I didn’t stay because I saw a man with a gun and other man came out the rooms and were walking around my car, I was scary and it wasn’t by the river walk
Close to downtown San Antonio but not walkable.....at least not alone. The rooms with windows on Commerce could use a blackout curtain in addition to the decorative one; the room was filled with street and other business lights all night. A blackout curtain would fix that. Very comfortable bed and pillows. No hair dryer in the room; maybe available upon request. $50 deposit due on check-in, even if you already paid for your room online. $5 parking lot fee. If you do not have a US-based streaming service for watching television, don't bother turning on the tv. It is only for apps. And even if you have an app service, be sure to delete your email/password from the log on, so the next person does not see them. For your security, don't turn on the tv. I hate this hotel trend.
Room was nice, quiet area, easy drive to most places. Great water pressure, beds were comfortable, A/C worked really well

The hotel isn't great. I wasn't impressed by the management. But the bus stop is right outside so it is convenient to get places.

poor planning for poor construction
No towel racks in bathroom!
It has paper-thin walls and floors. With la ow occupancy, they put everyone in adjoining rooms, kids screaming after midnight, elephants walking overhead. Should spread people out.

Maintenace issues
First room smelled of cigarette smoke. Were given a better room, but internet didn't work. Was fixed after an hour or so. Key card stopped working at 6am in the morning. Facility good value otherwise and desk guy helpful.
The manager was really kind to us especially when we had to check in late due to flight delays and the hotel itself felt like a really welcoming place

Door man walked into the room using his key and proceeds to stair at me and my girlfriend for an extremely uncomfortable amount of time, while we were both undressed and very much in shock of this. We talked to the worker and got into contact with his manager who then blocked my number and my girlfriends when she called to complain as well. We were told we would receive a discount and received nothing besides blocked phone numbers. Very unprofessional and disgusting hotel

There was very limited parking spaces plus they should advise you about the $50 dollar deposit they ask for before booking
