Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza

Only downside of this hotel is the parking is valey only. Other than that, their location is perfect and we had a wonderful stay even if it was only one night. I also liked the hotel has laundry rooms in different floors. It is not much but it is a great difference when you are traveling with a toddler for a long time. Any way, I can easily recommend this hotel. If you are okay with puplic parking while staying which I believe will cost almost 75% of the hotels valey price, you don't have to pay for private parking either.

The two bedroom layout was nice and spacious. It also came with a pull out couch, which we did use. The issue with that was, the blanket for that smelled pretty bad. When asking for a replacement at the front counter, they were all out and gave us a bedsheet. Maybe my fault for asking late, i assumed they’ll have plenty extras. I asked again the next morning and they were able to drop a new one off and it smelled clean. Overall a good hotel, the pricing a bit much but you get privacy, free breakfast and you are a 5min walk from the Alamo.

The service at this hotel was poor. We were traveling as a family of four and stayed for four nights. Each morning we had to request fresh towels at the front desk for showering, and despite our requests no one ever showed up to collect our used towels or to change the trash so they just piled up. The front desk staff wasn’t overly friendly with the exception of Elijah, who was consistently smiling, pleasant, and helpful. The breakfast buffet options were identical all four days, and on some days they were missing any type of breakfast meat, coffee creamer, etc. It was a disappointing stay.

Location is good close to highway and downtown. The room was spacious and perfect for a small group staying together. Get to breakfast early because they will run out.

Very good location to the downtown tourist attractions… Easily walking distance to the Alamo, the Square, the Riverwalk, and the boat tours. The pool was packed the whole time we were there, so that wasn’t a huge draw like we thought it would be… Breakfast ended at nine sharp, so don’t sleep in and try to get there at 9:10, you won’t get anything. I mean, who eats breakfast at 8 o’clock in the morning on vacation??

Place was clean and staff was accommodating. Riverwalk was a 5 minute walk and the Alamo just a couple of block away. They charge for parking but there is plenty of street parking and it’s pretty safe. The one thing they can improve on is breakfast but it can get you by. Coffee was great
