Reviews
The hotel has a great location, close to the riverwalk and Alamo, with friendly staff. However, the property is outdated and poorly maintained, with issues such as dirty rooms, malfunctioning elevators, and lack of parking. Breakfast is a highlight, but the quality of the rooms and amenities is inconsistent.

Location was perfect, rooms and hotel in general were clean, staff was friendly. We did have to valet park but didn't have any trouble with that at all. Breakfast was delicious. Definitely coming back to this hotel for future trips.

I booked a regular room at this hotel, and I want to be fair: I understand a suite costs more than a regular room, and I wasn't expecting suite-level luxury. The problem is that the photos of the regular room on the website look nothing like the actual room. Everything looks beautiful and fantastic in the pictures, but when you arrive, it's not what you saw at all. That gap between the photos and reality is the disappointment. On top of that, the sofa bed was stained all over. Hotels should show their rooms as they really are, not as they wish they looked.

The shower situation was super messy. We asked for housekeeping and they didn’t show up.
- 4/5
It's too bad the pool is the size it is, it's not much of a pool. Really strong fragrance upon entering, it's not very pleasant. Breakfast food was really good and Jimmie was awesome. Good quality room, shower pressure was a strong pointed pressure. Maybe a different shower head would help.

This hotel was a great location: super close to Riverwalk, voodoo donuts, the antique mall! So many things! Our only complaint was the 1st floor rooms at street level are super loud. I could hear electric scooters running up and down sidewalks and it sounded like the Indy 500 outside at later parts of the night. Other than that…. Great!

The bathroom has mildew in the ceiling and walls. I stayed for 4 nights and even though the cleaning crew went inside the room, they did not vacuum, change hand towels, and did not replenish soap. I would say manager needs to get involved and monitor cleaning conditions.
- 4/5
It was comfortable and the location was great! Not right on the riverwalk, but just close enough. Valet right outside was definitely a plus too! The shower water leaked out of the glass doors all over the bathroom floor. The TV was very small and outdated. I didn't watch much TV though, so it wasn't a big deal. Also, one of the elevators was out of order and looked like it had a bullet hole in it.. So that was a little off putting.

The weather was super hot like in the 100. So we decided to go to the pool and the water was super cold so we couldn’t enjoy the pool. It needs a thermometer to measure the water temperature.

El hotel tiene muy buena ubicación, está a pocos minutos del River Walk. La habitación estaba limpia cuando llegamos pero si tenía un fuerte olor a humedad. Muy buena elección si lo que quieres es estar en un lugar céntrico y no tan caro como otros hoteles de la zona. La piscina es bien pequeña y no creo que le de el sol xq esta en un patio interior. El desayuno es bueno, puedes encontrar leche, café, jugos, cereales huevo ….. no está mal. Lo recomiendo mucho si lo q quieres es caminar por la zona y solo ir al hotel a la hora de dormir

We had two rooms, both were damp and smelled of mildew. AC did not work well. The bathroom had visible mildew in the shower and a lot of rusted hinges etc. 4 throw pillow size pillows on a king bed. Tiny Tv for the size of the room. The rooms were just gross, my adult children who are not picky thought it was nasty too. We were there for one night. I woke up with a sore throat and we just left. Ick. This place needs to be renovated. The windows need some sound proofing. Drag racing kept us up until about 2AM. Over all a do not stay.

Our room was clean, but we were placed in the 1sr floor at street level. We heard loud traffic, car radios, revving motorcycles and loud crowds of people outside of our hotel window all night. I’d highly advise bringing earplugs. We didn’t try the breakfast. We were too exhausted to wake up in time, but it’s served from 7:00AM - 10:00AM.

I have been coming to San Antonio for 4 years straight , by far the best hotel since I’ve been coming for 4 years..
- 4/5
This location was wonderful, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The only downfall is it's in downtown where people are partying and playing loud music which we could hear. The people at the front desk and the lady in the breakfast area were great, very friendly and helpful. However it seemed like the lady the 2nd day at the front desk was not happy about being there, and didn't like to use words. The manager said she would take care of it.

Breakfast was delicious, omelets, sausage patties, waffles, cereal, juice, potatoes, Hot and tasty. Room was perfect size, Nice bed, no issue with any kitchen appliance, water pressure in the shower was awesome, but there was not a vent in the bathroom. Location, location, location ! Close to shopping, bars, doughnuts 😊, food, Riverwalk, the Alamo. Ideal location. Definitely a place to return to.

Room price was good for the location, which was optimum for walking to the Alamo and plaza, RiverCenter, dining options, accessing the Riverwalk and other downtown locations. The room was comfortable, clean and cool, though could use some refreshing; carpet worn in places, AC a bit loud, mattress, though comfortable too, had a slope towards the middle (could probably be replaced too). Hot breakfast was wonderful with lots of choices. The staff were wonderful. Valet parking was a bit steep in price; the Valets themselves were awesome - very short wait time to retrieve our vehicle. Overall, the stay was great - just little things that warranted 4 stars over 5. For location - absolutely recommend.

