    The room was clean I was put in a smoking room since they had no double rooms left, although my reservation was for a non-smoking double room......I'm allergic to smoke and use a CPAP at night and it was horrible

    It's clean A little bit far from the city centre, and the owner requested me to pay an additional fee of 20 dollars for the service room, which confused me because it was not mentioned when I booked on Booking.com.

    It's near Blue Star and the southern part of Riverwalk. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. And it was cheap. The walls are thin, and I was easily able to hear the couple next door having sex, then having more sex, then arguing loudly, then blasting their TV and having sex, then falling asleep with the TV on until I woke up the manager to complain at about 2am.

    What I like the place there's free ice warm water to take a shower a television refrigerator and a microwave and comfortable beds What I don't like about it I have to put a deposit down at the office and then the office had to give me a remote control which it don't make any sense The remote control you think should be in the room with the TV not with the key in the office plus found dirty towels and also there's no lobby just a little tiny office like a telephone booth to step in to pay for your room to stay and there's no breakfast you have to come extra out your pocket to go out your way for it your breakfast lunch and dinner

    Easy to get to, a quick drive to the River Walk. It was quiet and the staff was polite. The mirrors on the wall above the bed were annoying and a bit scary. I wanted to sit up in bed to watch tv, but felt the mirror might break. Also, could use a bedside lamp for reading at night.

    Upon arrival, I was asked to provide a deposit for "TV remote" use and keycard. Yes, these were returned upon checkout. Some advance notice would have been good for booking. Check-in was easy overall. The room I was assigned had similar pictures to the ones provided online at booking. The TV and additional amenities were a bit off. The room was generally clean, but could use some areas for improvement. I recommend using flip-flops when walking around the room, as the staff does not appear to thoroughly clean the floors. I had no issue exchanging and asking for extra towels. Plenty of parking. I was informed by several UBER drivers that the area is safe. Check-out was just as easy, and my deposit was returned when I handed in the "TV remote" and keycard.

    It was a quiet, residential area close to the riverwalk. It was my partner and me, two adults; we felt safe with nice and attentive staff and a simple rental car. Room was nice and clean. Free parking. The area between the hotel and the Riverwalk area might seem a little sketchy, so I would recommend driving to the Riverwalk instead, but everything is close by. A restful place to sleep if that is all you need. Price was excellent.

Please be prepared to have 15 dollars cash for deposit of room keys and tv remote control. You will get that money back upon departure. The check out time is very strict and if you need longer time the 20 dollars will be charged for even one hour after the check out time. Felt safe and comfortable in the premises. Thanks for keeping the place so nice !

    The bedspread looked new. An old hotel (50s or 60s) in very good condition. The bathroom had the most damage, but it was very clean. The water was nice and hot. The other tenants were sooo quiet, I didn’t hear anybody talking, having sex, and no one woke up at 6 am to start yelling to people in the room from their car. It smelled like bleach, so if that bothers your allergies, maybe you should steer clear. I would have liked a lower price because the photos made it look lots newer. It’s about a mile walk to the Historic Market and that was easy. Another bit to the Riverwalk and to the Marriott was a little long, but only one foot hurts tonight. The bed was perfect, or maybe I was tired. Also be prepared to pay a key and tv remote deposit, which you get back if returned. Thanks for the best room I’ve had in SA for a while.

    This is a "Sam & Dean" motel (Supernatural). We love the simplicity of this accommadation. The woman the checked is in and I suspect owns the place, was very nice. She made sure we had clean towels daily and cleared out the trash too. This little place is convenient to get to downtown San Antonio easily and we paid a very nice rate considering all other accommodations were $200 a night. We were there for The Final Four. If you like clean and simple this is the perfect place to stay

    The best thing about it was the price. Amazingly affordable and very close to downtown, although not within reasonable walking distance. It was very clean. Very quiet. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Strangely enough, there were no lamps on the nightstands. The only lighting for the bed was overhead lights, which I hate. I would use this hotel again, gladly, but I would bring my own bedside lighting.

The drive to the downtown area was only 8 minutes away and the area wasn't too bad. The AC blocked out the noise from the cars and I slept great. Less mirrors lol, and a small lamp for the bedside table would be awesome.

    Bad: location outside of the city and waking felt uncomfortable at night. The small of the room?! Fabuloso smelt so overpowering, that I could not sleep and my eyes were hurting. No night lights by the bed- you needed to turn on big lights. Clogged sink. Light warm water not hot. Noise from the highway was bad and all for the price of $182 for two nights! I did not get much sleep at this place. I would recommend a place closer to the city.

He was so friendly and even brought my DL to the room after forgetting it in the office. We will definitely be back for our next stay in San Antonio.

    I didn't like that. I waited 10 minutes for somebody to do my checkout, and nobody responded to the doorbell.

Rooms seemed to be recently remodeled and are clean. Staff is friendly and charge a little deposit but you get it back once the key and remote are tirned in. Cash is better so you can get back faster. Overall, i like this place. I've been there twice already. Also police station is down the street. Can get any safer than that. Bus line just at the corner too. I recommended it if you want to save money and want something decent. It always been quiet the times ive been there.

    Great check in and the room was clean and the property was somewhat private, even being in a bad neighborhood there was no questionable people hanging out around the property. The issue arised when it came to check out time. First off it was pouring rain right before check out. So we called and asked if we could check out late without having to pay extra because we were moving slow after driving from Florida and we have a roof bag on our car and didn't want to try and pack everything into our vehicle in the rain. The guy that answered said that we could have until 12. we had all of our belongings outside the room and next to our car a little after 12. When I went to return the room key and remote I was told that I couldn't get my deposit back because we were 2 hours late when it wasnt even 12:30 yet. I said that we are out of the room but she said we were still loading our car even though nothing is in the room. After saying that I need my deposit back for gas she then says I can only have 10 because I destroyed the room and moved the bed. Not sure why she thinks we moved the bed because if she had looked in the room she would have seen it was spotless and everything was in the same place as when we checked in. I was told to never book a room there again and honestly I wouldn't want to after how I was treated.

I showed the clerk my receipt from expedia but she still demanded I pay again. I told her I would not pay twice so she refused to give me a room. I didnt even get to stay the night there.
