The staff was so incredibly nice but my room smelled HORRIBLY. Like cigarette and mildew. It’s insane that the housekeeping staff could walk in here and not notice it or that management wouldn’t do something serious about it. I had a jam packed couple of days and arrived at midnight so I didn’t have time to complain to change rooms but it so bad. Everything else about the property was great but the smell was insane

Plenty to do here. The breakfast is alright here. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is close to many food and shopping options. If you are traveling to the base it’s a very short drive. The only thing we weren’t aware of is a parking fee of $4.99 a night.

They are charging a “parking lot maintenance fee” now which is a way to still say free parking and not disclose. Both ice machines were down so I expect a “ice machine maintenance fee” charge for the next unsuspecting guest. Never been charged for maintenance fees for a building. If you want to charge for parking just say so up front. Rooms are fine and breakfast was good.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was squeakly clean. Breakfast had very few options but was tasty and fresh. Didn't like that we had to pay for parking when you are already paying to stay in property, but it wasn't too expensive.

Breakfast had many choices. There was enough seating for patrons. The lady that checked us in was unfriendly. Hair on the shower wall before it was used. Shower pan was dingy. I went to park at 10:30 and waited for someone to pull out so we could park. There were several cars circling.

Everything was simple enough to my satisfaction. There was a parked car outside that screams it’s alarm at 4:00 am that lasted for at least 20 minutes. I know it’s the owner’s responsibility but it woke us up and ruined the night’s sleep. Maybe..a reminder from the staff to inform guests about this issue to prevent it from happening again.

I reserved a king size bedroom and got a double bed. No microwave in the room and no table to sit down and eat in the room. Had asked for clean towels and garbage bags each day. No ice buckets in the room. Had to use the microwave and eat in the lobby. Had to let them know that they had hornet nest at the door. Book reservation with them in additional had to pay a deposit of $50 at arrival and five dollars to park your car. Look at my account today and realized I was charged three different prices for A two night stay.

Very clean and properly maintained property. Will definitely return when visiting San Antonio.

The location is great. Everything is close by including SeaWorld. Our room was ok with a lot of wear and tears but comfy. The restroom was full of rust all around. We did not get room service due to short staff they said. We had to go to the front for needs.

Highly recommend.

We went to SanAntonio for a bmt graduation with my sister and her family. There was never anyone at the front desk when we went down. No one answered the phone when we tried to call down from our room. I requested for both of our rooms to be cleaned and towels replaced daily. That never happened. We had to go down and wait for someone to show up at front desk to request towels and they did not give us enough for our 4 night stay. Coffee was not readily available daily and the one day we made it to the breakfast (you have to leave very early to get to Bmt graduation each day) they were closing everything up even though we were there eating. They immediately closed curtains and took food away with people still eating. We have stayed at many Tru by Hilton hotels in other states and we have always been very satisfied. This was not a good experience and we would not stay there again if we ever go back to SanAntonio. We were charged full price times 2 rooms from Tuesday to Saturday and we did NOT get full price service at all!!!!!

Room was dirty
- 4/5
The room was nice. Really like the wood plank floors. Much cleaner than carpet. Woukd have preferred a bathtub instead of a shower, although a shower was a cleaner option. And the room is only serviced every other day. We ran out of clean towels and wash cloths. They ran out of wash cloths but did give us fresh towels when we asked. And the breakfast was really good! All in all, it was a very enjoyable stay.

Ok when we first got there it looked like nice and clean place just like the pictures….after resting we decided to go eat in San Antonio and when we got backed we noticed something crawling on the wall it was a roach ok after reporting that they moved us to another room to where the sink was clogged and the toilet ran for 10 mins maybe longer each time after flushing…so later on that night we sit outside to relax and drink a few cold ones and see a mice run across under our table and he was back and forth all night on the patio outside by the pool…the breakfast had no bacon but overall was ok…
- 4/5
Couple of cons: pay $5/night to park in their lot, and even though we booked & paid through Expedia, they put 3 different holds (totaling over $350) on my credit card. Would likely stay again if in the area which is close to Sea World, 6 Flags, lots of shopping and restaurants.

