Never again

Check in was good, man was funny. AC was broke in hotel. Another woman with red hair at front desk was very rude!!! Valet staff is great, they work very hard. For a Sonesta very disappointed, going back to a 4star and never looking back.

Hotel was in a good location, however paying for parking was very inconvenient, and not stated before booking. During our visit, they turned the water off for 3 hours. some of the front desk staff were rude. Also the free breakfast was only from 6:30 am to 9 am. Not very convenient for guest.

It was an awesome stay, we never got our telephone line working but its okay we had our cellphones. Also the swimming pool was a bit small, but other than that it was an amazing experience, about a 3 min. Walk to the alamo and a 7min. Walk to the Riverwalk. If you ask for roomservice from the moment you check in, it will be done! Valet parking was awesome too, a bit pricey but worth it. We stayed 4 nights and 5 days, we are a family of 3. If you dont mind walking, it is a beautiful experience! Would recommend it to others! Loved it all!

When I booked my room online, 3rd party, nowhere did it say parking was extra. I stayed from Friday to Thursday and had to use their valet service to ensure my rental car was safe being it was in downtown, plus, you would have had to pay outside anyways. The valet service was absolutely amazing, but expensive! For those days of being there, I believe it was somewhere around $230 give or take. My only other real complaint was they say they have a pool. My family and I after driving nearly 27 hours were looking forward to that pool! When my girls went to check it out, it was only 3 1/2 feet deep all the way around and it was small! I'm 6' tall so that's just not going to work for me. We were so disappointed! Other than that, I loved that our room was a suite, that was the main reason I booked with them, because it had the full kitchen and everything so we didn't have to eat out the whole time we were there.

Lackluster

I recently stayed at the Sonesta San Antonio Alamo, and my experience was a mix of highs and lows. The room was well-appointed, clean, and conveniently located. However, the customer service was severely lacking. Check-in and check-out were confusing and frustrating, which overshadowed the positives. Verdict Unfortunately, the poor customer service experience outweighs the hotel's strengths. I wouldn't recommend staying here or return myself. Hopefully, the hotel will address these issues to provide a better experience for future guests.

Not a good place - advise elsewhere

Overall experience 0/10. From the moment we got there the lack of communication, unpleasant, dismissive staff and valet till the end. We were turned away from valet parking because the valet person refused to take our vehicle even though there was clearly parking and another similar vehicle as ours forcing us to have to walk with a 6 year old 3 blocks down the road with alll of our luggage. The receptionist was not even at the front desk to attend, and once she got there she was rude and stated I had to wait for her to do her audit in order to check if our room was still available EVEN THOUGH WE CALLED AHEAD OF TIME. The cleanliness of that hotel was extremely questionable especially the elevator that had pee on the floor and stains on the bed sheets and sofa mattress as well. The dishes that were stored away STILL HAD FOOD ON THEM!!! The 4th floor smelt like a dog just recently had used the restroom on the carport and it was just left to linger.
