What guests think

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Downtown Northeast near Fort Sam Houston draws mixed reviews, offering easy access to the base and downtown but recurring concerns about cleanliness, room upkeep, and the reliability of basic utilities.

Many guests mention courteous front-desk staff, though housekeeping and responsiveness to requests vary. Breakfast ranges from very limited or not restocked to acceptable, and several reviews note the pool is closed or filled in. Rooms feel dated, with reports of smoke odors and firm mattresses, while others found them quiet or larger than expected. Overall, expect a no-frills stay with convenient access but uneven standards.

We chose this property based on the hot breakfast and pool… they canceled their breakfast and didn’t notify us so we could re-budget our trip. The pool pictures looked beautiful online just for us to get there and see that they filled it in with dirt.

This stay was conveniently located in SA. River walk is 7-10 min drive. I’ve stayed at decent Econo Lodges before. This one was pretty run down. We had gotten a smoking room but we don’t smoke. Which was fine with us however when we looked in the room the fire alarm was ripped off of the ceiling. I guess that’s what made it a smoking room. The doors looked like someone punched holes in them once upon a time. Stains were on the carpet as well. I told my friend it felt like very bad things happened in that room. The energy was thick with it. We didn’t even have a room number, it had been ripped off. The pool… omg… the pool had been filled in with grass and dirt but the here was lounge chairs still out by it which we thought was hilarious. We also woke up the next day and the door to the outside was open. This freaked us out. The smell of cigarettes was seeping out of the walls and curtains. It was terrible and worse than any smoking room I’ve ever agreed to stay in. We would probably stay here again due to convenience and cheap price . We like to go out and only need to lay our heads down. There were no bugs and the shower worked well which is a plus. We will definitely not be getting a smoking room though.

Have a son in Army. Chose The inn Because of its location to Main gate of the Fort Sam and pet friendly. The room- CLEAN & spacious King bed, surprisingly full coach with coffee table, unusual.. But the room service was excellent. cleaned made bed resupplied towels and condiments every day of a three day stay, which reveled any upscale hotel. breakfast was limited but good.Was compelled to leave tip for service, which was well deserved. Hope all visitors enjoy the same. thx to the staff Rey & Rosie (woof - woof) ps. the water in the pool was iffy but I was'nt swimming

Room appeared clean. But its not. The pull out couch had a used bed sheet still on it. Then when we were leaving I pulled all the bed sheets off and the waterroof mattress covered hadnt been changed looks like months. Had tons of crumbs. Blood stains and yellow stains. Just nasty and cant believe we slept on that sheet. It was covered by another sheet so we didnt see it until I pulled all the sheets off. You get what you pay for. Cheap room, cheap place. Their "Continental breakfast" was stale fruit loops. Pakcaged muffins and honey buns, one waffle maker. Just sucked. I should of known better though for the cheaper price. This was only half of my experience. Ugh.

Bathtub was filthy with dirty water stains. The room had no AC unit and the space it belongs was left open so that the only thing between the inside of the room and the outside was a large but thin long vent near the door. You could see to the outside and hear everyone walking through the hall through the vent. Most surfaces were visibly covered in dust and dirt. I cleaned the sink area and the white towel came back brown. Ceiling lights were duct taped in place. It almost seemed like the room I was given was under construction and not ready for people.

We booked this hotel for a last-minute trip to San Antonio. We arrived at approx 10pm and went straight to the room after check-in. Not long after, we realized the room needed a good cleaning, as it appeared dusty and dirty on the beds and flooring. My 14 yr old son, a boy (one of the dirtiest things on the planet), asked if we could have the room cleaned. The next morning, I asked the staff, and they said they'd take care of it. We returned to the hotel late the next evening, only to realize the room was still disgusting. I DO NOT recommend this place at all.

This is an example of exactly how you will suffer for saving money. I reserved this hotel because it was only 5 minutes from a bodybuilding event that we both competed in this weekend. It was in the 40’s and their heater only blew out cold air and their hair dryer did not work. My poor soulmate was freezing and she had to sleep with her coat and clothes on. My body went into violent cramping last night because of exhaustion from the competition and the coldness of the room. The hotel attendant came and verified that the heater did not work and he offered for us to use the next room but we were too exhausted to do so. The only saving grace was that they had hot water but my poor gf had wet hair due to a broken hair dryer! This was our worst hotel experience together because my soulmate suffered because of the lack of heat.

We were there for 3 nights and after the room was never cleaned. On the second day we asked that it be cleaned. It was not although housekeeping did mark it as cleaned so the front desk insisted it had been until I showed them the room and then they couldn't deny it any more. The shower also did not work and only had cold water. The toilet also leaked at times. This was actually our second room as we had to switch cause the door did not work for the first room. Also, several lights did not work either.

$190 for a night. Broken light fixtures. Old microwave with 1970s dials. Weak Wi-Fi signal. Had to keep relighting in my laptop. It’s Econo Lodge I get that but why is every low range hotel in SA 200-300 a night?

Nice basic breakfast. Room was clean. Check in was easy and quick. No carpet was a surprise but understandable. Good place to stay. If we come this way again we will stay here again.

I was charged for 2 rooms set under 1 reservation, confirmation guaranteed and all, and upon check in, the hotel clerk couldn’t find my second room. Apparently at his end it showed I only had reserved 1 room. So how come my confirmation and total pre paid rooms were for two?? Trying to save money and paying upfront for rooms doesn’t seem like a good idea if at the end they can’t find what you paid for. Even if you have your receipt to prove it. Clerk not very helpful. Total Scam!
