Holiday Inn Express & Suites San Antonio Medical-Six Flags by IHG
The room was clean, but the bathroom tub needs to be changed out as it appears that the bathtub dirt stains will not be removed with regular scrubbing. The bathtub/shower wall tiles could benefit from re-grouting. Shower curtain needs to be changed.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk
Excellent stay in downtown San Antonio. Very walkable location especially to the Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center. Very welcoming staff. Clean room. Some outlets did not work and if you’re a light sleeper the road noise from the highway might be bothersome but overall great stay.
