Near East Side Hotels, San Antonio

"The property definitely needs some tlc. Our room had lots of signs of wear and tear, from the hairdryer not working, one of the dresser drawers was broken and wouldn’t open, a broken power strip in the night table with wires exposed. We paid less to stay as close to the riverwalk as we could and it’s easy to see why it’s priced like it is."

"First when I checked in I was charged for self parking which was not mentioned anywhere beforehand. Since it was late we just wanted to sleep after a long drive. But the air conditioner sounded like a loud lawnmower when the compressor would kick on, no way we could sleep with all that noise. Front desk personnel came to the room and witnessed the noise, maintenance was notified. Isaiah the Maintenance worker was great he replaced the whole air conditioner in around 25 minutes. Even with the loud music from the bar next door we was finally able to go to sleep. The rest of the stay was fair,the only other complaint, there were only one working elevator which made for long waits time's. I would not choose this hotel for ant future trips to San Antonio."

"Lovely stay! The place was spotless and smelled fresh when we arrived. Everything worked exactly as described, and the location was perfect — just a short walk to the Riverwalk. We’d happily book again."

"***Dangerous area***The home is not within reasonable walking distance of the Riverwalk. It is also located in a dangerous area that is not safe to walk through. We had a stolen motorcycle found in the garage of the attached unit 2 nights before we were supposed to check out, and the police officer told us that the crime in the area was very high and that he would not allow his family to stay there. After researching crime statistics for the area we saw what he meant- and spent the night with locked bedroom doors and chairs placed up against the door. My husband spent the entire night on the couch trying to stay awake and I slept in the room with our children. If we had not already put the kids to bed after being at their sisters Air Force graduation all day we would have left immediately. As it was, we left the next morning, a day before our reservation was over. The host was aggressive, angry and refused to refund us for the night we were unable to stay due to the danger. She accused me of basically trying to scam her- when she is keeping money for a night we couldn’t stay because we were unwilling to place our children in danger. I’m sure her response to this review will be scathing, but be aware I have nothing to gain from this review, and she has everything to gain by trying to discredit me."
