Top San Antonio Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent
"The Drury Plaza is our favorite place to stay when in San Antonio. The staff are super friendly and the place is always super clean. Breakfast is standard as with most hotels, but the 5:30 Kickback rocks. You get three free adult beverages and they offer a free dinner at 5:30 every day. Nothing fancy, but it’s good, but there are a bunch of great restaurants within walking distance. This place also has history as it was once the Alamo National Bank and is right on the Riverwalk. If you’ve never been on the Riverwalk at night, you need to check it out. It’s absolutely beautiful and a little spooky. Love this place."

"Classy landmark hotel with helpful, friendly and excellent staff. The central location is perfect for visiting the Riverwalk and downtown which enhances the experience especially for small families. Valet parking is a must, but can be slow during the busy hours. We parked across the street at the city parking lot. The restaurant on the first floor offers a flawlessly executed menu. The lobby bar is cozy and well stocked."