While not on the river walk it is just a block away and there is plenty of urban shopping and plenty of restaurants and nightlife withing a couple of blocks. Valet parking is 51.22 with tax per. Nice little kitchen in my room. Water pressure is excellent in the shower, walk in, with glass door. Bed and pillows were great. Carpet, as usual, is not clean. I would stay here again. Only 1 elevator working.

Unwelcoming receptionist. Smelly rooms- smelt of damp linen and strong chlorine. No housekeeping done for 2 days despite reminders. So we checked out a day prior to our initial plan. Lost money. Recommend avoiding this property at all costs.
- 1/5
The room was torn totally up and dirty. Tears in the seats, dirty bathtubs, paint was messed up, just looked generally very worn down for the cost and disappointing. The staff was fine. Kinda rude nighttime guy. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel for anyone. Definitely won’t stay here again. If you don’t valet, you also have a terrible time with managing the parking garages way away.

The room was small, the bed was uncomfortable, the rr was dirty (cabinets needed to be wiped down, walkin shower floor was dirty), sink was clogged, no designated pull up for Valet or to park. Very disappointed in this stay. Edges need to be vacummed, doors, elevators needed to be wiped and dusted.
- 2/5
Shower head was a joke. My roommate for the night was labeled as a bum and told he wasn't allowed in there. He had to explain he was staying and show his room key before they let him go to his room. Used valet and when they took my car it was fine and valet brought it back the day we left with a flat tire I had to go to goodyear downtown and spend 300 dollars on a new tire. So PMC valet is a joke and still haven't answered me back about a way to correct this. Between hotel and valet worse visit to downtown iv ever had..I'll be Fredericksburg or other spot for getaway.. homeless downtown has got way out of control also.

If you blinked you would miss it, tight quarters to access, very awkward and uncomfortable. 1 of 2 Elevators has been out of service for several months. And the other was struggling with buttons broken. Needed to take the elevator to the top floor just to get down to the lobby. Some staff were friendly while others were not.
- 4/5
The property was very conveniently located in relation to the Riverwalk or the Alamo or many other activities. The room was a decent size with a fridge, sink, dishwasher, stove, dishes, tv, shower, extra blankets and pillows. The only issue we felt could have been vastly improved was the breakfast. There were two waffle makers side by side and that was basically the go to breakfast for just about everyone eating. Other than waffles there were chicken patties, and french toast. There were no eggs available as they were being cooked but we waited for 20 minutes and gave up. The line for the waffles was 20 deep and there weren't any other healthy options available. This is the worst part of the hotel stay we experienced. Everything else was actually very good.

Our stay at TownePlace was overall pleasant, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We would like to share a small concern regarding the breakfast, especially on the last day of our stay. With the holiday crowd, breakfast service became quite busy, and food refills took some time as there was only one staff member in the kitchen. A few guests were unable to get breakfast while waiting. We also noticed that the quality of some fried items could be improved. With a bit more preparation and support during peak days, the breakfast experience could be much better. In addition, they should also check the equipments in the gym coz not all of them are working properly.

Clean room. We got a suite and it was very spacious. Perfect location for the Christmas Riverwalk lights. Breakfast was good and the man working down there was exceptionally friendly. He was on top of refilling items that were running low. Cold AC, and even the heat setting worked really well in the room. There was 2 thermostats to control the room. 1 for sitting area and one for the bedroom. Both actually worked for controlling the environment

I booked this hotel because it said it was a suite and because of the Marriott name. I was very disappointed. My husband and I kept passing it because we thought it was an abandoned building. The room had torn carpet, some of the wallpaper was torn, the windows looked like they had never been cleaned. One of the towels had stains on it. The closet where the iron was at, was so small we thought we were going to break something trying to get the iron out. The area by the pool looked like it hadn't been cleaned. There were spider webs and tiles were broken. Our room faced an alley which was where trash was picked up early in the morning. Whoever took the pictures for the advertisement did a great job, because it did not look anything like the pictures. I never would have thought this was owned by the Marriott. Sometimes, when we have booked rooms through Expedia, we're told that we have a "certain" type of room because of how we booked the room as though our room has been downgraded. I don't know if that was the case here, but I will not be returning and I do not recommend it to anyone.

Otherwise the place was nice. And really close to the venue I was attending.The street noise was excessive, but that is the city's problem. Having a valet was nice, but not having on site parking is always going to be inconvenient for people coming and going. Breakfast was fine. Not the best continental breakfast, the eggs in the english muffin sandwich were hard and chewey. The lower floor for the dining and pool area smelled like chlorine and sunscreen(?) mosr people seemed to get their food and go back upstairs. I ate there since my room smelled worse. Staff was nice and helpful. I made no use of the kitchen amenities in the room but was surprised to see them. In the future i wouldnt mind staying longer and actually cook for myself in the room.
