San Antonio hotels in Near East Side

Pros: The beds were SO comfortable. It was clean, smelled good, and rooms were a good size. I'm a light sleeper and didn't notice any noise. The blackout shades kept the room dark and cool which was nice.

Cons: There aren't many food options in the area, but we wanted to be near the AT&T center, which we were. No complaints about the hotel itself though

Pros: The breakfast is a great value and great selection of items which included fresh fruit. It's a nice room where the breakfast is meant to be eaten. The breakfast preparation staff member, Jennifer, was very nice and accommodating.

Cons: When I arrived to the hotel lobby about 8:30pm on a Tuesday night, there were 4 non-threatening drunk people loitering in the lobby. After checking in, I needed to use the business center to print my flight boarding pass for the next day. The business center, small room adjoined to the lobby w/ 2 computers, had 2 very loud obnoxious adults on those computers loudly talking with one another in an argument. I wasn't patient to wait for them to leave; fortunately the hotel rep allowed me to use one of the computers behind the counter under her supervision to print my boarding pass. I stayed only 1 night. My room was on the 3rd floor in the middle of the hallway. It was VERY noisy! People constantly talked loudly while walking in the hallway past my room during evening and nighttime hours. Many people allowed their doors to slam shut during evening and nighttime hours. Then there were several times during the evening/night when small children were running down the halls making noises. It was difficult to get peace and quite during sleeping hours, which is the whole purpose of staying in a hotel. Needless to say though I was hoping to sleep peacefully, I wasn't able to sleep well at all. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work, disallowing foul bathroom odors to be evacuated. I didn't like that the bathroom sink is actually located next to the hotel room door, outside of the bathroom, just as you walk into the hotel room. It's an awkward location. I paid in advance for this room. When I checked in, I noticed that the nightly rate was $20 less. If I had not pre-paid for the room, I would have saved $20. The staff would not provide any reimbursement.

Pros: Quick 5 minute drive to the Riverwalk. Easy highway access to get to other Texas/San Antonio locations. Very clean and great continental breakfast.

Cons: No negatives.

Cons: old hotel not really well kept. furniture was stained There are nicer hotels in San Antonio for the same price. This was a $50 hotel not a $100 one.

Pros: The location of the hotel.

Cons: Parking lot was full. Had to park outside lot.

Pros: They are located walking distance from Downtown and ATT Center and they also take guests to and from River Walk

Pros: Location

Cons: Customer service poor

Cons: The bathroom was not really good. There was rust in the bath tub and the shower head was not glued or attached well to the wall so it just hung out..

Pros: location

Cons: Character and integrity of the Hotel staff. My camera bag containing Nikon Camera and Sony handycam along with thousands of photos and Video were stolen from my room.

Cons: Heard all the street traffic which made it difficult to sleep.

Pros: Breakfast, location, and transportation.

Cons: Pool hours

Pros: Shuttle was amazing for site seeing! Staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Nice and fresh and talking smell. Room was very nice.

Cons: The location seemed a little on the poorer neighborhood. Boarded up businesses, graffiti and bars on business windows, tells a lot.

Pros: I like best the room comfort.

Pros: Clean, comfortable room with all the amenities that are most important when traveling.

Cons: While there is a security fence around the property, the area does not seem great for families and would be one where you should stay alert and be cautious

Pros: Hotel is super clean (spotless!) and modern, with free unlimited Wifi and friendly and helpful staff. There are complimentary maps of the downtown area at the front desk. Our King room was well-appointed (mini fridge, ironing board, air conditioner, microwave, coffee maker - which I didn't use) and my husband wanted me to mention that it always smelled good. Bed was comfortable as well. Much more budget friendly than the hotels right in the heart of the Riverwalk. About less than a mile walk to the central downtown area, which can be a bit more daunting when the weather spikes or drops (it was 32 one morning when we ventured out for breakfast). Easy access to the Alamodome and amtrak station, though.

Cons: Since it's close to the Amtrak station you can hear the train blow its horn, but it was only in the morning (a reasonable time - nothing horrible) and we ended up using it as a secondary alarm clock. No bar or restaurant onsite but we didn't need any of that and tons of places in San Antonio deliver so the lack of room service wasn't off-putting. Would definitely stay here again!

