This hotel has the friendliest and most helpful staff that I have encountered in a long time. Everyone was the ultimate professional and totally interested in the well-being of the guests. The hotel's continental breakfast was decent, and every evening they have wine and cheese in the lobby. The room was clean and comfortable, although obviously there is nothing luxurious here. (Why do most hotels have these drafty wall- mounted air conditioners)? The property is only a couple of blocks from Market Square, which at least this time of year, didn't have much going on at night except for a couple of good Mexican restaurants. There is a one dollar trolley that stops every ten minutes a block from the hotel, so there is easy access to the downtown riverwalk and other attractions.

The hotel was convenient to downtown San Antonio and very close to the Market Square. The front desk people were very helpful and friendly. We felt that they were doing everything to make our stay the best they could. Thank you!

This hotel has not been very well kept up, paint missing from the door frames and broken tile in the bathroom. The bathroom had someone else's hair in the tub prior to even being used by my family. They claim to have a heated indoor pool, but, it was so cold that we could not stand to be in it. If you plan on feeding your family with the free breakfast, dont count on it. They have maybe 8-10 tables in the breakfast area and if you are there on a busy weekend you will never get a table. They had the maintenance guy cooking the free waffles and he had a huge list of requests for others requesting waffles and although we were down there at 930am for breakfast, he stated that there was no way that he would get our waffles made before they closed at 10am. This happened on both days of our stay. So unless you plan on going down to breakfast really early, dont plan on eating there. They do offer other stuff like yogurt and breakfast sandwiches, but, they were out of those also and not to mention out of coffee.

This Fairfield reminded me why I am such a big fan of TripAdvisor. Normally, people tend to think of Fairfield as the inferior brand to Courtyard and had it not been for my use of TripAdvisor I would have stayed at the Courtyard. But the reviews for the Fairfield were right on, one of the best hotel experiences and outstanding value.
Upon check-in I was upgraded to a suite because of my Marriott status. It is without a doubt the nicest value-priced hotel suite I have ever stayed in. A separate living and sleeping area. An entertainment center complete with a stereo cd-player. Two televisions and a spacious work area.
Breakfast is comparable to what you get at a Courtyard for $10. Location is not bad at all, quick drive to the Riverwalk. My regret is that I only had 1 night to stay. No matter what the reason for my next trip to San Antonio, I will be here again.
