"The location was extremely handy for our needs, but the motel was in need of patching and fresh paint. No smoke detector in our room, and the AC hadn't been turned on, so it took a few hours before the room stopped feeling like an oven. The beds were too firm. The hot water in the bathtub ran constantly; we closed the bathroom door to block out the sound, but then it was like a sauna. The bottom of the pool looked moldy. We got tired of waffles being the only hot option at breakfast. OK for an overnight stay, but our 4-night stay was too much.2023-08-01"

"Easy to find and close to downtown, which we really liked. The motel needed some renovations, but it was clean, and the staff was friendly. Our room was always tidy when we returned from sightseeing. There was a lot of noise at night from the AC and the highway. OK breakfast; it kept me full until lunch. Appreciated the free parking. Good place to stay for the price.2015-07-14"

"Nice hotel on a quiet street, and it was the perfect walking distance from Alamo Dome and River Walk. Finding the front door and unloading was a bit confusing; we had to park on the street while checking in, but once checked in, parking was simple. Absolutely a 5-star experience.2023-12-30"
"I loved this hotel and my room. It was beautiful, super clean, and didn't have any nasty smells. All the employees were so nice and welcoming. I give the dining room 5 stars; the food was great, and so was the chef. I'll stay here again.2023-08-15"

"We had to change rooms 3 times before we felt comfortable enough to sleep. Among the issues were peeling paint, gaps around the doors, old, tube TVs, stained carpeting and bedding, scum in the bathtubs, and a faint smell of heating fuel. The staff went above and beyond to try to accommodate us, but there was only so much they could do considering what they had to work with. Find another motel.2015-03-03"

"Convenient to Hwy. 281 and the River Walk, but far enough from the tourist area. The hotel was elegant and the furnishings were nice, but the mattress wasn't comfortable and I didn't sleep well. The employees were pleasant and courteous. The on-site restaurant was expensive, so we ate out. No continental breakfast, and the in-room snack prices were exorbitant. Not a hotel for the frugal.2015-11-26"

"Nice place to stay. The hotel was just a block from the Alamo, and the front of the hotel is at the spot where Santa Anna's troops breached the Alamo wall in 1836. The bathroom was large. Parking wasn't included in the room rate, but there was public parking next door. I had a comfortable stay. 2020-06-28"
"We had a room on the 1st floor, and there was a lot of noise and foot traffic until 3 AM. The lighting was poor. The bathroom had no exhaust fan. No daily housekeeping. Parking cost $40 per night, and it was an open lot. Get a room on an upper floor.2023-10-24"
"Great place to stay. The hotel was close to the River Walk, and the room was nice.2021-05-19"
"The check-in clerks were really nice, friendly, and welcoming. I felt right at home, and they made my stay comfortable. However, we texted valet parking when we checked out and ended up waiting 30 minutes for our car. We weren't too happy about that. Consider parking in the non-valet lot next door for $25 per night. I do recommend staying here because of the friendly staff.2019-06-25"
HotelGuides makes it easy to find hotels that are pet friendly. I also like the ease of changing reservations and that I don’t have to pay in advance.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
