The hotel is standard for a fairfield inn. Hotel seemed new, or at least recently renovated. Rooms were clean and looked fresh. Everything else is about what you expect from a Fairfield Inn. The locations is great as it is very close to the Alamo and other attractions in downtown San Antonio.
On the other hand, if you visit this hotel plan on valet parking your car as the only option (for $21). Neither the valet nor the receptionist were very helpful in pointing out different parking lots where we could leave the car overnight. The other thing is that if you room happen to be on the side of the nightclub across the street (bonham exchange) then you might as well go clubbing because that's how it is going to feel like in your room.
The worst part though was when I tried to ask for a late checkout and was told that since few guests have asked for it already that it can't be granted. Mind it that I am a Marriott Rewards Gold Elite and that I am guaranteed late checkout. When I pointed that out, the receptionist indicated that she could give me a check out at 12:30 PM (regular check out at 12)!! Pathetic!
Staying at the Residence Inn across the street seems like the better option. They have their own garage and late checkout or the noise from the night club seemed less of an issue.
