Great getaway!!!!

It was a great hotel & we enjoyed it......but my only complaint is that they need to special address the visitors with children that way the room can be cleaned by naptime!!! That's a big deal for me bc I have 3 toddlers!

Family weekend getaway

This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel and again the service from the staff was great, the room was clean, the new green remote was an excellent addition, and the breakfast offered was better than that offered at other hotels we have been to. We did miss the Texas shaped waffle maker, but the regular waffles were still delicious!! Would definitely recommend.

Good Business location for San Antonio

I was attending a show at the Convention Center downtown San Antonio. Getting to and from the show was only a few minutes away. What was good about the location, easy to get to not a busy area. Rooms are renovated and solid, heard no noise and there were some kid groups in the hotel. Rooms well stocked, full fridge, microwave, coffee pot, TV, free internet. Hotel also has indoor pool/jacuzzi as well as free parking. The continental breakfast enough for a start to the day, waffles, boiled eggs, cereal, toast etc. Missing is the location its in an industrial area, need to have a car not much around in walking distance. Workout area has only 3 machines elliptical machine, bike and tread machine. There is only one elevator and the majority of parking is in the rear of the building. I would stay there again fit my needs to a T.

Check out the Alamo, its right downtown and its free. Take a walk on the Riverwalk, really pleasant no matter what time of the year you are there.

Great Stay for the price

Great stay for the price, close enough to all the hotspots of San Antonio but away from the chaos of traffic, Continental Breakfast was excellent, rooms was clean as well as bathroom, fridge came in handy as well as the microwave, only thing that is needed is a cash machine in the lobby. Would stay here on the next visit

LOVED OUR STAY!!!

The hotel was very clean and neat. Seemed relatively new. Parking is free, which was very important to me. It is only about 1 mile from downtown, and was very convienient. Easy to find your way around. The breakfast was great! I highly recommend this motel. It was in a safe place, and I never felt uneasy.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

If you have a car, look around for better prices on parking. It is available for 5-6 dollars per day, with a short walk. A restaurant that was great and suggested by some locals, was called, "Twin Sisters", and it is downtown. Worth searching for!
