Excellent Stay for Lackland AFB visitors!!
My wife, son and I stayed at this Microtel (Lackland AFB) from Jan 11 - 14th. We were accompanied by my cousin and his wife who stayed in the room across the hall on the 2nd floor. We were all so happy to have chosen this hotel. Check in is a breeze as Eloy made us feel like family the moment we walked in. Brenda was also awesome in answering any questions we had and recommended some "cool" places to eat and visit. Now I'll tell you about the building itself.
Microtel Inn & Suites: This is a brand new building since they opened this past November. The place is very nice and clean. The continental breakfast offers 3 diff. cereals (cheerios, raison brand, and frosted flakes). Toast and bagels and 2 waffle irons to make fresh waffles.
Coffee (very good) as well as apple, orange and a couple of other bevs. avail. too. Yogurt is also available.
Room: I stayed in a suite which has a pull out sofa bed. My 21 year old son slept on it and said it was fine. My wife and I both liked our beds firmness, not too firm not too soft. Pillows were fine with both of us. Our room had a small fridge, microwave and small sink with nice granite counter. My cousin and his wife also liked every thing in their room. Bathroom was nice and clean, nothing fancy just the basics. Soap and towels provided, towels still in good shape. Television is at least a 42" flat screen with plenty of channels...very nice. Walls a little thin as one night one of our neighboring rooms had a little party going on. Iron and board also provided and hair dryer in bathroom.
Location; This place is on the outer west loop (16) a couple of miles south of Sea World. It's on the west side of the Loop rd. with acess to it only from the south bound lanes. We went to see my other son graduate from basic training at Lackland AFB. It took a ten minute drive to the bases gate without traffic. Thursday mornings orientation at the base was at 7 a.m. (traffice was very bad getting in to the base Thurs. only. Took us about 35 minutes to get into the base. Traffic on Friday, Sat. and Sun. was a lot better. This place is about 20 to 25 minutes from the Riverwalk in downtown S.A. and 7 to 10 min. to Sea World or Six Flags.
We highly recommend this hotel for people stay in. Remember this is not a fancy large hotel. It has a nice outdoor pool and jacuzzi....just don't expect the Four Seasons. If your a snob, don't stay here. If your a working family, you will be very happy if you stay here. Facilities are excellent as is the entire staff. A 5 star hotel for a small hotel and price. If you fly in to San Antonio you want to rent a car to get around. Someone told us they were charged $75 by a taxi from the airport to the hotel.
We will be staying here next time we visit San Antonio and my cousin and his wife feel the same. 
Thanks Microtel for making our stay a pleaseant experience.
P.S. My wife was sick with sore throat and fever when were arrived. I took her to a Clinic named "Texas Medical Clinic". Also highly recommended in case of need.
