"Easy access to the River Walk and the Alamo. We were pleased with this hotel. The room was clean, and the staff was friendly. We loved being able to check in early for a minimal fee. It was also great to park and walk to our activities.2019-01-01"
"The hotel was decent but seemed overpriced.2018-09-18"
"I got a good night's sleep at this hotel.2018-06-17"
"The AC air in the 1st room smelled like mold. The toilet was clogged, and the towel rack fell off the wall when I touched it. I was moved to a better room, but the AC air still smelled like mold. All in all, my stay was a little poor but comfortable.2020-04-12"
"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"

"The hotel was within easy walking distance of the Alamodome and River Walk. The room was clean. Quick check-in and digital checkout. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast with a large variety of options. Easy, free parking.2023-11-08"
"We enjoyed our stay. The hotel was close to the Amtrak station and a bus stop. Nice room and excellent breakfast. Great place.2022-12-10"
"Great hotel stay. The room was elegant, and the staff was nice. Good pool, but it was just a little dirty, and the whirlpool was too hot. No room service. 2019-07-10"
"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"
"The hotel room wasn't clean, so we moved to another room. It was cleaner, but had a sticky floor and crumbs on the kitchen counter.2016-11-17"
"Close to restaurants, stores, and boat rides. The hotel was wonderful, and so was breakfast. We'll definitely stay here again.2017-12-18"
"Close to the mall and stores. The hotel room was nice and clean, and the view of the River Walk was great. The pillows were small and too light.2017-05-11"
"Excellent location. The hotel was nice and in good condition. We had the Do Not Enter sign on the door and were annoyed by the phone calls and cards slipped under the door complaining that housekeeping couldn't service the room. Avoid the greasy food at the Cactus Cafe.2017-01-24"
"The hotel was conveniently located. Top-notch accommodations and service. I loved staying here.2018-12-31"
"I always have a nice stay at this hotel, but this time the pillows smelled bad. I had to ask for replacements twice.2015-09-11"
"Plan to wait over an hour for your hotel room service order, even though they say it will take less than 40 minutes. Expect lines at check-in and checkout, and to retrieve your car from valet parking. 2015-02-17"

"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"
"Just half a block from the Alamo. The hotel was lovely, and the staff was helpful and solicitous concerning safety. Ask about nearby parking, which was super easy, but not the hotel garage situation I expected. I'll definitely stay here again.2022-07-18"
"Breakfast was disappointing.2017-09-19"
"Just a few steps from River Walk. Great rates. The hotel room was clean and spacious, and all the employees were friendly and attentive.2017-07-14"
"A terrible experience. The customer service at this hotel was lousy.2021-02-22"
"The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, but the elevators were in poor working condition.2019-01-04"
"The hotel was quiet lovely and modern, and had an uncluttered atmosphere. Great kitchen with dishes and everything needed for a meal. The TV was on a swivel bracket, so it could be seen from almost anywhere in the room. The bed only had 2 small pillows, though.2016-02-10"
"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"
"The hotel room was tiny, and there weren't enough towels. No complimentary breakfast.2018-08-27"
"Ideal location if your venue is downtown. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was eager to please. We felt pampered as soon as we arrived.2016-11-30"
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.
