Constructed in 2008, the handsome new Best Western San Antonio East Inn is the first hotel for travelers arriving from the east along I-10 from Houston; it has a peaceful location along the northern frontage road by exit 585, surrounded by farmland though just across the street from one restaurant. Others can be found a couple of miles west closer to the city. Free full breakfast is provided by the hotel, however, as are a good range of amenities including an outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, guest laundry, business center and a meeting room. Besides the regular accommodations (all featuring a microwave, LCD TV & refrigerator), several types of suite are available, with a kitchenette or hot tub bath.

Rooms at the newly opened (2009) Comfort Inn near the AT&T Center have views of a quiet, mixed residential rural neighborhood alongside interstate 10 on the east side of San Antonio, a short walk from the woodland and footpaths of Martin Luther King Park. The hotel is a typically clean, comfortable and well managed property that offers free continental breakfast, a fitness center, guest laundry, an outdoor pool & hot tub, and a business center & meeting room. Some of the 79 guest rooms have a microwave, refrigerator and sofa bed. The AT&T Center is just 1.5 miles west, along Houston St.

Clarion Inn San Antonio is part of a group of hotels along I-35 just south of Ft Sam Houston, and about 5 miles from downtown San Antonio - in a commercial corridor along the interstate though with woodland at either side. This is a large hotel, offering 155 rooms and 20 suites, part of a complex of buildings arranged around a sizeable outdoor pool and gardens, on the north side of the highway. The on-site restaurant/bar (Kathie's) serves food until 10 and drinks until midnight; other facilities include an outdoor pool, fitness center and meeting space. Amongst the nearby attractions (one mile west) is Splashtown, San Antonio's premier water amusement park.

The Quality Inn & Suites is 6 miles east of central San Antonio, and 2 blocks south of I-10 exit 580 (South WW White Rd), one of a small group of motels on the edge of a residential neighborhood. The inn has 54 rooms on 2 floors with exterior corridors, a small outdoor pool, refrigerator & microwave in each room, and free continental breakfast.

One of a line of budget hotels along W.W. White Rd in east San Antonio, Econo Lodge East is a typical two floor, exterior corridor property but with above average facilities and a good standard of cleanliness. The hotel offers 40 rooms (all have a refrigerator/microwave), free continental breakfast, free internet access, laundry, business/meetings services and a secluded outdoor pool at the rear. I-10 runs past a couple of blocks north, reaching downtown San Antonio after 7 miles.

The Rodeway Inn at 211 N WW White Rd offers the basic but affordable lodging typical of this brand, with amenities of free continental breakfast, a small outdoor pool and guest laundry. The 93 rooms are on two floors with exterior corridors, and all contain a microwave and a refrigerator; they look out over a partly residential neighborhood on the north side of interstate 10, five miles east of the center of San Antonio. The AT&T Center is just 2.3 miles away.
