   What up everyone my name is Michael and for the week of March 10th-14th I was a guest at the residence inn. If you’re planning to go to Sea World while you stay in San Antonio I strongly urge you to book thru Sea World for awesome deals! My stay at the Residence was very pleasant. The rooms were very nice, clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was snack was surprisingly great. The pool and hot tub were also a plus for my stay! The hotel is in a very convenient location, not even 5 minutes from The Alamo and about 10 minutes from the river walk! I strongly recommend the Residence Inn for your next stay in San Antonio!!! The only bad thing I have to say is of course the fee for parking daily at the hotel!

   NO!: First the sole positive, the hotel is in a good location for vacationers.
   
   I arrived at the hotel very late for a business trip. My corporate travel agency had booked this hotel. The staff member I dealt with even said it was a booking from X company. Then he said he had to have proof that this was a business trip before he could give me the room at that rate. The fact that I handed him a company credit card was not adequate.
   
   There is a parking garage. But if the garage is full, you have to park in a pay lot across the street. They do refund you the parking fee for any days you can't use the garage. However, the lot across the street is not secure & there were vagrants sleeping on the sidewalk.
   
   Normally Residence Inns are very nice, but this one had seen better days. It was clearly an older hotel with older, not so nice furnishings. Had I gotten to the room before midnight, I would have left to find a better hotel. Instead I waited until the weekend and moved.

   Simple Excellent in Every Way ! ! !: This is one of the best hotels in downtown San Antonio. I have stayed in almost all of the hotels in the San Antonio Downtown area and this is by far one of the best. The staff is super friendly and helpful at all times, not just when arriving. The rooms are big. You have your kitchenette, sofa area, desk, and the bed. The rooms are huge. My 2 yr. old son had a great running-around space. The location is also great as it sits just behind The Alamo. All the downtown area might seem dark at night, but nothing to worry about. They have a great happy our that includes wine, beer, and a different snack each day. The hot beakfast is perfect in the morning. You can have anything from eggs & sausage to yogurt and fresh fruit. Believe me, the price is also good considering it is just as good as all those super expensive hotels. Stay here, you won't be disappointed. PS - Free Internet
