My husband and I stayed here in late June. I just happened to read some of the newer posts since our stay and was quite surprised by a couple, ie, bed bugs and bad location. We did not notice the location was bad and this is something my husband usually takes note of. As far as bed bugs, I guess we were lucky!!?? The room was just average. It could use some sprucing up a bit. The entrance door to our room was pretty dirty. However, the bed was comfortable and the staff were all very nice and helpful. We knew it was not on the Riverwalk so that did not bother us since we had a car. If I were coming back to San Antonio I probably would stay there again sine we did not encounter any problems.

Ok if you want to stay near the riverwalk pick a downtown hotel. If your budget is tight check out La Quinta and Red Roof downtown. they are good enough if you are trying to save money. Personally I would try get something even better but if money is the issue, stick with those two and you'll be ok. Also remember if you stay at this SUPER 8 you will have to pay to park down by the Riverwalk or any other venue. Parking adds $10 to $20 per day. Most of the hotels downtown have free parking but be sure to check first. If you want to stay away from the Riverwalk and search for a bargain, I would try up around Riitman Road. The neighborhood of this Super 8 is not good nor is the neighborhood for the Travel lodge or the Days in that are up the road. The problem with this specific Super 8 is there is nothing but bad neighborhood around it. If you want to eat any where you'll need to drive 20- 30 mins either North or to down town. There is a whataburger across the street but you aren't going to eat there every day. So again if you are looking to spend your entire vacation on the Riverwalk I would suggest just staying down there!

For the hotel specifically I will say the cleaning staff does well for what they have. The hotel is run down for sure and in need of an update. My entrance door was black with fingerprints, the furniture was missing parts and the tub was quite scary (say mold in the faucet handle). The best part however was I had a HUGE king suite for a very low price! If this is your only goal in your trip to San Antonio, the hotel isn't bad. There is night security in the parking lot which is needed. Also front desk personal seemed very nice and friendly.

Exterior of hotel could be cleaner but drought restrictions are currently in place. It is a typical Super 8, friendly & helpful staff. Breakfast is basic but adequate. Coffee was good. Room was OK. For the price and location it was a good base for our 3 day stay. It really is 5 minutes from downtown.
Pool is small but not used much while we were there. It is right off the highway and if you don't use the air unit you will be able to hear I-10.

After one night there my mother inlaw had bed bug bites all over her. The second day there we had to take her to a dr to get medication because of the severity of the bed bug bites. by that time myself and my children all had bites when moved to another room there were bugs all over the bathroom. you get what you pay for at this hotel. my inlaws got all thier money back but my family did not becasue we did not report it until our 2 night. The night desk person was very rude and refused to call a manager then she said that she couldnt she changed her story about 4 times. they really ruined a family vacation for us.
