Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* San Antonio (Airport SAT) Holiday Inn

[texasgirl3]

Well we were hoping this would be the Aloft, which looked very nice and has shown up on this board, but they apparently upgraded the Holiday Inn to 3.5 stars! Hope it can live up to that rating, and glad we didn't book the whole week we were considering doing.

Brief review so far: older hotel, and not bad quality, but would definitely not rate at 3.5 stars. The sleep inn we stayed at in Amarillo the previous night was closer to 3.5 stars--much more luxurious, great breakfast, and very friendly staff.

Pros:

very pet-friendly (all rooms), with $25 pet fee

friendly staff

clean rooms

optional feather pillows of request

mini-fridge & microwave

easy free wifi access

"green" with recycling bin in room

Cons:

old CRT TV, dated, worn furniture

rather worn appearance of halls (room looks a little better)

AC not very cold even when set at 69--feels more like 74

Overall: not bad for the price

My husband had a medical emergency and had to go to the hospital by ambulance. The staff here has been incredibly nice and offering any assistance we might need. (Maybe I can get our hotwire rate extended?)

Sorry to hear about your husband... hope everything is ok and he's fine/doing better.

Since the hotel has been helpful i would speak to them directly regarding the rate if you were to extend your stay.
