Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza

"First of all I want to shout out Maria at the front desk. She was super professional and helpful and really had a great attitude. She was genuinely helpful and made my trip 100 times better. The room was decent. I wish I had stayed longer. The breakfast in the morning was good. I had been traveling on a few hours sleep and between the hot shower decent breakfast and Maria’s great personality it made the trip that much better. The property is about a mile from the Alamodome and is an easy walk without getting stuck waiting on an overpriced uber. If you want to see the Alamo it’s almost on top of the hotel it’s so close."
