Americas Best Value Inn San Antonio Downtown Riverwalk
"The room was up to date and super clean. For the price, it was by far the best option. Hot water isn’t very warm, and the mattress is cheap, but it was safe, clean and quiet. It met our need for an affordable stay close to downtown."

Holiday Inn Express San Antonio Rivercenter Area by IHG
"It's great location within 10 minutes walk to the Alamodome and around 15-20 minutes walks to the River Walk. The surrounding area is a bit sketchy especially at night. Also the train tracks nearby and can be loud at night. Plenty of parking. The room is big and clean. Breakfast is awesome."
