positive:
Get online throughout the hotel.
Free Wi-Fi is one of the perks that you'll enjoy at this hotel - guests say that it's fairly reliable, and works anywhere, so you shouldn't have any problems logging on from the comfort of your room. It's a real bonus, whether you just want to search for local attractions, or you're doing business.
positive:
Satisfying free breakfast.
Before you head out for the day, why not enjoy a decent hot breakfast? After all, it's included in your room rate, and there's a pleasant, spacious dining area where you can sit and enjoy it. Guests generally rate the choice of food on offer, so there's probably something there to entice you.
positive:
Convenient location close to the interstate.
This Budgetel offers a convenient location in northeastern San Antonio, just off I-45. It puts you just a few mintues' drive from the airport, so it's great if you've got a flight at an unsociable hour, but it's also within easy reach of downtown San Antonio and all its cultural attractions.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A few basic amenities lacking.
If you're someone who really needs your morning coffee in order to function, then you'll understand why guests have complained about the lack of a coffee maker in the room. Also, some guests have reported non-functioning air conditioning units, and ancient TV sets that barely work, so don't expect the latest gadgets.
negative:
The overall upkeep is poor.
Everyone can forgive slightly outdated decor and old furniture in a budget hotel, as long as everything's clean and in working order. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case here, with guests reporting things like worn and stained furnishings, broken locks, and cracked ceiling tiles.
negative:
Musty smells.
While many rooms are now non-smoking, they haven't always been that way, and many guests say that they still smell strongly of stale cigarette smoke, as well as some musty, damp smells that may be attributed to the dodgy air conditioning units.
