Our stay was great! The lady in the office was super nice, the room was nice and very clean. And it’s pretty close to the Riverwalk. We found our new go-to hotel when visiting San Antonio.

Great budget option for a stay in San Antonio. The owners are very nice and the price is right. There is a bus stop not too far away which will take you to the Riverwalk area. It is not fancy, just a budget place that is nice.

The room looked clean but the bedding was old and stained. I slept on top of the blankets. Went to make coffee and a roach appeared. No coffee for me. There is a close gas station that i was able to get coffee.

Upon arrival, I was asked to provide a deposit for "TV remote" use and keycard. Yes, these were returned upon checkout. Some advance notice would have been good for booking. Check-in was easy overall. The room I was assigned had similar pictures to the ones provided online at booking. The TV and additional amenities were a bit off. The room was generally clean, but could use some areas for improvement. I recommend using flip-flops when walking around the room, as the staff does not appear to thoroughly clean the floors. I had no issue exchanging and asking for extra towels. Plenty of parking. I was informed by several UBER drivers that the area is safe. Check-out was just as easy, and my deposit was returned when I handed in the "TV remote" and keycard.
