Reviews
The hotel is generally praised for its central location and cleanliness, with many guests finding it a good value for the price. However, there are frequent complaints about the lack of amenities, such as breakfast and coffee in the room, as well as issues with parking and unfriendly staff.

The no-breakfast policy was as expected; the $10 parking fee was not. Room was clean but spartan. The sheets smelled freshly laundered with a hint of bleach. Easy check in and out!

The price for the location and parking were really nice.Loved having a microwave and fridge! The amenities were pretty bad. The shampoo was the same amount as a condiments packet, no iron or board, and one towel had a stain the color of urine or something similar but was clean. I just couldn't bring myself to use it. A mirror didn't pass the finger test for two way mirrors and was fixed in a way I couldn't tell if was into the wall, but passed the flashlight test. It made me uncomfortable and ultimately wary of it. Staff was professional but didn't seem very friendly, like they were annoyed to help me check in or ask questions.

This is a budget property, so set expectations there. Parking was $10, and was fine. It was empty at check-in, but completely full by 7pm. The room was OK, with a fridge, microwave, and TV with cable and wifi. It also had a nice sized couch and the bed was comfy enough. What was really nice is this is a short walk from EVERYTHING. The Riverwalk, Alamo, and observation tower were about 10 minutes away. It's located in a mid-upscale area, which is kind of rare for a budget hotel like this. I was able to go see all the sights, food, and ice cream without any issue of feeling unsafe, etc. The crosswalks all work, there are lots of people walking dogs, other tourists etc in the area at all hours. This worked out better than I expected. Just remember this is a budget hotel. The staff I interacted with were incredibly friendly and had no problem with me parking there several hours before check-in so I could walk down to the Alamo.

The only good thing I can say is great location other than that we had to go buy pillows a blanket towels and toilet paper for our 5 day stay plus when I asked for a Iron I was told they didn't have one then as we are walking down the hall way we look in a room that door was open and there sat a ironing board and Iron.

Loved the location, clean room, cheap stay, friendly staff
- 5/5
My stay was as expected for the price point. The room was prepared, ac/heat worked, facility was fully operational, check-in and parking were fine. There were no insects. This hotel is clearly not an average hotel if you look at reviews and photos so understand that by staying here you get what you pay for. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It’s pretty rough but it does the job if you need an inexpensive place to stay close to everything.

Great location
- 3/5
Room smelled like they were covering up mold. Over perfumed. Multiple roaches alive and dead. Pillows very well used, need replaced. Wwird spray paint coloring on wall, covering something up. The quality of the repairs show the effort put into maintaining the property. Yes that's painted over tape in the picture.

Staff was half asleep when I showed up. There was a $10 parking fee. Ad said free parking. Place was old looking unlike the pictures online.

We only had one tissue roll (half used). Water was really bad!! Bath tub- ah, the tap wasn’t working.

The rooms were clean and comfy. I loved that there was no carpet. The price was amazing and it took about 15 minutes to walk to the riverwalk. I felt safe in the neighborhood and they have their own parking that is covered. We came to San Antonio for our anniversary and we will stay here on our future trips.

Everything was a walking distance, I like my staying here.

I liked how close it was to the Riverwalk. Was not impressed with the cleanliness or service. It was was very difficult to communicate with them due to glass being between the customer and people at the front desk. Also it has a pretty bad bug problem. Just a gross place and wouldn’t recommend currently.

Be prepared for rude customers service, not to be allowed visitors clean your own room and children running and playing up and down the hallways all day and night

This wasn’t the best hotel I’ve ever stayed, but it served our purpose and provided a decent place to sleep close to the Riverwalk. Would recommend for a night stay.

Rooms are a little old and dated but clean for a great price. Feels like you are in a cute little village. Walkin distance to restaurants, bars and Alamodome. A little stingy on there cheap tp, i recommend bring your own roll.

On top of the rude service, we were told that, despite paying for parking, we were still responsible for the safety of our vehicle. When we finally made it to our room, it was dirty. There were crumbs by the TV, an old chocolate milk and socks left behind by the previous guests, and the sheets had stains. There were spots of what it looks like blood on one corner and yellow stains elsewhere. The room was also missing an iron/ironing board, and there was only one trash bin for the entire room, with none in the bathroom.
- 3/5
Room has a large built in window unit that was not on when we entered the room. We checked in at 4:30pm at it was 96 outside, and the room didn’t cool off into the mid 70s until 2 am. Room was finally at a cool temperature in the morning at 11. Room was a good cold temp throughout our second day. First night sleeping was bad but second night was decent. Only got one key card for a room for 4, so that was annoying to get into the room. Also there’s a $10 charge per night for covered parking in their small garage.

