Dinner & Concert Date Night

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Downtown San Antonio! From the moment I arrived, the staff provided awesome, professional, and courteous service that truly made me feel welcome. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the amenities I needed. I was especially impressed by the attention to detail and how relaxing the environment was. To top it off, I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary breakfast, which was a great way to start the day. Overall, my experience exceeded expectations, and I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to San Antonio. Highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room had a very strong odor of urine and you can tell that the room may have had water damage because the carpet smelled, and they put fragrance to try to cover up the odor in the rooms. Also the whole hotel rate of urine. This hotel is very old and needs to be condemned and rebuilt due to the mold. We actually got sick from the smell.. I paid for three nights and we only stayed one. Plus on the hotel website it says free breakfast and we were charged for breakfast.. I spoke to the server and her manager and showed her the picture of their website that said free breakfast. And of course, there was nothing they could do about it, and that the posting on their end was wrong and needed to be corrected.. with that being said we spent almost $50.02 basic breakfast scrambled eggs, toast, and two pieces of bacon and orange juice. The only good thing about the stay was a hotel clerk at the front desk her name with cc. She heard our concerns and I wanted to tell her more what was going on, but my fiancé told me just to keep quiet and check out.. never again will we stay in this hotel and I strongly advise others before you book at this hotel make sure you read the reviews. Very, very poor customer service. And again I give 10 stars to the hotel clerk at the front desk her name is CC. That was the only good part about our stay other than that. It was a disaster..

The room 901 was to warm, the setting was at 66 & the room temperature was 78, it was very hot outside, I tried setting it lower & I also called to the front to complain about the room being to hot & I got a fan brought to the room, I told them to set the AC lower. I knew it was being controlled.
