Choice Inn San Antonio

Eh, it's decent value

Prós: I stayed here for the San Antonio Rock n Roll marathon. It was less than a mile from the start/finish line near the Alamodome, so I didn't have to worry about parking, just walked to/from the race. All I needed was a clean, affordable place to sleep and shower, so it was great for that. Not super fancy, but then it didn't need to be. The lady at the front desk was okay with letting me check out a few hours late, so that I could sleep a little after the race.

Contras: The main annoyance was the room was a little dimly lit, so I ended up watching HBO instead of reading my book. A table lamp next to the bed would fix that. Also a group of people had a very loud conversation in the parking lot around 3 in the morning and interrupted my sleep, but that's not really the motel's fault.
