Convenient, clean, comfortable, but shabby
I checked into the Courtyard after a late arrival at San Antonio airport and before renting a car to drive to visit family. The free shuttle was a major factor in choosing this hotel and did not disappoint - I had speedy and friendly service to the hotel from the airport and to the rental car lot. I got what I needed - a clean comfortable place to get a good night's sleep. Thus, the courtyard and pool didn't matter to me.
On the good side, the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, and not much light leakage, so I got my good night's sleep. On the bad side, there was visible wear all around the room - worn furnishings, chipped doors, and a bit of rust visible in the bathroom. I also wasn't crazy about the locations of light switches - I did a bit of stumbling around in the dark. The cafe in the lobby looked nice and with a good menu, but overpriced in my opinion. So I walked over to the McDonalds next door for breakfast. Altogether, I give this hotel an Average rating - which is too bad - most Courtyards rate an Above Average from me.
