The title of the property is highly misleading! It is advertised as America Best Value in Downtown Riverwalk! Far from the Riverwalk in San Antonio. This needs to be corrected, as to avoid other people to be mislead. FALSE ADVERTISING ! However, the room we got seems to be a very new room. It is very spacious, very clean, good towels, all around a wonderful room. For these reason and for one night only, we de idea to stay.

I am extremely disappointed with the bad service of the front desk guy on this location. He was really rude and unrespecful. I am not sure about what’s going on out there but doesn’t matter if you invest money on hotel repairs. Customer service should be the priority 1. You should hire competent people.

Thank you for feedback Daniel. After reviewing your check in process and your stay ithas been brought to my attention that you did not understand our pet policy and incidentals deposit. We have a 20 per pet fee per day along with 100 incidentals deposit (refundable). I see that is what was done at time of your check in. I think it maybe you did not see those fees ahead of time online. Hope that gives you clarity

Avoid at all costs!
Check their Google reviews for a more realistic evaluation of the hole's status. Some how the hotels.com reviews are unjustly high for the state of the hotel. The hotel is situated in a shabby area, adjacent to a large cemetery. Numerous homeless individuals were present nearby, contributing to a very unsafe atmosphere. We made our booking around noon and arrived in the evening. Upon receiving our keycards, we entered our ground-floor room, which faced the street without any fencing, and immediately returned to the front office, stating our refusal to stay due to the lack of safety and excessive noise. The room had no sound isolation whatsoever; every noise from the street was audible. I was provided with the manager’s contact information. In our phone conversation, he informed me they would charge for two nights despite our brief visit. Simply walking in and out cost me $300! There are far better options available, even on busy days like game nights.

Response from Rick on 9 Jan 2024
Thank you for your review. We had several events/ venue in town the days you booked the room as it was the end of the year festivities in Downtown San Antonio. You booked a room for 4 days (non-refundable) initially and when you arrived to office you said you did not want stay without any advance notice. We were able to credit 2 remaining nights of the 4 nights as a courtesy. Also when you checked in (10pm)the hotel was empty as many of our patrons were at the football game being held at Alamodome. Again we value your opinion however online has all the info and if reservations made non refundable there is very limited things we can do. Hope the next time you are in town you come prepared and plan ahead

Nice Overnight Stay
Just what we were looking for, comfortable, simple, clean. Nearby overnight stay to attend bowl game. Really like the friendliness of a family owned business. That being said, the new refurbished rooms are nice, beds are comfy, however there are small signs that attention to regular maintenance needs to be a priority or the freshness might soon wear off.
