Guests frequently commend the hotel's central and convenient placement, contributing to an enjoyable, stress-free stay in a safe area. The hotel offers clean and comfortable accommodations with spacious rooms and commendable amenities. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff further enhance the positive guest experience, making it a highly recommended choice for travelers seeking proximity to San Antonio's major sites and seamless service.

The breakfast at TownePlace Suites provides a mixed experience. While many appreciate the variety and taste with highlights such as the ability to make breakfast tacos and a well-stocked continental selection, some guests find the quality and freshness lacking. Issues such as limited options, subpar items like rubbery eggs and the crowded breakfast room are noted. Nonetheless, the convenience of consistently available hot meals remains a plus for many.

The rooms at the hotel are often described as extremely clean, very spacious and featuring attractive facilities, such as a convenient kitchenette. However, some guests noted disappointment with certain rooms being small, dated or having peculiar layouts. Complaints about inconsistent bed comfort and occasional musty smells do surface, as do mismatches between room pictures and reality. Despite these issues, many visitors praise the overall beautiful and well-equipped nature of the rooms, paired with pleasant furniture.

Cleanliness at the TownePlace Suites stands out positively, though there are areas for improvement. Guests frequently highlight the hotel's clean and well-maintained nature, extending to the eating areas, lobby and common spaces. However, some feedback points to a need for more attentive housekeeping with concerns about stained carpets, linens and lack of room upkeep. Despite these occasional issues, cleanliness generally contributes to a favorable impression, supported by friendly and helpful staff.

The staff at TownePlace Suites consistently receive high praise for their exceptional service. The friendly, helpful and welcoming nature of the team enhances guest experiences with individuals like Blanca and Carlos noted for going above and beyond. The front desk and valet services, in particular, stand out for their attentiveness and efficiency. While a few negative interactions are mentioned, they appear to be exceptions.

Parking at the hotel presents both convenience and challenges. The valet parking service is regarded as easy and efficient, though some guests find the daily charge of around $40 to be pricey. Alternatives like nearby parking garages can be more economical, though complaints about slow valet service during busy times arise. The central downtown location justifies the lack of on-site parking facilities to some extent.

The beds in the rooms generally receive favorable reviews with many guests finding them very comfortable and conducive to restful sleep. However, notable inconsistencies in mattress quality are reported with some experiencing discomfort due to large dips, metal frames or even severe cleanliness issues like bedbugs and cockroaches. These problems, while significant for those affected, do not seem to be pervasive.

Overall, TownePlace Suites by Marriott San Antonio Downtown Riverwalk offers a very good to exceptional lodging experience. Despite being slightly outdated and the pricey valet parking, the clean and spacious accommodations, high standards of service and excellent location ensure a positive and enjoyable stay for most guests.
