Top San Antonio Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing stay! Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Our room was very nice, comfortable, and extremely clean. Breakfast was delicious, and I was especially impressed with how clean and well-maintained the kitchen and dining area were. The staff was wonderful—everyone was super helpful, friendly, and informative. The pools were really nice and definitely a favorite during our stay. One of the best perks was the 5:30 Kickback! The food was great, and the three complimentary drinks per adult were such a nice bonus. The location was probably one of my favorite things about the hotel. You can access the San Antonio River Walk directly from the bottom floor, which made it incredibly convenient to go out, explore, and come right back to the hotel without having to drive anywhere. Overall, this was a wonderful, clean, family-friendly hotel with great amenities and an excellent location. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend! ❤️"

Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Would stay again"

Hotel 1914 - Historic Alamo Riverwalk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a comfortable stay. The hotel and the room were clean and the staff was helpful. The breakfast left much to be desired, nothing fresh, no fruit and lots of processed carbs and powdered eggs. My room was on the 7th floor which had steps, leading to the rooms, so it was no fun carrying a suitcase up and down those stairs. The hotel was in walking distance to all attraction downtown, which I appreciated. I felt safe."

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable room with a great view, despite the construction noise, and loved the proximity to the Riverwalk. Enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting, and the breakfast buffet was phenomenal. Not the hotel staff's fault, but the valet could be better."

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."

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Pool was very nice on the roof either shade. Beautiful hotel and the location is fantastic. Helpful tip- you can self park in the parkade across the street from the hotel."

Spark By Hilton San Antonio Northwest near Six Flags

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."
