Courtyard San Antonio Airport

Courtyards are always a solid choice, and this one worked for us. We needed a place for one night before we moved on to another hotel, and being close to the airport, this was an easy choice.
Its less than a mile from the airport, and after we called for the free hotel shuttle it was there in ten minutes. Nice room, excellent free wifi, roomy bathroom with good shower pressure and temp, nice desk/​work station, nice deck overlooking the pool, and a nice flat-​screen tv, Our room rate was $ 95 plus $ 16 in taxes.
Two things I want to mention — One side of one bed was ridiculously close to a wall, so exiting will require you to stand sideways, suck in the old gut, and creep outwards.
Secondly, when the AC kicks in, the noise can be quite detrimental to your sleep!

Do not stay here. This hotel is the worst merriot ive ever stayed at and the expirence we had with this hotel is ridiculous. The staff is rude and snobby attitude. The rooms are easilly the most rundown hotel room i have ever stayed in. The rooms have these strange sliding glass doors in them as windows that open but they open to nothing… just a strip of mud looking into the parking lot. I wouldnt stay here again if someone paid me to. The money we paid for this room is noy worth what we are getting. The restroom in the hotel rooms are strange and feel more like a senior retirement restroom. Strange seat in the shower that has no base or tub, just like a gym shower with a curtian. The only good thing i can say about this hotel is that the ac works well, but i have nothing else nice to say. This is the most rundown, overly priced, unfriendly and over rated merriot i have ever stayed at and i garentee you that this will be my first and last day here, and this will be the first of many dissapointing reviews i write about this merriot. We always stay at merriots and have never had any issues with them before, but this one hotel is seriously making me think twice about ever spending any more money on another merriot again, which is dissapointing. What a let down after a long car ride. Stay elsewhere.
I don’t understand why we were given a handicap excessable room when 1 we aren’t handicap 2 we didn’t ask for a handicap excessable room and 3 the hotel obviously isn’t at capacity. It doesn’t make any sense.

Not sure what I expected from an airport hotel. I’ve had worse, but small rooms, TV with few channels, and the noise. So. Much. Noise. Guess that’s the downside of being so close to the airport…
On the positives it’s clean and recently renovated. WiFi is decent for free Marriott connectivity.
Just kinda meh. A place to lay your head and get business done, but nothing to get too excited about.

One of my top recommendations is asking a chef, what on their menu are they most passionate about. As someone that is always on the road, I admire someone that is as passionate about there work as myself. This chef is nothing short but passionate, his dessert brownie, ribs, and burgers are his favorite things as you can tell by his expression. If you get one of these things after a long day of travel, youre promised he will deliver.
At the end of the day, it’s a hotel but its one of the best services, food, and atmosphere I’ve had at a courtyard.

I have never been so happily surprised by a hotel! I wasn’t expecting much, and while everything isn’t state of the art here, they excel in what is important!
1. Foooood! They have a lovely lounge with great wine, brews, cocktails and delicious food! It was totally reasonably priced for a hotel, which is awesome! The chef\bartender/waiter informed me that he made the salsa for the chicken quesadilla from scratch that morning. It tasted delicious, and was also served with fresh sliced avocado. Whoa! And only $ 8!
2. The most flawless service ever. The front desk girl was adorable, efficient, and made me feel at home! The guy who did the airport shuttle was also awesome!
Thanks guys! I will be choosing Courtyard for my future business travels!

This hotel is pathetically bad. When we checked in, we got a rude attitude from an employee named Mia… then we left shopping… came back our fridge was not working. again attitude… it is recommended that you don’t come here. Their lobby is their attraction. Will not stay here… pricey and bad service. congrats to the owners for hiring such help.

The room was nice the A/​C was cold and nice which is a plus for this hot hot weather in San Antonio. The location is not bad at all and there’s plenty of restaurants near by. That’s the good part the bad part is that the internet sucks, I mean sucks horribly. My phone a d laptop only had speeds of about .50 mgs down and .30 up. That is terrible for a hotel at minimal 1 mgs is substantially better and seeing that att is their provider I can not take that is the reason it sucks. Everything is fine about this hotel but Internet is bad. You have to pay 4.95 usd for «faster Internet». The McDonald’s next door gets 4mgs down and 1 up. To top it all off my room was by the pool which is beautiful by the way, but we found people having sex in it. What the F, they did send someone to get them out but the internet was a huge let down. All I need is Internet access at reasonable speed you know 1 mgs, clean, room, water, toilet, fridge, microwave, bed, a/​c and breakfast and I’m golden. Tv channels weren’t great I wanted to watch UFC on fox sports 1 but I couldn’t and the internet was bad so I had to Hotspot my phone just to access Internet. In fact at this moment I’m using my wireless network to do this review only because I’m afraid it won’t post. I had a lot of work to do and the internet was a huge let down. Sad face. However if Internet and channels aren’t your thing than this is a great hotel. Great staff also.

no bottled water! need i say more! when i asked the front desk they blamed it on pepsi

My first stay at this location and I would give it a 4^th star for cleanliness and nice staff but good grief — I was stung by a black hornet in my room. And if earlier in the night, may not have been as awful but it happened around 11pm. Was stuck awake for a few hours nursing it with cool rags (felt like a blow torch) making it a tad difficult hitting 9 hrs of intense software training next day cranky and tired.
Other than that, lobby does smell like gardenias, they serve Starbucks but ran out of half & half and 2% for coffee before 730a? It’s also strange they only make grande iced drinks? But overall, was clean and staff friendly even if I got little sleep and only a tiny coffee to start the day :(

Clean and comfy! The lobby smells like gardenias and is super trendy. Great place to gather for a drink or a quick bite.

