This is a "Sam & Dean" motel (Supernatural). We love the simplicity of this accommadation. The woman the checked is in and I suspect owns the place, was very nice. She made sure we had clean towels daily and cleared out the trash too. This little place is convenient to get to downtown San Antonio easily and we paid a very nice rate considering all other accommodations were $200 a night. We were there for The Final Four. If you like clean and simple this is the perfect place to stay

Last minute trip to the Final Four and not much was available. The place is clean but it needs some modern upgrades such as maybe a desk lamp with USB plugs. The area is on a busy road and didn’t see many places around for food. Overall, it was a good place for a few nights but know that there’s not much around.

Long Drive Home

Unplanned event. Needed a place to rest for the night before a drive home. The rooms were a little noisy when other guests closed their doors. And the some of the linen didn't look clean. Overall a good experience from booking with HOTELS, check-in, and the stay overnight.
