great price and great hotel

The young lady who checked us in was amazing! So incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel has a wonderful vibe ... definitely aligned with the San Antonio feel. The hotel is located at the edge of downtown providing quick and easy access to the river walk AND easy in/out access for arrival and leaving. be aware that the hotel doesn't have a bar or restaurant ... but there are one or two of those nearby!

Loved that it was close to Riverwalk but far away where you could still have some peace and quiet.

Front desk staff are always over worked. You always have to wait 15-30 minutes for everything, even a simple question.