Pros: First, City View overbooked. This was not communicated to Kayak, so after traveling when I arrived at 3AM, a very disgruntled employee stormed out of the back and told me through the locked door to leave, they have nothing for me. After statng that I have a reservation, and showing him the confirmation, he told me that "Kayak" overbooked them and to leave or he would call the police. You read that correctly. I asked for his name, which he refused to give to me. After asking again to look at my confirmation, I decided at this point I did not want to give them my money after this experience. We left and were forced to travel 2 hours home after a very long day and night already spent traveling. I called City View moments after leaving to again try and get the employees name, but was hung up on. I will say Kayak handled this situation beautifully, even going as far as to cal me to make sure we were accommodated. This was not a miss on Kayak's part, it was City View first for not notifying Kayak or myself of the overbooked rooms, and second, for handling the manner upon my arrival so terribly.

Pros: The location was convenient for downtown and the riverwalk. I disliked EVERYTHING else!!!

Cons: I don't understand why anyone would give this hotel a good review. First off, there was a lot of construction going on right in front of the hotel, which I know is not their fault, but still very inconvenient. The facade of it was horrible (must've been enhanced with Photoshop for the web). The employee at the front desk didn't quite know what she was doing and took forever to check us in. The room was horrible. Very outdated and could have been a lot cleaner. In fact, I had to take a towel back to the front desk because it had stains on it. Also, I found hair that did not belong to me or my family members in a couple of different places. The bottom line is...DON'T STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!! I suggest somewhere near the airport or medical center. It will be convenient enough and won't cost as much as staying downtown or on the riverwalk.

Pros: My room was clean and fresh towels everyday

Cons: The bed was not Queen size more on the twin/full size.

Pros: Walking distance to downtown (riverwalk/Alamo) but its a sketchy area if you are alone. Many homeless and cat callers around. Rooms were modern and looked just like the pictures. Staff was friendly and helpful

Cons: Sheets were dirty, asked for new ones and we're still dirty. Add on extra charges after initial booking fee, must pay for parking, ADA accessible restroom was constantly wet. Showers must run for ten minutes before water heats up, refrigerator didn't work, roach came out of restroom drain.

Pros: Walking distance to alamadome for events.

Cons: sorry breakfast. slow maintenance. we had a slow drain in the tub and reported it everyday and it still was not fixed when we left.

Pros: The coffee was good & it Was convenient to Riverwalk and Alamo. Walking Distance

Cons: The door was hard to open and close because of the deadbolt. Kept getting stuck. Paper thin walls, you have to pay for parking and the safe in your room also Some of the staff was rude.

Pros: Overall nice clean hotel for the price

Cons: That we had to pay $15 daily for parking

Pros: Everything was good, and it was a surprise. I went in thinking it was a real dive, based on the reviews I read after booking my room. I was there for 3 nights and I cant complain about a single thing, rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, staff were really friendly, and it looks to be quite a new motel, or has been recently renovated. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

Cons: Cant say anything bad, it is a 2 star hotel that is more like a 3 star. The rates were not cheap, but seeing as there was a convention in town, it was a whole lot cheaper than nearby hotels. If I had to take a guess, some bad reviewers either got some real bad staff attitude or they expected 4 star service.

Cons: Staff was rude. Door was missing the bottom liner so you could hear everyone that walked by.

Pros: Nothing to like here.

Cons: The internet service in my 5th floor room was poor. Then the crickets moved in. I killed three of them and counted 5 more down the hall from me. While I was at the font desk talking about the lack of Wifi, two very angry women guests came down to check out because of all the bugs. The interior is worn and does not present as clean. There was a puddle of water in the middle of the floor. They offered me a room on the second floor where the Wifi was better but even to my male nose, this room smelled stale. I decided I'd seen enough and many thanks to Kayak for getting me out of this mess and into the Best Western Sunrise Suites (1 block away). Same price range and a high quality hotel. BEWARE THE RED ROACH INN!

