Days Inn San Antonio Alamo/Riverwalk

It’s nothing fancy, but it got the job done! People were friendly and there were no problems. We were amazed by how low the showerhead was located, but overall, it worked out!

Comparably to other Days Inns that I’ve stayed at, this one isn’t so bad. Room was clean, cold a/​c was running, and for the area the price was awesome.

The room smelled a bit musty. The AC was not working properly. Only two vents out of four worked. It was pretty warm.
On the positive side the price was fair for the location. Walking distance to the Riverwalk and the Alamo.
Parking is an additional $ 16.00

My parents and I had a horrible experience in this NASTY motel. We wanted to stay close to Alamo and River Walk one night, so we decided to stay at Days Inn. The price for one night was supposed to be $ 60 and we ended up paying $ 100 the following morning!!! We asked how come the price changed and they added different fees and «taxes» that we were not told when booking. The rooms were just dirty! We stayed only one night, so thought that a cheaper motel would be enough, but it was NOT worth the money. I want to make sure that other potential customers and visitor to San Antonio will AVOID this nasty motel.

I’m in a generous mood so I thought I’d give it 2 stars.
Let me say this there are good employees and bad ones… I interacted mainly with good ones. However, my friend said some people in the day crew weren’t so friendly.
Housekeeping ladies were very friendly.
There are two sides to this place. The side that has the front desk. And the other side which is across the street. Rooms are big there but it looks kinda «bates motel» so we chose a smaller room by the front desk.
When we got there the bathroom floor wasn’t clean… the sheets were… It had a nasty smell… But we were desperate.
I must say the tile in the shower was cool.
Breakfast? Limited.
They had a huge crowd that week so they didn’t have enough towels, hand towels, or hand towels.
The ice machine must have gotten overworked so it wasn’t giving ice the last couple days we were there.
It was hot and humid so ice was an important thing!
That’s about it.

This place is terrible. The receptionist was very nice, but she called in someone over who was likely the manager, and she was terrible. She was the farthest thing from the «warm hospitality» the Days Inn claims.
I have a service animal. Before arrival, I called two different times to confirm it would not be an issue. When I got here the manager tried to charge me because they were «allowing» me to bring her in the room. She even suggested that if I don’t want to pay then I should leave my animal in the car, which where I come from is against the law. I told her she was unreasonable and the non-​disclosure of this «pet fee» and an additional parking fee was like a bait and switch. All of that and I was yet to actually see the room.
This room is disgusting. I requested a non-​smoking room and this room reeks of stale cigarettes. The walls are chipped. The TV barely gets any channels. And two of the three electrical outlets do not even work.
Do not stay here. The manager is a cruel monster that suggested that I leave my animal in the car to die and the room leaves me feeling like I’m going to catch some sort of disease. Stay away!!!

Could benefit from some better housekeeping and maintenance. I would give it a One Cockroach. Literally! We came back from dinner on the River and found a 2– incher on the rim of the bathtub. On a brighter note. The room was a good size and the bed was quite comfortable.

Although it’s inexpensive to reserve a room, but they charge $ 16 extra for parking across your door. The rooms itself are in bad condition, they been remodeled lately, but they are simply not had not been cleaned for a while. No windows to be able to open, only window AC which is located by the bed. My point of this review is to let owners know that in the middle of downtown with hundred hotels around it’s mistaken to provide such an unpleasant experience. I would pay extra $ 30 next time and stay somewhere else in San Antonio.

I’m paying around $ 80/​night to stay during a large convention at the Gonzalez convention center a few blocks away. It’s a short walk.
Though the carpet is old, the room is tidy and everything works (except, seemingly, the «free wi-​fi» edit: it works now). My room has a mini fridge and microwave. I have seen no bugs: After reading the other reviews, I had to check for bedbugs and that’s why the covers are pulled back in my picture. The mattress has been encased in a fine mesh, its zipper locked with a ziptie that has an ID number. I think this might mean the reviews have caused Days Inn to try to fix things.
About the price: I think people sort results by price and end up here. This is definitely a budget motel experience, but in a part of town where prices are higher than you might expect. It’s also $ 10/​night for parking.
Edit next morning: I managed to find one power outlet that wouldn’t just drop my plug on the floor. Also, Days Inn surely offers the crappiest continental breakfast in town.
Edit: Actually, the fridge doesn’t work. I hate this place.

