What guests think

At Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Antonio Downtown/Market Square, travelers frequently praise the friendly staff, convenient free shuttle to the airport and River Walk, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and a satisfying free breakfast at an affordable price.

Common drawbacks include dated areas and maintenance issues like inconsistent hot water or AC, housekeeping not always servicing rooms, a small and sometimes crowded breakfast space, limited parking at busy times, and recurring elevator outages or slow waits. The location is convenient for downtown and Market Square, with some guests walking to the River Walk while others prefer the shuttle, especially during construction or hot weather. Expect a friendly, budget-friendly base with strong transport perks and a few trade-offs.

We loved the free shuttle service. Not only will they pick up from the airport but they provide free service to downtown San Antonio. Very convenient & timely. Breakfast was a good variety of hot & cold items.. Cookies in the late afternoon. ALL of the staff were very friendly & helpful. We stayed for a week.

They don’t do the cleaning, if you plan to stay to rest, forget it, you will need to do your own bed and take your trash off from the room. I don’t understand why hotels continue doing this, I went with my kids and you can imagine all the mess in the room, after a long day visiting the city, you returned to a room that is not clean, we even asked in the front desk that please help us at least with the beds and they just ignored our request, just for that I will not return no that hotel.

The hotel was clean and, for the most part, comfortable with the exception of a few things; the water in the shower never got hot, only lukewarm, the bathroom floor tile needed re-grouting, and some repairs around the shower were messy looking. My main issue was that we were charged for a full night stay when we hadn’t stayed that night because our flight was cancelled due to weather. We explained that we had no control over our flights and wouldn’t be able to check in until the next day. The hotel refused to allow us to adjust our reservation and when we showed up the next day (as we told the hotel when we would be there), they had cancelled our entire reservation and charged us more money to create a new reservation for the rest of our stay.

It wasn’t near downtown but it has a shuttle that takes you to the heart of downtown with consistent drop offs and pick ups. Shuttle even goes to the airport. Has a daily hot breakfast that was good and convenient. Executive king room was large, with a separate sitting area with television. The room felt like an apartment, not just one room. Staff was very helpful and the hotel has an overall clean feel. Would definitely book again and highly recommend. Budget friendly with a hint of luxury. The bedding was luxurious! Crisp white, down bedding and sheets.

The thermostat takes a while to cool the room down, it’s consistent at 75 degrees. Shower curtain was placed too high so water drips on the bathroom floor. If you stayed in the lower level you get to be awaken by loud thump from higher floors.

Super convenient for a solo traveler to the marathon. Easy walk to/from both start and finish. Monica at the front desk kindly arranged a late checkout so I could shower after the race, AND sent a maintenance rep with fresh battery for the thermostat when it wasn’t working on arrival. Friendly staff, clean facilities, good location. No complaints!! Only lost stars for facilities (dead bolt didn’t work properly and gym door dysfunction) and local area (slight freeway noise, construction). But overall outstanding

We were looking for hotel to stay at to visit the river walk/downtown/market square that didnt break the bank, didnt charge extra for parking, and that was clean and nice. This hotel fit the bill perfectly. Affordable for us, but still clean and comfortable, easy to navigate to in my larger truck, free (and easy) parking, walking distance to both market square and the river walk. Staff was fantastic and friendly (I was not familier with the area so they were very informative and helpful). The area felt safe enough to walk to the riverwalk at night, lots of people still walking around even at 10pm. And if you dont feel like walking, they offer a free shuttle service that we utilized the 2nd night after a long day. I wouldn't call this a luxury hotel, there are plenty of those on the river walk, but if your looking for an affordable, clean, friendly, accessible and well located hotel to visit downtown, this is the one.

Staff friendly. Bed comfortable. Reason I picked is free parking. I hate waiting on valet to get my car. Would give higher score if the fire alarm hadn’t gone off twice waking us up. Never got explanation. Also we stayed Friday and Saturday. No one emptied trash or made beds or supplied clean towels. This isn’t cheap hotel. Road construction nearby made it difficult to get around town.

What I liked: • Plenty of free parking, which made things easier. • The location is easy to find and well-connected. • The room and bathroom were neat and clean — no issues there. • Check-in was smooth and quick, hassle-free. • Free Wi-Fi worked well throughout our stay. • The room had two queen beds that were comfortable. Pillows could’ve been nicer, but they were okay overall. • Noise levels were low — it felt quiet and comfortable for resting. What I didn’t love: • Only one elevator, so wait times can get frustrating during busy hours. • The breakfast area is small and tends to get crowded quickly — it was hard to find a seat in the mornings. • Can be pricey depending on the rate you book. • A bit far from the Alamo and River Walk — not really walkable, so you’ll need to drive or use a ride share if you’re planning to visit those spots. Overall, a clean, quiet, and comfortable stay. If you’re okay with a short drive to the main tourist spots and some minor crowding at breakfast, it’s a solid place to stay.

Room was very comfortable, friendly staff, good complimentary breakfast (hot food), and overall hotel appearance was nice. There is also a small HEB Market about a block away if you need to pick up anything for a weekend stay. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

We had a good experience staying in Fairfield Inn. Hotel was not super new but very clean and mantained. Staff was very friendly. Hotel parking was free and was about a 20-ish walk towards the river walk. Many options at a walking distance close to the hotel. Or you could rent yourself a VEO or BIRD scooter to get to places. Would definitely consider staying again.
