The front desk was very sweet. The walls looked like it needed new paint or a good cleaning (black smear marks on walls) and then the bathroom had a lot of rust. Also I don’t know if it’s because of the renovations they had recently or are ongoing but the rooms were very hot even with the AC on we had to request a fan.

Rode in on Amtrak and it's a very short walk from the Amtrak station to the holiday inn rivercenter. We came in around 11 pm but still felt safe waiting to check in. Very friendly staff and excellent clean and spacious rooms. We will definitely return when back in San Antonio

Nice despite renovation

Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Looks like the hotel is going through a renovation, so some areas were a bit dirty/dusty and the common areas were warm. The hot tub was also out of order, which was fine, but having caution tape was a little disconcerting. Location was great for what we needed, but there was some traffic noise. Parking lot is cramped due to construction materials. Staff was nice, and breakfast was hot.