Be ready to pay an additional $ 10.38 for parking on their property. This fee is not included when booking online. Their rooms need a major re-​do. For their price & surprised additional fee you are better off staying somewhere else.

AVOID! Arrived at 3:30pm, was told room wasn’t ready and I would have to wait. Lobby bathroom was out of order and was told there was nowhere else to use the bathroom. A gentleman in front of me, with no reservation, was able to pay and get a room immediately. Charged me 10.00 to park and 1.76 to use safe. Staff was extremely unapologetic to whole situation. I would NEVER stay here again… EVER!

The hotel was a great price and in a great area, but the floors were disgusting. In the bathroom there were ceramic tiled floors that went up midway on the walls, and the grout in between the tiles that went up along the wall were a nice beige color but the grout on the floor was black… There was a lot of mildew and mold all in the bathtub area and walls. The carpet in the room just felt moist and gross too. The room we had SERIOUSLY needed a ton of scrubbing, bleach and carpet cleaning.

Undoubting the worst service I every received. It’s almost as if the qualifications to work here are to be a bitter sullen miserable person. The manager is not only very snide, snooty, and condescending but she will actually yell back at you if you give her attitude. They went out of their way to make sure I was unhappy here. And the weekend rates are ridiculous. Never again.

I had to be in San Antonio and decided I would stay an extra night to look around. The location was pretty centralized, close to the mall and the riverwalk. The pictures they have in the website is very misleading. We walked in to our room all I could think of was OMG we are sleeping in this? The smell of the room just burns your nose hairs. They obviously haven’t had the carpet cleaned in who knows how long. You can tell they spot cleaned, I was afraid to use anything from there, I didn’t even want to lay in that bed. Just spend a little extra and stay somewhere else. If you do there is also a $ 10 parking fee.

Great location! Clean room… or so it seemed at first. Roaches were coming out of the drain in the bathtub. Problem was solved by keeping the plug inserted in the drain when not using the shower. But then I found one on the sink and what appeared to be a silverfish on the wall. The opening under the door made it convenient for a huge roach to come in and take shelter from a thunderstorm. It also allowed for mosquitoes to get into the room.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. There’s a reason why the rates here are unusually cheap for its great location.

Not the best but not bad at all, location is pretty good if I must say and for the price I wouldn’t mine staying here again. Had the King Suite and it was actually pretty good it made due for the price and location. Walked to the Majestic to the Alamo and the mall with no problems, AC not bad at all as the bed was comfortable as well.

Avoid this motel if possible.
— Staff was extremely unhelpful and apathetic
— Complementary breakfast was nonexistent
— Parking costs ten dollars a day
— Room cards became disabled every day
— Room door did not close all the way
— Bathroom was disgusting
— All the outlets were very loose (Fire Hazard)
— When we arrived, the room smelled distinctly like mildew
This is some of many more issues with this place, avoid it at all costs.

My biggest complaint about this Days Inn Alamo/​Riverwalk is that the name is misleading. We booked this hotel while on the road… literally. Hubby was driving from Houston and I was on my phone, booking a room for 3. We thought we were getting the closest Days Inn to the Alamo and Riverwalk, which we didn’t. Nor did we get a room that accommodated 3 people. It was very frustrating.
We won’t be staying at any Days Inn hotels again after this road trip.

If you want a cheap night’s stay with zero bells and whistles then this motel is for you.
The big pain was it being located in the Produce District. You will hear a lot of traffic from the highway but it’s the ²⁴⁄₇ non-​stop train horns that will keep you awake.

This place is the worse place I have ever stayed at. The staff seems to know this and does not care. Filthy rugs, filthy bathroom, horrible mildew smell combined with bug spray smell.
Just disgusting.
