This La Quinta is right off I-35N & Loop 410 East at Rittiman - easy to get to the highway and to downtown. It is also very close to a very active railroad track! If you are a train lover or travel with kids that love to watch the trains go by, this La Quinta is perfect for you (see pic!). At night, when you are sleeping, you WILL certainly hear them go by because of the loud whistles! This motel is also very close to many fast food places: Burger King, Mc D, Jack in the Box, Taco Cabana, Popeye's, Bill Miller BBQ. A few restaurants are also around. The free breakfast is very good: Kolaches, fresh waffles, muffins, pastries, hard-boiled eggs; breads, cereal, oatmeal; juices, hot chocolate, coffee, and milk. However, get to the breakfast early, otherwise you may not get to eat your favorites. A big running track belonging to a church is also adjacent to the motel. My husband used it for his exercise. Our room (2 beds) was nice, La Quinta standard & clean. It was not quite old, but probably will need some update (e.g. new toilet seat, shower head) in a few years. We had plans to celebrate the New Year at the River Walk, but decided to cancel the plan. We stayed for 2 nights and checked out 3 days early because of several things: I could not sleep very well because of the trains (however, my husband said he slept fine, and same with our young children); there was also a big football game that brought a lot of visitors to San Antonio and of course to the River Walk. We do not mind the New Year crowd, but with this SUPERSIZED crowd at the River Walk - no thanks! However, we enjoyed the Witte museum and Sea World (1st time opened til Dec 31). The price we paid for this La Quinta was a bargain, but since I could not sleep well, we will not come back to this motel. We will stay at a different La Quinta.
