family getaway

upon arriving staff was friendly but they were having problems with computers, and our problems begin from there, first they put us in a room w/king size bed only, even though we reserved double beds as there were 3 of us, made the long walk back to front desk they took care of it right away walked all the way back to find our room, only to find out our keys were not activated and we could not unlock the room, thankfully the housekeeping staff unlocked for us and contacted front desk, got situated and left for our adventure downtown SA only to get back late at night to laughing and partying in front of our room, young people all in the hallway and our key didn't work again, so we had to make that long walk back to front desk after a long day of walking downtown, upon arriving in room AC had not cooled the room and it was dripping water all over the carpet we were too tired to call front desk so we just went to bed and couldn't wait to get out of there, oh and the doors to rooms were dirty, hallways were dirty and smelly, and I had to use a towel to put inside tub in order for us to shower as tub was not very clean either. Would probably stay at this hotel again if it was remodeled, as its old and needs remodeling right now.

good but not great

Well after a 4 hour drive my wife and I arrive at the hotel ready to lay down on our king size bed I booked a month in advance but to our surprise no such room was available so we were down graded to a room with 2 full size beds. Staff manger didnt seem to care when I told him thats not what I paid for but he did give us 2 breakfast tickets for the hotel restaurant, which can be pricey but the food is delicious. Room was clean with a nice pool view. We were only a mile from the riverwalk. The best part was the hotel provides a free shuttle service to pick up and drop off at certain locations on the river walk within 5 miles. My wife and I really enjoyed that. The staff was ok some less knowledgeable then others but they weren't just out right rude. All in all the trip, our honeymoon, was good but not great. Price for our hotel was average but good since it was cinco de mayo weekend.

Excellent Service

Enjoyed the trip tremendously and the hotel staff made our goings to and from places stress free. Room was clean and the Air Condition actually cooled the room, as the AC usually have not worked correctly in most other places. Kudos to the staff.

great location

walking distance to downtown San Antonio. We were not given a parking pass to the hotel during fiesta and it became a hastle that day. Hotel had a great restaurant, but it would be great to have complimentary breakfast or refridgerator for us small eaters. We didn't use the shuttle to downtown but alot of people enjoyed that perk.
