Rodeway Inn Lackland AFB - Sea World - San Antonio

Average everything except wifi! Needs better wifi!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although I am a firm believer in the theory that you get what you pay for - I must admit that the fact that the walls in the room had been "patched" but no painting had been done on top of the patching was a surprise. The site was chosen because of it's close proximity to the AFB - only having to be in it to sleep was the only + regarding this venue. […] Lesson learned - pay attention/research online reviews before ever booking a motel room again! The only redeeming quality this location has is a free continental breakfast snack. Read more

Overall, for what it is not too bad. Room wasn't too clean, needed vacuuming. Bathroom was not to clean either. Bed lines were stained and dingy. Glad I was only there 1 night. Never again. Service was excellent. Woman at counter at check in wa very nice and helpful. Just the room was horrible.

There were issues with the toilet and sink that were never totally resolved. However, the room was reasonably clean and the staff was very friendly. As I was visiting my daughter who graduated from Basic Training at Lackland AFB this room was a good choice as it was only five minutes away. And saving some money meant I could spend more on her.

This hotel met minimal expectations. It was adequite but little frills. Staff was pleasant and in most part met our needs. We fell that it is a bit over-priced for what is there.

Genuine Expedia guest review

So I serched Hotelsdotcom reviews for something economical but nice. Every hotel seems to have reviews at both ends of the extreems. This place had at least as good or slightly better average score as others in the price range, and the pictures looked nice.... Pictures can be decieving. OK the good: -It was close to Lackland. -The room was clean. -It […] had the amenities advertized (although I had trouble with the wifi). -The room was large with nice couch and chair. The bad: -Although it's had some fresh paint, this place is old and tired. The room and vanity outside the bathroom proper had been updated but the bathroom was "rode hard & put away wet". A little peeling paint where the curtain couldn't keep the shower spray out. Fixtures that were ready to fall off. (admittedly it was at least kept clean). -As someone commented the AC sounds like a swamp cooler. When it's 99 degrees and 138% humidity the condensate runs like a river day and night ( you can hear it). I don't know if this could be fixed in this environment. -Worst of all was the neighborhood and the other clientele. I've never been at any place where people sit on the curb or the back of their pickup truck drinking (outside their rooms). There were some out every time we drove/walked past. Never wnated to go to the (small) pool. They need to change their rules. Read more

This is an older hotel and is not fancy. The staff was ready to do whatever needed to accommodate our needs and make our stay enjoyable within their limitations. The rooms were roomy enough and the vanity area was separate from the toilet/tub/shower area which I really liked. Water pressure was amazing - always good in a shower! There was microwave […] and small fridge in each room which was an added bonus. Continental breakfast was just that - cereal, waffles, pastries, juice and coffee. The pool was not huge, but very clean and our family enjoyed the use of it daily. It was very close to the base and met our needs perfectly for traveling back and forth for the Lackland BMT activities. Price was right for this hotel and it fit our needs perfectly. Read more

Older motel, but very comfortable and clean. Staff very accomodating and pleasant. Stayed 4 nights..Location was perfect for Lackland Air Force graduation.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was near my intended destination, accesible and clean. Nothing above the normal, another cheap cave to stay on bussiness.

The people who run this hotel were wonderful. They went above and beyond to accomodate my needs.

My daughter and I selected this hotel due to proximity to the base; as we attended my son's graduation from basic training and. Most events required very early morning arrivals. The room reeked of urine when we entered, air conditioning felt more like a swamp cooler and shower water was scalding hot or cold with no in between. Was told by management […] problem would be fixed,but when we arrived back at night it was the same. Manager stated to me (after I contacted him) that they called a plumber but couldnt come out till next day. We left next a.m. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is clean and convenient- especially if you need to be close to Lackland.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Lobby clerk was very quick to give directions to base for basic graduation/nearby restaurants/and downtown. Motel had a "Psycho" feel, but I wouldn't let that deter me from a good nights rest, economical/ecologic convenient location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Proximity to Lackland AFB is excellent once you get used to the San Antonio highway system of access roads, also easy to get to the beltway and Rt. 90 for sightseeing purposes. Room was comfortable, cozy beds, nice hot showers, great waffle maker in the breakfast room. If you're looking for a no-frills place to set up for a BMT graduation visit this […] is a good deal.

