"There are a lot of hotels in the downtown San Antonio area. Right next to the river walk and Alamo, both a 5 minute walk. For a smaller hotel (only 4 floors) it actually has a ton of amentities. Pool, laundry, gym, breakfast included. Room had everything I needed. Only thing missing that usually in hotel rooms was a safe. You can tell it’s a newer hotel. Nice lobby as well. Staff was there 24/7 and incredibly friendly and helpful"
