Staff was amazing and friendly.
The hot tub light was loose and there was a wire exposed
The toilet is way too low and hard to stand up from when you are nearly 6ft tall

Room was good, just wasn't happy with the parking and the night security was rude
The front desk was very sweet. The walls looked like it needed new paint or a good cleaning (black smear marks on walls) and then the bathroom had a lot of rust. Also I don’t know if it’s because of the renovations they had recently or are ongoing but the rooms were very hot even with the AC on we had to request a fan.
Rode in on Amtrak and it's a very short walk from the Amtrak station to the holiday inn rivercenter. We came in around 11 pm but still felt safe waiting to check in. Very friendly staff and excellent clean and spacious rooms. We will definitely return when back in San Antonio
