Hilton San Antonio Hill Country

The bedding was comfortable.

The phone was broken, the alarm clock was broken, no note pad, no flyers on the hotel like most Hilton’s have. We weren’t offered a map and on the last day checking out we saw nice colored maps on the counter which would have been very helpful, the drains in the sink were slow draining, they charged an outrageous amount for parking when they have a huge lot, no continental breakfast like most Hilton’s, and the overall quality was not up to par for other Hilton’s that we stay at and my husband is a Hilton rewards member and stays quite often with Hilton for business. I felt like we received poor service because I booked with a third party.

The hotel is lovely, the staff is the problem.

The amenities of this well laid out hotel were everything that I would have expected from a Hilton spa and hotel. From the fire pit seating areas and heated pools to the decor and spacious rooms, I very much enjoyed the hotel itself.

First. We arrived at almost 1pm to find that we were not able to check in. No rooms were ready. Next. The staff. It seemed that there were as many trainees as there were experienced staff (not very many of either). At the bar restaurant, there was only one experienced server. She was great and did the best with what she had. However, she couldn't keep up with everyone in the restaurant and train a new person, too. It took a very long time to get our food (some good, some not good) and drinks and there wasn't more than 20 people in the restaurant. I can only imagine how understaffed the kitchen was as well (we were there for about 2.5 hours). The breakfast restaurant seemed to suffer from the same lack of trained, attentive staff. The housekeeping staff were noisy and yelled down the hall to each other in the morning. Not professional at all.