No matter what “Tru” I go to, I always enjoy myself! There was an issue at a hotel downtown and needed to switch my hotel asap, and the staff was helpful with booking me a stay @1:30am! I spent my next two nights with this hotel and enjoyed myself. The rooms were clean, staff was friendly and helpful, I felt safe and comfortable being in a new city. Great location, Great Staff & Great Amenities!

The safety monitor system on the back of the property sounded off a siren for approximately 10 minutes at 0300. Im sure there were slot of tenants awakened. Checkout is at noon; and almost 3 hours earlier at 0915, housekeeping knocked on my door, even though I had the door not disturb sign on our door. When I responded that we were still there, she opened the door. Thankfully, I had the interior lock enabled. I opened the door and told her checkout was at noon. She responded "just checking on you". She awakened my entire family and this is unacceptable.

Staff was super friendly and helpful! For the most part, the place was good. Pool was nice after a hot day. Rooms were OK. Mildew smell in the hallways, rust in the bathroom, pillows were not the best, and there was a mysterious stain on the bed cover. I can't say it was excellent but it was decent and worth the price. They allowed pets, which was super helpful for us. Would we stay here again? Maybe.

A little mixed on this one. The good points were, they were reasonably priced. We had three adults, one room, used Expedia, Saturday night stay for about $125. Another good point is they had a pretty good free breakfast. Sausage, two chicken strips - ONLY two, scrambled eggs- cooked correctly, the ran out of blueberry muffins, I didn't see the yogurt, but my son said they had some. They had some fresh fruit, etc. Juice was so so, pancake conveyor belt machine was a cool idea, not sure that it worked, it looked like it had issues, but the waffle machines worked fine. Pretty good over all. Two distinct bad points stood out. No curtains or shades in the room. They had a screen that was pretty easy to see through (I'll try to attach a picture, but it definitely was NOT a black out screen, and I had a nice view of the parking lot light - all night long. As a plus, they did have security drive around the lot, and it was pretty quiet. My daughter and I could not sleep at all. The blankets were not wide enough for two people who are not a couple. It covered the bed, but not much overhang. We also had trouble with the plugs for charging devices. The plugs would not stay in the outlets. We ended up using the one in the bathroom. Also, the shower was hot!

Room was double booked. Room service didn’t come through; I thought they were supposed to, at least that’s what they advertised. There was a camera system in the parking lot right outside the room that kept sounding an alarm throughout the night. Went on for several minutes and quiet for a bit then started over. Breakfast was great; I actually looked forward to getting up for that.

There was an alarm that went off in the middle of the night and early morning this needs to be assessed not sure if it was a technical issue or genially the building was on fire but we didn’t notice anything . Our stay was nice, they even gave us extra towels thank you.

Rosa’s breakfast is incredible! The food is authentic and full of flavor. That Mexican sauce is definitely the best in town. We had a great time with the family and will be back for sure

We absolutely loved our stay. Our room was clean and had working AC. Loved the layout of the breakfast/sitting area. Gym is clean with weights going up to 75 lbs. There are 2 Fussball tables and a shelf with some board games. Did not have time to check out the pool. There is a daily parking fee of $4.99. The hotel was clean with a pleasant and fun color scheme. I would 100% book here again.

However was given a 4 star due to bathroom being duty. Showered was DIRTY. Looked like it had not been cleaned in abit and had several pieces of hair. It was enough for my young child to say she did not want to use it because of how it looked. Then called front desk a few times and no answer. Had to clean it myself with wipes. Breakfast was your basic free breakfast but was good and fresh. Rooms were cold which is a plus. Not sure if id stay again unless if i had to seaworld since it really cloae.
