Hotel Travelodge Alamo (San Antonio, USA)

Above all else, the Travelodge Alamo / River Walk offers an excellent base from which to explore San Antonio. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Alamo and the River Walk are nearby but there are plenty of other hotspots to explore.

For what many guests consider a reasonable price, this hotel offers a fairly impressive selection of facilities. Best of all, many of these facilities, such as car parking, Internet access, breakfast, and use of the gym, are included in the room rate.

The free breakfast goes down well with guests, who describe both the choice and quality of items as good. The hot Belgian waffles are a popular addition to the otherwise cold buffet offering.

Reviews indicate that you may find the appearance of the Travelodge Alamo / River Walk leave a little (or a lot in some cases) to be desired. Reported problems include tatty and unkempt exterior corridors and an alarming amount of bird droppings.

More than a few guests refer to this hotel as a party hotel, claiming that although it may be suitable for groups of young people, families would be best to beware of staying here. The noise went on until after 4 am in some cases.

Guests frequently complain about the standard of the rooms on offer, describing problems such as peeling wallpaper, questionable cleanliness, broken air-conditioning, exposed electrical wires and telephones with no cables (making it somewhat difficult to take advantage of the free calls offer).
