Had a really great experience staying at the Holiday Inn in San Antonio! The staff was awesome — friendly and helpful throughout. The WiFi was strong and reliable, and the location couldn’t be better — just minutes from SeaWorld. Would definitely stay here again!

I would not recommend. The hotel building looked pretty ran down. The upkeep was horrible. My family and I traveled 9 hours and made it to the hotel early, around 3am. The first room given to us smelled awful. The smell had us standing in the hallway. I immediately went downstairs, and they switched us to another room. This room smelled bad as well, but not like the first room. Room service never came to the room to clean or provide fresh towels. For breakfast, my mom ended up drinking spoiled milk that made her sick the entire stay. Oh, and that same morning, there was a stranger who walked up to us and advised us to check our vehicles because his truck had been broken into, and he was told it was the 3 incident that happened there that week! I regret wasting my time and money here; it was the worst experience ever.

The property was a bit dated but the price reflects. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were accommodating. They also had complementary breakfast and coffee. I didn’t have time to use the amenities. There were restaurants and a movie theater near. It was only 15 minutes to the base.
