Conveniently located close to local attractions.
Inadequate parking.
All in all, my family enjoyed our stay. We always stay at Residence Inns when we travel. It met our expectations. The complimentary breakfast was the best I've had at any hotel.

Breakfast bar, windows that open, fast elevators, friendly and
helpful staff.
Noisy bathroom vent; exercise room needs new workout equipment.
Hotel provided good basic service. I stayed 5 nights. I enjoyed the extra room the suites afforded. The hotel is clean and the daily room cleanup was good. Cooking facilities are basic. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Pool is small and entry is through the social/breakfast lounge. The exercise equipment like bikes and stair steppers need to be upgraded or renewed.

Great that breakfast is included and that they are happy to purchase groceries at no extra charge. Staff was honest and very helpful in all aspects.
Great helpful staff always try to accommodate individual needs. Groceries can be purchased at no extra charge - good if you prefer to eat healthy and not at huge expense. Plastic plates/utensils available, so breakfast could be taken away to eat where you wanted. Staff top thought!

This hotel was within walking distance of the river walk and the Alamo and even the Alamo dome.
Parking was atrocious. The breakfast food was not good and there was not enough room for everyone to eat. Breakfast lines were long.
I always like staying at Residence Inns they cost a bit more yet I am usually well taken care of and the hotel is clean. This was no different in the clean department. The hotel was very clean and neat. The hotel was within walking distance to many attractions that my adult children and I enjoyed. I was appalled that I would be charged $12 a day to park in a garage that was inconvenient and didn't even offer enough parking for all of its guests. In fact I was forced one evening to walk 2 blocks and park in an unsecured parking lot where I also had to pay $10 to park overnight. I then walked back to the hotel at midnight, in not the safest of neighborhoods and then was told by the housekeeper that she would not open the door for me unless I put down all my bags and dug out my key. The other problem that we had was with breakfast. The lines were huge and the food was not kept very warm. I had nowhere to sit and had to carry my food back to my room on the 11th floor. I sat down to eat found hair in my eggs and the OJ was water basically. The few minor problems I could have overlooked yet the price I paid for this room and when compared to other Residence Inn's that I have stayed at was so not up to the standard I had expected. read more

The location was close to the Riverwalk and the River Center Mall. The staff was courteous and always helpful. The room was very nice and spacious.
Not enough parking spaces for all guests. But there is a lot across the street.
Great location, great room. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. It is a little overpriced, but I think it's because of the location being so close to the Riverwalk. Overall, I would stay there again.

Easy to find, friendly staff.
Too far from river walk stores and restaurants, parking too expensive.
OK, would not recommend to family or friends.

Very nice. Most of the employees were very nice with the exception of Sam.
Sam is really an asshole. All of his lower level employees are extremely nice. He should be fired. I almost wouldn't stay there again because of Sam.
The hotel is great. Great location. Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Would recommend it to anyone except for the manager Sam. If anyone from the hotel reads this, get rid of Sam. I would not stay there again, or tell anyone else to stay there if Sam is the manager. All of his employees are great he is terrible. Get rid of Sam.

Closeness to the Alamo and the river walk.
Having to pay for hotel parking.
The room was clean and well located to attractions that we wanted to see. The staff was very friendly. The free breakfast that was offered in the morning was exceptional and the staff helped me find a table for my son and I to eat at during the early morning rush. I would like to say thank you to the staff again!!
