The budget Hampton Inn & Suites San Antonio-Downtown/Market Square is a great value for those who don’t want to pay the price of a River Walk hotel, but still want to be close to downtown attractions. One main draw is free parking, which is hard to find in the area, though the lot does occasionally fill up. The 108 generic rooms are well-maintained and spacious, with free in-room movies, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, plus microwaves. Solid features include an impressive free breakfast with hot and cold items, free Wi-Fi, an indoor swimming pool, a small fitness center, and laundry facilities for guests. Although there are no restaurant or bar on-site, there are a grocery store right across the street and some restaurants nearby. It's worth looking at rates for the more central Sheraton Gunter Hotel San Antonio.

Scene
Spacious common areas and modern, colorful decor
This 2014-built Hampton Inn & Suites attracts a mix of families, couples, and business travelers looking for an affordable stay with well-maintained interiors and close proximity to downtown attractions. Public areas are spacious and have modern decor in warm tones; the lobby area has ample lounging space with comfortable couches, low and high-top tables, TVs, high ceilings, colorful patterned carpets, and funky lighting fixtures.

Location
Downtown San Antonio, walking distance to the River Walk, Market Square, and Alamo
Hampton Inn & Suites is on South Flores Street in downtown San Antonio, in an area that’s away from the bustling River Walk, but safe and close enough to walk there. It’s an 11-minute walk from the hotel to the River Walk, a network of walkways with shops, bars, and restaurants along the San Antonio River. It’s a 12-minute walk to Market Square, the largest Mexican market in the U.S., a five-minute drive from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, and a nine-minute drive (19-minute walk) to the Alamo. There are plenty of dining options immediately around the hotel, including a charming grocery store directly across the street. Family-friendly attractions are a reasonable drive away, including SeaWorld (20 minutes) and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme park (22 minutes). A notable perk is that there's free outdoor parking, though it can get full.
Rooms
Generic but comfy rooms with mini-fridges
The 108 rooms at Hampton Inn & Suites are spacious and range from standard guest rooms with one king-size bed or two queen beds to studio suites.

All rooms come with 46-inch LCD flat-screen TVs with free movie channels, free Wi-Fi, ironing facilities, coffeemakers, microwaves, and mini-fridges. Attractive bathrooms come with free toiletries, hairdryers, and showers with Waterpik showerheads. There are desks in every room with ergonomic desk chairs, and comfortable seating areas. Suites come with sleeper sofas. Some past guests have complained of noise from the nearby road.
