Top San Antonio Hotel Reviews

Crockett Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice king size bed and large room. TV was very s.mall for the room but ok."

Hyatt Vacation Club at Wild Oak Ranch, San Antonio

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property swimming was amazing. Everything was super clean. The unit we stayed in was nice except both of the toilets didn’t flush well. The lazy river is exceptional, but the tubes are not. They’re too small to comfortably sit in and rest back as an adult. Bring your own. We went on September 1 and they had already closed down many of the daily activities and the bar at the pool, which was a big disappointment. It was still 100° outside, so it was clearly still summer for many of us. But overall, it was an amazing place to go for a little vacation."

Menger Hotel

8/10 Good

"Wonderful place I think due to the hot day that the room had a hard time cooling down but wonderful again."

Riverwalk Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fine and was able to check in at 1pm instead of 4pm!"

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great the only thing I would say is I wish there was like a shelf or something in the restroom that I can set my stuff on I had to put my clothes on the toilet while I showered."

10/10 Excellent

"I would appreciate better overall cleanliness of the facilities, especially the elevators and hallways. Keeping these areas cleaner and well maintained would make a positive difference."
