First of all, the staff were not welcoming at all. We arrived on time, and they told us the room would be ready around 4:30 PM. I didn’t accept that, and suddenly the room was ready in 15 minutes.
The breakfast wasn’t great. We don’t eat pork, and the breakfast menu had two main pork items. So I had only bagel and waffle which is not my favorite.
I would stay there again only for the location.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Tru by Hilton San Antonio Downtown this past weekend.
My first room had a clogged sink and I woke up to multiple roaches in the bed and bathroom. I documented everything with photos and videos. I reached out to General Manager Charles Marshall by email, but I still have not received any response.
I was moved to another room on the second night, but by that point the stay was already unacceptable. No one addressed the cleanliness issues or the lack of proper housekeeping, even though I was told rooms are cleaned every two days.
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had, and I’m extremely dissatisfied with the lack of urgency or customer service. I would appreciate a proper resolution, refund, or compensation for the inconvenience and unsanitary conditions.

Está excelentemente ubicado, los cuartos tienen buen acabado y al menos en el que nos quedamos no tenía desperfectos, el problema que veo es que el vallet parking es muy caro, y tuve algo de problemas para poder pedir por mi auto ya que si no haces la petición a través de la aplicación online no lo pueden traer

This is the second time staying at this location and probably 10 times at Tru in total. We always have had good experiences. This time was no different. The staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and cold. Breakfast was hot! What else is needed. Thanks for always making the trip easier!
