Red Roof Inn PLUS+ San Antonio Downtown - Riverwalk
Staff was super friendly and great. Room was clean and comfy. My only issue was the highway outside was loud. I don't know if there really is anyway to help cancel the noise. I just turned up the tv. 😁 convenient to downtown, especially if you don't want to stay downtown and over paid.

The breakfast was not very good. It was obvious it was just heated up and placed out for everyone. More variety would be nice.