This property is pretty close to River Walk with very nice restaurants near by. But this one doesn't even have a lobby it is a motel, that's all. Fairly clean room, broken faucet, no clothes closet, ok bedding. All in all a motel that's all. If I wanted to stay and enjoy San Antonio, I'll not be staying here. The staff are pretty courteous no complaints there. I'm would not bring my family to this one.

Person who checked me in tried to convince me I was a day early for my reservation. Had to sho my confirmation before she found it. Was very abrasive. No coffee pot in room. Also is not handicapped friendly. No stopper in tub, I’m a bath gal. Stairway very narrow and straight up almost a ladder. On the positive side, it is located in a historic area. Close to hemisphere tower, the convention center and the river walk. Lots of cafes and bars around it.

The facilities are usable but poor - though I know it’s a budget hotel. The bedding are dirty - not sure if it was changed since last guest due to there’s hair and many dirty spots. No elevator - lucky I don’t have large suitcases. No facial tissue. The AC is super noise when it operates, as well as the refrigerator. Woke me up many times during the night. I have to had the earplug.

If you're looking for a place to just have a bed and a shower this place is okay. There were roaches little baby roaches as well. The hallways smell like marijuana. Don't think management or owners were too concerned. This spot is walkable to the Alamo, Riverwalk, Hemisfair Park, Etc.

The room was clean and beds comfortable. water pressure was good and had plenty of hot and cold water. The air conditioner worked great in our room!! Price was good especially for the location, very convenient. This is a no frills place. You have to climb stairs to get to your room, parking is tight and you are charged $10 a night. Still I would stay again. I only wish they had coffee in the room.

The lady at the front desk was unfriendly and not helpful when it came to answering questions. The overall appearance and condition of the building is shoddy and Third World-looking. It seemed that they squeaked by with the most meager of offerings. Tiny bars of soap as thin as a vanilla wafer. No water in the room in the refrigerator. No way to get water or ice. And they charge for parking on top of the room rate.

It was away from the where everything was happening, but close enough to walk to Alamo, restaurants, shop, river boat etc… It’s better to park there since your already paying for parking. Very expensive parking in other areas. I don’t know about night time. Only did sightseeing in day.

Don't expect the Ritz Carlton and you'll be more than satisfied! Friendly staff, great location with multiple food/fun options that are LESS than a 5 min walk from your hotel door. This isn't a $500 a night place so adjust your ideas accordingly based on the VALUE you'll get...and you'll have a great time!

It was a decent 2 star hotel and good value. You could hear too much activity in the hallway. The room was clean and in good condition. Parking was a little tight. The best thing about the hotel was the location. It’s in a small neighborhood with a few bars and restaurants that you wouldn’t know about unless you were in that neighborhood. It’s 3 blocks from the river walk and Tower of the Americas so you’re right there next to everything but you get a different experience than just the River Walk.

Older, small property with immigrant family owners. Parking is covered but not included in room price. All rooms are upstairs. There are NO amenities on site - no lobby (just a check in window), no breakfast, no elevator, no do-not-disturb tag to keep housekeeping out. But it’s clean, safe, and close to the Riverwalk. Easy walking distance to Hemisfair park and convention center. If you don’t mind super basic accommodations and don’t want to pay Riverwalk prices, this is the place for you.
- 5/5
The room was cleaned and smelled neutral. To my surprise, the room had a microwave and mini fridge. I appreciated the owner letting me park there before our check in time. My family and I were able to walk to the Alamodome and save the parking fee. I recommend La Villita Inn if you want a close and affordable place to stay within walking distance from the River Walk and Alamodome.

Very rude front desk person no handicap access all stairs no wheelchair ramp son had to walk after surgical procedure not helpful at all we asked for handicap and we’re not told until after was paid for they charge 20.00 extra for a 2nd room key which is unheard of and as a guest no free parking you are already paying for thier crappy hotel and they expect you to pay additional 10.00 per night for parking no ice in the ice machines just a rip off called to hotels . Com to complain they don’t care they didn’t do anything if you advertise that you have a handicap room but it’s rented then where the hell id the ramp for the stairs or do the handicap wheelchair people get carried to their room and how much extra does that cost fricken jerks
