Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Downtown San Antonio Riverwalk Area

There was nothing great or wrong about the hotel room. I arrived at night and wouldn’t recommend walking around that area alone in the dark . The listing states a $50 security deposit but I was charged a $100 deposit and trip.com customer service agent contacted the hotel on my behalf. I left at 11am and prior to leaving there was 2 separate knocks at the door to serve as reminders check out was at 11am. On the Charming side. Around at 11pm I decided to grab my self an ice bucket which was located on the first floor, after I got my ice bucket and headed towards my room a young mother sat on the stairs smoking a cigarette with her two lil girls. And as I passed I said to the girls “excuse me young ladys” as I got passed them, the young mother apologized and told her there was no need for an apology , smiled and continued on my way . I could hear one of the girls ask her mother why I referred to her as a young lady, the mother replied with because one day your grow up to be a beautiful lady. The lil girls laughed and laughed, which brought forth dad. Asking his family what was all the noise outside about? The girls said with excitement that their mother had said they would grow up to be beautiful … and don’t know what else was said because by that time I entered my room. But the sound of the two “young ladies” laughing and laughing, did make me feel better. When I woke, the day light revealed an industrial area of San Antonio TX I had never seen before. I would stay there again.

Highly recommend You cant beat it for the price. Currently under new mgmt which had much kinder service than previous stays. The rooms are spacious, clean, and bed comfortable. The parking lot is well lit and fenced, and you have to get past the office first so its a little more secure than it could be. Pool was clean and decent (we didnt use it though). Cost us about $20 round trip to the riverwalk in an uber on a saturday night. My only real complaint was that we had two small pillows on a king size bed. Ive stayed ON the riverwalk (in both historic and 5 star places) and will probably never again. Its just not worth the price imo.

Read the app descriptions. A hidden parki g fee was a surprise. The place is run down. Room was clean though
