Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers good value for money with clean and comfortable rooms, although there were some issues with door closures. The service was a mix of rude encounters with some helpful instances, and the location was great for planned activities. Dining was enjoyable but lacked breakfast options. The facilities were sufficient for a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were a bit musty and small for three people but still sufficient, and the hallway had a faint smell of cigarette smoke. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious. The service was fantastic, with the staff being friendly and helpful. The hotel's location, right across from the Riverwalk, was convenient despite being under construction. However, the surrounding area lacked easy access to restaurants and shops. The dining options were a bit limited, with plain breakfast choices, but tasty weekend specials.
The hotel room was a bit dated and not thoroughly cleaned, but the two complimentary bottles of water were a nice touch. Having restrooms in the pool area would be a great addition.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel as it offered clean and comfortable rooms with nice amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. The location was great, close to the River Walk but not in the busiest part. Overall, it was a good value for the money.
The hotel is situated in a convenient location, close to various attractions and dining options. The rooms were clean but could use some improvement. The service was friendly overall, but communication lacked in some areas. The location is fantastic for exploring San Antonio. The dining experience was below expectations. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.
The hotel's rooms were not as impressive as expected, resembling a typical king room found in other hotels. Despite overlooking the pool on the 4th floor, they were not as luxurious as anticipated for the price paid. On the bright side, the service was exceptional with very friendly and helpful staff, apart from the valet parking team. The location was convenient for walking to nearby attractions, providing a relaxing environment close to the Riverwalk. However, the dining experience was subpar in terms of taste and waiting time for orders. Overall, the facilities met basic expectations, emphasizing the ups and downs of the stay.
