Disappointed in San Antonio

The hotel is located in a sketchy part of town. I have no idea what view was used for the outside pictures. They were doing construction and we had loud banging on Friday afternoon and our shower didn’t work which made it very hard to get ready for an event that night. The banging and construction started at 657 in the morning on Saturday. It was awful. The one bed seemed like it had a hole in the middle of the mattress. When we checked out and I was asked about my stay, I gave the feedback above. The lady at the check out said, “Ok.” And that was it. (The breakfast was good!)
Out our window of the hotel.

Overall the hotel room was very nice. The parking lot however was VERY small and not large enough and didn’t have wide enough parking spaces. The area didn’t seem the safest, but not much you can do about that part.

Toliets way to low!!

The bathroom toliet in 209 was so short I actually felt I was squatting outside in the woods. You HAVE to replace them so us tall folks can feel more comfortable. Also, construction 2 floors above us was going on until 6:30, new years eve. Sort of put a damper on the night.
