Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel in staff are very very nice. They will get you anything you need. The breakfast is outstanding. The rooftop pool and hot tubs are awesome. The indoor pool and hot tub is awesome. They are very clean. Well maintained beautiful scenery view from the rooftop."

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk, Valencia Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This was my 3rd visit to the Valencia. I love the hotel’s architecture and interior. The bar is a wonderful spot for an appetizer before dinner. There are many cozy spots to sit and enjoy a drink in the areas around the lobby. The rooms are comfortable and handsome. The staff is superb, from the valets to the front desk. They are happy to help and very welcoming. Thank you"

Element by Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Impressive breakfast!!! They serve a delicious freshly made breakfast. They have a wide variety of items from eggs, sausage, pancakes, yogurt, overnight oats, and all fresh toppings available. Room was very clean. Security is a must- you need your key to go on the elevator. Staff were very friendly and kind."

The Maverick, powered by Placemakr - River Walk

8/10 Good

"Great stay. Only complaint I could have would be the valet parking being that there was only one person working. They are not working 24 seven so when I got back from dinner about 9 PM I had to park my own vehicle at the hotel behind the Maverick. Just note this is a very busy area and Friday and Saturday nights. the streets are pretty ridiculous earlier that afternoon, I did have a small issue. There was a guy, I’m assuming he was homeless downstairs, beating mongrels and I could hear it from my room on the ninth floor."