At this price point, it’s my favorite place to stay in SA that’s near the airport. You can usually get a room for less than $ 100/​night. Room, bed quality, pool, lobby bar/​snacks, other basic facilities are much higher quality than the nearby competitors where I’ve stayed. Right near the 410 freeway (Broadway exit). Short drive to restaurants at the Quarry and along Broadway & in Alamo Heights. Some reviewers mentioned the airplane noise — I didn’t even notice it but YMMV depending on your noise sensitivity.

I knocked down two stars because of one incident. Yes, it freaked me out that much and I might be a little dramatic but whatever.
I checked in my room and lo and behold there is somebody else in my room with their slippers just happily watching tv. AHHHHHHHH. I ran down the hallway banging on my friend’s door pleading for help incase that person wanted to drag me in and kill me.
We went downstairs, told the front desk, they moved us and gave us free Starbucks the next morning. Thank you. That was very nice and wonderful of you attempting service recovery BUT that should have NEVER happened in the first place.
Friendly staff, awesome shuttle, clean lobby, and wonderful room. But my first impression was not exactly the best.
I’m going to have to check-​in again soon due to circumstances but this time, please don’t give me a roommate, I’m find sleeping alone, thank you.

Awesome staff and good room. Was stranded in San Antonio due to cancelled flight thanks to the weather. Was dropped off at different location that was full but they shuttled our group over to this location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, recommended awesome Mexican restaurant for us, set us up with some toiletries since we were on a day trip with no baggage. Next morning the airline cancelled my flight yet again but managed to put me on an earlier flight. Staff had shuttle turn around mid trip… come back and get our group. Can’t say enough about the AWESOME staff!

After reading reviews, we were skeptical about being placed in a room on the airport side, and the front desk staff was hesitant at first (probably because we had reserved on a discount web site,) but they did place us on the far side and the noise did not bother us. Joanna is right – if you select an airport hotel for the cheaper rate, expect some noise and bring earplugs. We didn’t have earplus but both slept soundly in the most comfortable bed ever! We’re planning to come back to visit our friends here, and this will be our first choice again, partly because it is between their home in Boerne and the goregeous and active downtown area. Well done, management and team!

I crack up a little at the reviews kvetching about airport noise… ummm…you’re staying at the Courtyard San Antonio AIRPORT. As in, it’s close to the airport. Where there are airplanes that take off and land. Regularly. That’s what happens near an airport.
So expect some noise — bring earplugs if you’re sensitive.
With that out of the way, this is definitely an older property that looks somewhat recently renovated. Expect the dreaded and awful connecting doors — I’m always convinced the person in the next room has figured out how to get that door open & is watching me sleep. Air-​con units are older & louder.
That said, my room was clean & comfortable. There’s the standard Courtyard amenities including business center, workout room and bar/​restaurant (open limited hours). There are a few restaurants within walking distance — Chilis, a Thai place & McD’s. I did see a huge sign for something called the «Magic Time Machine»
Restaurant on the other side of the freeway so there’s that.
For me, the property is probably 3 stars but the staff is pretty great, which pushes the review up to 4. Especially the shuttle driver who was pulling a double shift & took me to the airport at 4am with a smile. Great customer care!

The hotel itself is decent. The front desk staff is courteous, the shuttle is prompt, the rooms are clean with comfortable beds. That being said, you become VERY aware that you are in an airport hotel when you are awakened at 5:00 am to the noise of jet engines. Make sure you have earplugs and you’ll have a nice stay.

Don’t let the front desk put you on the airport side… you’ll get awakened by cargo flight departures starting about 5 am!!! When I went to bed, I immediately got a whiff of mildew and/​or smoke… stuffed me up… not sure what it was, but it needed a deep cleaning of the bed linens!

This Courtyard Marriott is a disgrace to the Marriott name. It smells of smoke though nonsmoking, there is limited handicap parking, there are restaurant ads under my door to greet me… I feel like I am in a rent-​by-​the-​hour hotel. I used to associate Marriott with quality, I won’t make that mistake again.

Good remodel !!
Love the lobby, dining area. Breakfast is not complimentary but great upgrades to the menu.
Opt for a room of the second floor overlooking the pool.
–Guest access parking only, need a key card to get in
–Print your birding pass in the lobby.

Absolutely lovely! We had a really nice stay here. 2 of us in one suite and then 2 of us in the suite nearby. It costs less to stay here than elsewhere. Our rooms had balconies overlooking the pool, which was quiet and pretty clean. The hot tub was dirty and turned off, but who wants to sweat in a Texas hot tub anyway?
