This was a last minute stay reservation. It was fine for a night since we were traveling, but the area around it was rough and the pictures should be updated to better reflect the property. It was an OK stay.

The area was extremely quiet and peaceful. Parking was available just outside my room which made it very convenient after a long day of exploring San Antonio's food, shopping, zoo, and a concert at the Alamodome. Perfect for a couple night's stay and will definitely return when needing a rest stop when visiting San Antonio.

I booked for two nights, checked out a day early cause we had an emergency and had to leave town. The manager Rick was no help and rude, and still charged me for 2 nights. The pictures are deceiving online, this is a motel that tries to pass off as a hotel, was not a 3 min walk to Riverwalk, bad side of town, wasn’t even downtown. The bed linens and covers were dirty look like poop, had a bad smell on them, the tv and wifi didn’t even work properly. The shower was moldy and so was the shower curtains, no, blow dryer in room, no phone in room, had to text a phone number to get a hold of staff.

Great place to stay

Everything was great. I got a quiet nights sleep. The room was awesome. When I look for a hotel I always look for a coffee pot, fridge, and microwave. My rooms had all three. I am a huge coffee drinker and hate to go to the lobby to get coffee. Either the coffee is too cold, non at all, or very old.

Clean, no frills

This hotel is fine if you are OK with something that's very basic and clean with no real amenities. The continental breakfast consisted of a waffle machine, two kinds of sugary cereals, white bread, and terrible coffee. After I complained about the selection the first day, there were bananas and apples available for the rest of my stay, which I appreciated. There was no coffee maker in the room. I had a cold shower the first day, but it was fixed by the next day after I reported it.

Leaking Water

We were told when we checked in the the bathroom ceiling had a small hole leaking water and It was leaking in the shower. Well there was a leak but it was also coming out of the bathroom light and the vent. Going all over the bathroom floor. Went to the office to let them know that is was worse than what they let on and they didn’t really seem to care. We really only needed a bed to sleep for 1 night in for the NCAA tournament or we would have left. Room was way overpriced for what they offered.

Never again.

Checked in and immediately let the person at the front desk know our toilet did not work also gave us 1 bed instead of the double bed i booked a month in advance. Did not want to fix the toilet because it was raining outside. Also said it would be fixed the next day and we could get a new room with the double beds i requested. Which none of it ever happened so I spent the two days with the lid off the tank manually flushing the toilet.