Cons: Terrible customer service. Priced too high for the quality. Hotel floors were stained and it smelled all over. Pool was mediocre. Adverstised with free parking and breakfast and microwave/fridge in room and you had to get a special package for that. Felt like that should have been clarified. Elevator was broke and toilet in room was broke, too.

Pros: Pet friendly

Cons: Room was not ready at 5pm . They took our name put it on a list and saiid they would call us. After 3 hours no call. If you complain mgr. threatens to cancel your reservation, they also have a black list of customers I witnessed that with one customer as well. They will also charge you a 1.50 fee for a safe in room.

Pros: Location

Cons: The bed linen was cover in stains, the walls had stains and what looked like mildew. The shower was disgusting plus the water came out with such force it hurt. The floors were filthy so don't walk around barefoot. Hotel said they underwent an upgrade, but definitely doesn't look like it. Free breakfast is a joke. Will NEVER stay at this hotel again.

Pros: Everything is good

Cons: If you are going to advertise free breakfast then do it

Pros: Hotel needs to be updated. Duvet was heavily stained. A giant cochroach came out from under the dresser. Towels were abrasive and not soft. Inside of desk and drawers were stained.

Cons: Old and worn.

Pros: Beds were confortable.

Cons: The way receptionist treats guests.

Pros: My boyfriend & I went there for a romantic getaway. I decided to get out of my comfort zone(I only stay at Marriot hotels when traveling) & try something new. I love the way the hotel is setup & I really loved the design of our room/suite. The location is really close to the AT&T Center. Overall I would say, you get exactly what you paid for.

Cons: We had a feeling that our bed linen was not clean due to the fact that there was stains on the sheet & we also had to wipe the sheet before getting in bed (This could be just something in my mind since I only stay at the Marriot).

Pros: I liked that the staff was so nice and understanding! && That they compensated for our room having so many issues.

Cons: Our sheets were stained, not enough towels, and it stormed and water leaked into our room through a light fixture and straight down into our A/C unit and next to an outlet!

Pros: Loved the price. Room was bigger than we expected. No bugs, no stains, everything was pretty clean, although a bit old. First room smelled horrible, but Janet at the front desk immediately moved us to a much better room. Other guests were pretty decent folks. Budget hotel, but no riff-raff here! Great breakfast set up every morning. Room had fridge, microwave, cabinets, and small kitchen sink - all were very clean. TV and cable worked. In-room wifi as well.

Cons: It's in a more industrial part of town, with nothing within walking distance. The pool was ridiculously small (not that I'm a pool person, but most of the other guests I came across did comment on it, so I assume a lot of folks want to know). Decor wasn't very modern, and room colors were pretty drab. Could spruce the place up with some bright colors a bit.

Pros: Clean and comfortable.

Cons: Not a great breakfast or location. It is a budget hotel, but great for the price!

Pros: My husband and I went to visit family in San Antonio. It was small, quiet, and close to everything we wanted to visit while we were there. They have a fitness center and a pool that hardly anyone uses, which was a great getaway for my husband and I to relax after a long day. The staff was nice and courteous and did not hesitate to help.

Pros: Staff nice. I have bites on my body from sheets. Smoke alarm wires hanging. Google the hotel and even the pictures shown is one of an unmade bed

Cons: Staff friendly

Pros: The staff was friendly. The place seemed mostly clean. The empty frames of "art" in the elevator.

Cons: The bed was lumpy, the pillows flat and only three to share with a couple. The armoire was missing a door, the tissue holder broke when we tried to use it. The breakfast was terrible. The room was tiny and the small stuff mattress over the AC unit was neither comfortable or practical.

Pros: Was clean and nice rooms and was just cheap

Pros: The rooms are functional, however not very large. Out of the three rooms we had, we had one bedbug and one room that smelled smokey a little. Other than that it is a decent place to stay if you are looking for a bed. We were heading to the military base for a ceremony and it was very convenient for us to get there. Only about a five minute drive.

Pros: Staff is prompt and helpful. I was able to change my reservation upon my arrival to include a second queen bed.

Cons: It was pretty dirty behind the beds. There was an issue with the air conditioner initially, but it kicked in and wound up working fine. A couple of the staff members seemed pretty unfriendly. The breakfast is extremely lackluster.
