AC. On another note... the restroom light switch was on the outside of the restroom which was weird.

The riverwalk is 15-20 minute walk and 8-10 minute walk to the market. This hotel is family friendly. The parking is free and they have computer if you need it. They also have snacks in the lobby everything is $2 so that’s good.

The down side was the elevator was out but we didn’t have a problem with the stairs that were very conveniently located. There was also a lot of loud music outside that we could hear in our room but it was a Saturday night so I think that was why. It didn’t keep us from sleeping because we used white noise. We didn’t have time to eat breakfast so I can’t comment on that.

    The lights in the room were very difficult to figure out; you had to turn on a certain switch on the other side of the room to make the lights turn on. Some lights did not work. We used the fold out bed and the front desk would not supply extra pillows. We needed extra towels and they gave us one. The 2 room concept is nice except the air would not cool the room with the fold out couch even with all doors open.
