    The property could use some upgrades. The outside paint is peeling. Non smart tv, no curtains and the shade was damaged (torn) on both side up to the window in our room. Sam’s Club and Wal Mart is within walking distance. Nice, helpful friendly staff. Good options for breakfast. $5 Friday night special at the bar. Security patrols the parking lot which was a plus. I didn’t feel like the area was unsafe.

    Very clean and the front desk clerk, Aria, was amazing. She was so helpful and polite. The room was clean and had lots of nice amenities, but the beds were really hard and I couldn’t seem to get the thermostat to work correctly. Maybe just user error. My biggest issue was being charged for breakfast and being told both in my reservation confirmation and by front desk that it was served til 10am. We get there at 9am and the lady there told us breakfast was over and they were not making more food. What was there was cold and looked like it had been sitting for hours. All I ended up with was a coffee and a banana. Another guest came in after us and also said they told her 10am, and she also got told breakfast is over. I asked the gentleman at the front desk and he said breakfast ends at 9am on weekends. This was Friday morning. Then he proceeds to tell me that the lady is new and probably doesn’t know. Overall, a good experience, but just felt jipped on breakfast, which is the main reason we stayed there. Probably won’t stay again.

    Old hotel. Old TV, old rug. The restroom sink nozzle was literally 1 inch over the edge. We had to be very careful not to touch the edge as we washed our hands kind of weird. Closet space was minimal. Didn’t even give us space for your clothing to hang.

    Needed items around 9pm and staff was nowhere to be found. Waited in lobby for 30 minutes and no one came to the front desk. There were also roaches in the room and it looked like someone just checked out of the room. Beds were not made. Only 1 towel in the bathroom and no one around to get more.

    Not a lot other than it was in a convenient area for the things we were doing while in town. The rooms were dated. Peeling wall paper, dirty carpets, ceilings looked poor, etc. My wife called the morning of our stay to be sure our room would be available if we checked in later in the day (between 6-9pm). Arrived at 6:30 or so only to be told the 1bedroom suite wasn’t available because the room wasn’t ready and housekeeping had left for the day. …what?? After giving us a different room “for one night” and swapping us the next day, the room wasn’t ready magically ready about an hour later. No GM or manager ever called like they told me they would for the inconvenience. So we had to move everything that we had already unpacked. Then we got a call from the front desk the first night and instead of “we’re just making sure you got settled into the new room” or “is there anything we can get for you” we were told “we need the other set of room keys back tonight”. ….Again…what??? We were done moving our things, why not just cancel those room keys? We were already in bed for the night and weren’t about to go back down to the front desk for something that wasn’t our mistake.

    Property was nice, room was clean, and the guy at the front desk was very helpful. Only downfalls were the shower head was horrible, my water wouldn't get very hot, and I messaged the hotel multiple times asking for adjoining rooms and I never got a respond. I could have called but why have an option to message the property if it's not going to be used.

    The room was overall okay, but there were a few maintenance issues. The toilet wasn’t securely fastened to the floor and wobbled when used. The shower drain was slow, causing water to puddle while showering. Also, one of the drawers in the nightstand kept sliding open on its own. With a little more attention to maintenance, the stay would have been much more relaxing.

    This hotel is always my and my family's go to when visiting San Antonio. It is in close proximity to many restaurants, grocery stores, UTSA, etc. Reuben was very welcoming, greeting us as we entered. Even when leaving and arriving back, he would be sure to welcome us back, which made us truly feel welcomed. I don't know the person's name, with a disability, but she too was welcoming. My husband and I enjoyed the breakfast on both days. The kitchen staff replenished any food, that ran out, on a timely basis. Our rooms were very clean overall. My only complaint concerning the room was the seating area (sofa). It was lots of stains, where no one would want to sit or place their items on it. It seemed there was a spill or something. Whatever it was, it definitely needs replaced or deep cleaned. That was my only complaint concerning the cleanliness. I absolutely love that the security worker drives throughout the night. Yes, I am a night hawk and noticed the flashing light from the car as he or she drove around on a consistent basis. All in all, this was a great stay for my husband and I as we prepare to celebrate our 30th year wedding anniversary. Thanks Holiday Inn... We hope to be back soon.😊

    The hot tub that I asked where it was ( I was told it was outside -, which it was, but it was also broken and full of bugs and grime - which would have been nice to know before I made my way down there ready to soak my tired bones in my swimsuit). And the maids were knocking on my door even though I had a do not disturb sign on the door and well before the checkout time of 11:00. Overall a VERY POOR experience. Do yourself a favor and don't book here. There are other and better options not to far away.

    Honestly, I will never be staying at this hotel again. It's probably the worst holiday I've ever stayed in. Besides the building looking like it's going to fall apart due to water damage. I was moved three different times and stayed in three different rooms on different floors, and each room had a problem of its own. The first was that the toilet was more like a rocking chair. And I asked to be moved, and they without question moved me. The second room I was in was larger. But look like it hadn't been clean since the hotel was open. And besides that, having to kill several roaches in my time there. It was also a bit unexpected and the third room was a suite as they changed me to that after I reviewed about the cleanliness in the overall air quality of that room. I was moved to the suite where it seemed clean. However, there was a large crack in the ceiling. The shower was a bit sketchy to use, and all in all my synopsis. Is this property has severe water damage. You can hear it when you turn the shower on or the sink.Even in the second room I was in there was water coming out of the countertop.In the kitchenette and the air conditioning was non-existent. The room was hotter than it was outside and there's a sign that says do not turn below 70. And I'm sorry, but I'm a man that likes my room at 69° and outside of the room issues, there was no restaurant on-site. They only did breakfast and it was subpar.no bar and not a safe area to be. The staff is awesome for sure. Rebuild.

    I would not recommend this hotel or stay here again. Seems like they have a sewage issue. We had to moved rooms. The tub in the first room drained very slowly and the pull out bed was disgusting. The second room were moved to was a downgrade and the sink had some disgusting gunk in it. Event the maintenance man was disgusted. That sink drained slowly too. They were supposed to come clear it out with a snake but never did. I needed a room to wash out my baby’s bottles and I didn't want his bottles to even touch the sink. They do very minimal cleaning. They need to replace a lot of the furniture that’s stained and get some plumbing done.
