This is a "Sam & Dean" motel (Supernatural). We love the simplicity of this accommadation. The woman the checked is in and I suspect owns the place, was very nice. She made sure we had clean towels daily and cleared out the trash too. This little place is convenient to get to downtown San Antonio easily and we paid a very nice rate considering all other accommodations were $200 a night. We were there for The Final Four. If you like clean and simple this is the perfect place to stay

Last minute trip to the Final Four and not much was available. The place is clean but it needs some modern upgrades such as maybe a desk lamp with USB plugs. The area is on a busy road and didn’t see many places around for food. Overall, it was a good place for a few nights but know that there’s not much around.

We were stranded and were not able to get there we called to cancel the reservation in an emergency. Is there any way to get some of our money back?
