“Great location and in room kitchenette.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Nicely renovated hotel with kitchenette and great location a block from the river walk by Dicks Last Resort. Can be noisy street side. Iron was cheap and pretty useless. Shower pressure low. And continental breakfast items limited and were not always well stocked. But otherwise a great room and stay.

“Clean and close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I stayed at this hotel in October 2012 for 2 nights while attending a business meeting nearby. The hotel was close to everything that I needed, and also only a few blocks (walking distance) from the Alamo and adjacent to Riverwalk access. The complimentary breakfast was good and convenient, and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative was a very loud A/C unit, but it did a good job keeping the room cool. I would probably stay here again.

“Stylish and in great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Stylish hotel with no frills. Room was large, clean and comfortable.

Great selection of foods at breakfast. Nice indoor pool and small gym.

The location is fantastic. We could walk everywhere from there during our stay and it was great not to need the car for a few days.

Overall really good value for money.

“Average value, a bit too expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I've stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. For what I've paid, the service has been just acceptable, but the overall experience didn't quite fit.
Concierge was slow and busy most times; breakfast was bad; however, the hotel is centrally located, which meant I had my 2nd and 3rd breakfast nearby, on the Riverwalk.
I don't particularly recommend this hotel if you want to stay in San Antonio. My understanding is that it's a better fit for long term stays (3-4 weeks or more), in which case the price per day should be better.
Ah, last but not least: I had a few small ants all around the room. It wasn't particularly annoying, but nevertheless...

Room Tip: Pick a high rise. Any side would work.

“Dirty floors, dirty dishes, loud a/c, good location, nice staff, refused to admit we checked out”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

I stayed at Home2 Suites for 3 nights in October 2012. The concept of the hotel is nice - each room has a kitchenette with a pretty nice setup, including a nice microwave and sink area and a sizeable fridge. It has a great location only 2 short blocks from the main drag of the Riverwalk, which was probably my favorite thing about this hotel.

The desk and staff were very pleasant, especially Mia at the front desk.

However, be aware, you get (or don't get) what you pay for, and in this case, there were a few pretty significant downsides to this hotel:

-- The floors of our room were so dirty that clean white socks would turn black on the bottom after just walking across the carpet one time. Ewww.

-- My in-laws, who also stayed at this hotel, arrived to their room to find a dishwasher full of unwashed dishes. Ewww.

-- My in-laws also didn't have the proper bedding in their room for the pull-out couch. They were able to find an extra pillow, but no extra sheets or pillowcases.

-- Don't expect more from breakfast than some yogurt and a bagel. Avoid the "sandwiches" at all costs - they are terrible and barely have any egg or sausage on them. They are mostly half an english muffin covered in weird orange sauce.

-- The air conditioners in the room are extremely loud, as noted by most of the reviewers here. It didn't really bother me, since the bed was on the other side of the room, but my 7-month old was terrified and would cry if we took him near the a/c unit. It's that loud.

-- The valets take forever to get your car. We called them 30 mins ahead on the day we were leaving to ask for our car to be ready at a specific time, and we still stood waiting on the sidewalk for 15 minutes past that time before they finally showed up with it. It wasn't even a particularly busy time - I don't know why it took so long.

-- We checked out one night early and received a receipt / check-out slip before leaving the hotel. When I called Expedia to ask them to refund our final night's stay (as they previously said they would), the hotel REFUSED TO CONFIRM THAT WE HAD CHECKED OUT. I was extremely frustrated by this, since we told the front desk multiple times that we planned to leave early, and, in fact, checked out and received a time-stamped receipt showing that we had departed. I do not understand why the hotel would not tell Expedia that we had left.


Bottom line -- Only stay here if you want to be close to the Riverwalk at a bargain rate, but don't expect much, and bring flipflops to keep your feet off the disgusting floors. I won't be staying here again.

Room Tip: Be aware that not all rooms have a curtain dividing the bed from the rest of the room, in case that...
