Location, price, amenities - thumbs up!
Why stay here? Location, price, and amenities!! My stay occurred just after the total solar eclipse, during Spring Break, and a week(s) before San Antonio's Fiesta celebration. The hotel is located just a short walking distance (2 blocks) to the Alamo and the narrated Hop On/Hop Off Trolley stop (#14) and then another 2 blocks from there to the Riverwalk and GoRio river boat tour, shops, and restaurants. The staff was very efficient and polite making valet parking, check-in, and check-out easy. Our room was VERY spacious with queen bed, sofa (queen pull-out), large desk with office chair, large screen TV that swiveled toward the bed or sofa, fully equipped kitchen with full-sized refrigerator/freezer with icemaker, stovetop, microwave, sink, dishwasher (dish soap included), and coffeemaker. The room included a small dining table with 2 chairs. Everything was clean! And, though we did not use it, laundry is available on site. We also did not use the outdoor pool (small). Our rate included complimentary hot breakfast which, unfortunately, could have been a bit better quality, especially the hot items: eggs, sausage, potatoes. Otherwise, there is a good assortment of non-hot items. The price was amazing for being "downtown" during these special events & time of year and for all the amenities we received.

Location was near the Alamo and a short walk to the Riverwalk. Front desk service attitude was exceptional, very nice staff. :-) Room was clean, breakfast buffet was large and nice. Valet service was very fast and cordial. Nice that we could come and go multiple times a day for the same parking charge that we would have had to stay parked downtown somewhere.

Great location
Hotel is perfectly placed for the Alamo and riverbank walk areas. Rooms are spacious. We had an issue with our room and we had to move to another room but this was handled very well by the desk staff team. Complimentary breakfast is in closed which was just ok. Hotel parking is valet only and works well. All parking in the area is expensive so might as use the hotel service.

No hot water
Downtown hotel. 5 minute walk to river, restaurants nearby. They have parking but only $40 valet, no self parking. Bed is hard as a rock, it like sleeping on a floor. Range of breakfast items on free breakfast from cold eggs to muffins to cereal/oatmeal. We left very unhappy as we were traveling and the am we left no hotel water in the hotel between 7-9am.
