Comfort Inn Alamo/Riverwalk San Antonio

Frommer's Review

I'm no expert on the Comfort Inn chain, but I've been in enough of the lodgings to know that this one is nothing like the rest. First and foremost, it occupies the old Bexar (pronounced bear) County Jail, and is a regular hotel with indoor corridors and a front desk at the entrance. But what really impressed me about the place was the cleanliness and the comfort of the rooms. The hotel is only 2 years old, but even in such a short time, poor housekeeping can show. But there are no signs of that here, and there was no smell of disinfectant, which can be pervasive in inexpensive lodgings. The bathrooms were also a surprise -- a little larger and much more attractive than the usual at this price level, with such touches as polished granite countertops. The largest rooms come with two queen beds, and are quite comfortable. Other options are a king bed and the studio king. All rooms are nonsmoking. Service here is friendly and attentive.

Being under the Comfort Inn label, you might find this property discounted by some of the hotel room vendors. The location is good, in the western part of downtown San Antonio, about three blocks from the River Walk.

Facilities:
Outdoor heated pool; Jacuzzi; business center; laundry/dry cleaning; coin-op washer/dryer
