Fiesta Weekend

The hotel amenities, cleanliness, hotel staff and location were perfect for fiesta very close to the riverwalk, clubs and the mall. Great price as well I will be staying there for my next fiesta vacation. Just incase a car is required it's right off the freeway, perfect!!!!

Good value in downtown San Antonio

Close to Riverwalk and Alamo, and not nearly as expensive as the hotels closer to or on the Riverwalk. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking were all included in room rate. Nice size room with comfortable bed. Room lighting was dim, making nighttime reading or sewing difficult.

Disapointing

Yes, the hotel is technically 2 blocks from the Riverwalk, BUT that is 2 very long blocks and under a major freeway! Not easy to navigate at all. They also say free parking. This is only because you have to walk so far to park and hike back to the hotel when the 7 or so spaces in the parking lot are full. Breakfast was so crowded and only one poor girl working it so they were a constant stream of empty bins. Had to wait for spoons, bowels, bagels, etc. The pics online look great, and we were over all disapointed.

Very clean and comfortable

Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We also loved the easy access to downtown San Antonio either on foot, driving, or using the public transportation.

If you enjoy good and affordable Mexican food, go to Casa Rio on the riverwalk.

Hill country and San Antonio

We enjoyed using the city bikes right outside the hotel. Great location to all the Riverwalk attractions and downtown San Antonio. Good Mexican restaurant down the block by the Alamodome.

Don't use the Alamo Trolley Company. It only made 6 stops. We have done the hop on and off trolley in other cities and they made a lot more stops. The river taxi would probably be a better option and you can drive to the missions since there is plenty of parking there.

Great location and value

I chose this because it looked convenient to the Alamo and had easy access and parking. It satisfied all those expectations. The room was comfortable. Refrigerator was a bonus. Service was excellent.

Great hotel experience

The staff was very kind and helpful - my car had a flat tire and after getting it fixed, they showed a concern that all was well with it. They also were very helpuful in showing us how to get around to visit various sites. I certainly would stay there again!

wheelchair accessible-almost

The layout of the wheelchair accessible room was impressive as soon as I rolled in the door. This was a larger than average room so moving about was easy. Even the placement of the shower control and handheld sprayer were correct. However, the beds were not accessible. The king sized bed was too high, I was not able to access it independently. Even my 6'4" husband commented on "sleeping in the balcony". The sofa sleeper was of typical height but the mattress was the absolute worst I have encountered. The wires in the mattress were quite uncomfortable as there was no padding over them. When designing ADA compliant rooms there must be someone overseeing the details including the interior designer and furniture buyer. Don't get sloppy on this when you have such a well designed room to work with. This nation has many returning wounded veterans and retirees who must travel for medical reasons. Hotels need to rise to this opportunity.

Aldaco's Mexican Cuisine at Historic Sunset Station 100 Hoefgen Ave. Easy walk from hotel and it is inside the old train station. If you want to eat in mid afternoon this is the place as Ruth Chris steakhouse a block away does not open until 4:30.