This hotel is gross dirty. We stayed 2 nights and housekeeping showed up at 530 pm to clean our room and give us clean towels. You could tell the bathroom had not had its floor clean in a while. The coffee pot didnt work in the room and we had a hard time getting hot water to shower in. The only reason we did not leave is because there were no hotels […] open for miles around. Read more

All I can say is...you get what you pay for...At least the air conditioner worked and it was conveniently located close to the Air Force Base.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

close to seaworld, lackland ...but the holiday inn was right next door and looked much nicer. we had a dead cock roach in the room. older hotel with a very small pool, cheap though. If I go back I'll stay next door and pay more.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel staff was pleasent. Other than that I should have paid a few more dollars to be comfortable. It was ants near the microwave and my wife was bitten by bed bugs. I did not feel safe at this site. I wouldn't recommend this place to my enemy. I give it a 1 overall.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was nice and quiet even with the airplanes going over our heads I give it 2 thumbs up.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you are going to graduation at Lackland Airforce Base and are on a strict budget this hotel is for you. It is very old but the owners keep it up. It isn't fancy but it is very close to the base and the place was clean. My son enjoyed just coming back to the hotel and relaxing. The roads in San Antonio are awful. They are so confusing. We were glad […] to be so close to the base and the low prices allowed us to take the whole family and have two rooms. Read more

this is a good place to stay if your here for graduation. really close to the bmt center.

Convenience to Base was great. Surrounding neighborhood - ok. Had trouble with key for the door. Received another key, still had trouble then was moved to another room. Mgmt was very nice throughout the key ordeal, but just a pain to have to deal with.

They changed one of our rooms to a smoking room, and when we requested to be moved back to a non-smoking room they charged us an addtional fee. Also, the refrigerator wasn't working they tried to fix it the next day, it worked for awhile and then stopped working. The refrigerator was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel, because we have young […] children. Read more

We went down for my daughters graduation at Lackland AFB. This place was very close to base easy to get there. The staff was WONDERFUL They kept us informed about every thing going on. They also provided directions to and from base, places to eat and the local shopping. Overall We would recommed to anyone that is going for graduation.

You will enjoy your stay at this convenient facility if you are attending BMT Graduation at Lackland AFB. The staff is eager to supply any needs you may have. The rooms are cleaned everyday and the cleaning staff are enjoyable to chat with. It's just minutes away from any shopping needs and resturants to meet all taste. We will certainly stay at this […] facility should we have the opportunity to return to San Antonio. Read more

Could not ask for better hospitality! Every one of the employees we came in contact with were extremely helpful and friendly. This is an older hotel with some problems and our stay was not without issues but each one was addressed immediately and they offered their own personal beverages for our 1 year old when their soda machine was out of juice and […] water. I would definitely recommend, not if you're looking for 5 star accommodations, but if you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep! It was also very close to Lackland, only about a 5 minute drive. Read more

We stayed at this Rodeway, for 5 nights to attend my sons AF Basic Training Graduation. The close proximity to the base worked well with the numerous events we attended. The staff was very polite and helpful. Our requests for extra towels and missing coffee packs were responded to immediately. The front desk was very helpful with directions and locating […] a cork screw. There were not a lot of restaurants in the area but many good ones within a short drive. Read more

This is not the Ritz, but it does get the job done, it is close to Lackland AFB and it is quiet. If all you need is a place to crash and get a little something to eat before you head out, this motel fits the bill. And the little Texas shaped waffles are cute.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Crowne Plaza desk personnel were snobbish, rude and unhelpful, they charged $10 per day for WiFi!! As if!! That's comparable to charging me for the air I breath! Compared to them, Rodeway was very sweet and helpful and WiFi, altho not wireless, was free! The continental breakfast was also $14 at Crowne and free at Rodeway. I would recommend Rodeway […] even though it is quite a bit older and not as "high brow" as Crowne, I enjoyed my stay there much more than Crowne Plaza. Read more

The first night we arrived check in was good, I was a bit hesitant to what the room might look like because of some previous reviews I had read, but it was in good condition, each room has a microwave and a small fridge, so that was good. The second night, when we returned from Sea World, the room was not made, I called the front desk and was told that […] the housekeeping had posted that they had cleaned it, but the trash was all piled up and the beds were not made. The person at front desk said I could go and get some fresh towels and some bags to take out the trash myself. I went but only to pick up the fresh towels, he said he would stop by shortly to take out trash, and he did, I was upset but also appreciated the fact that he went and took the trash out, he also said that he would check with housekeeping to see why they posted that they had cleaned the room when in fact it wasn't clean. For the price and even though we had this inconvenience I would recommend this hotel, you just got to take your chances that your room gets clean on every day you stay there. My brother and his family stayed three doors down and they had no problems, there room was clean both days. Read more
