Not what we expected

Our family went on a San Antonio vacation. The only thing we did at out hotel was sleep. The room was smocking after we had booked non smoking, the carpets were wet, the fixtures on the ligh switches and the lamps were broken, the sheets were dirty and there were a few bugs. The pool had broken tables and chairs and the water was not clean. The tables around the pool were also ver dirty. It was not a great experience. The staff was unfriendly as well. The rooms were also very loud, you could hear everyone running around in the hall and talking.

Not horrible

My boyfriend had a basketball tournament so we just needed a place to rest up for the weekend. The hallways were kinda smelly and it was very hot walking into the room. The air condition didn't make the room cooler for about another 2 hours after we got in. I tried calling for more towels but no one answered, and I had been informed that a employee party was going on so I'm assuming that's why no one answered in the front.

Good Value, good location

Older facility kept clean with friendly staff. Quiet though just off the freeway. For out of town folk the Texas service road system takes a bit of getting used to. Just 5 minutes from $8 parking at convention center.

good for the price

Location is close to highway, convenient to get to places. Room is clean and spacious. There's microwave and refrige in the room. AC is loud, but I don't use it during the night since room temp is OK during Christmas. Breakfast is very simple. In general, u get the price's worth.

Nice just for a couple days

The hotel is confortable, the only problem is that there was only hot water in the room. And the signal of the wi-fi, was very poor.
