Only bad thing I would really have to say is that they don't let you know there's a deposit we have to pay for every day we stay, and it's a high deposit. They should notify people as their booking about it. Wasn't able to really enjoy because the deposit we had to leave was our fun money.

Coronavirus and San Antonio precautions. I had to pay $30 a night to park in the fire lane because there was no parking and the valets would not let me Park my own car. This was not in the hotel agreement I saw. The valets also wore gloves the whole time and parked cars with the same gloves ... and had hand sanitizer hidden. .. Like the hotel staff who had it behind the counter but nothing for the customers. Made me feel like I was the one that should get the virus.

I Normally don't take the time to review on a place but I had to for this place. Guest beware the picture are totally not what the hotel looks like. 1. Pull deck floor pulling apart pc missing. 2. Pool was dirty there was leaf's and dirt floating in the water. 3. The floor to our room smelled bad. 4. They charge you to park your car $30 a day. The only good thing was our room was not that bad. The view and noise was they are building a new hotel next door not even on a Sunday morning could we sleep in.

Decent location. It is near the beautiful San Antonio Riverwalk but is a little far than I expected. I was afraid to go anywhere after dark in fear of what may happen to me or my kids. There were a lot of homeless people laying around. There was a lot of construction. The parking was horrible and was way overpriced. I had a hard time finding a decent parking spot and when I did, I will discover the next morning that someone dinged my car door because they parked too close to me. The hotel room was way overpriced. The staff were not friendly. At first glance this appeared to be a fancy hotel but after the first night, I learned that I was wrong. Everything was overpriced and not worth the paying for. My children and I counted down to check out time with anticipation. The worst hotel experience I have ever had.

The staff was friendly, the front desk looked clean or perhaps the lobby. Some what the hallways of the hotel looked old fashioned it looked liked it needed some remodeling and painting . The room that we stayed in with my family was somewhat cleaned. The room was dusty and the furniture was dusty as well. the sheets of the bed were stained. Also the hallway smelled like humidity.
