Top San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Riverwalk Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great access to the Riverwalk"

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nice decorated and staff was super nice very helpful and had no problem at all"

Menger Hotel

8/10 Good

"Although it is a historical landmark hotel, I still think some upkeep needs to be done. The telephone in our room looked straight from the 90s, stained yellow and old. I’d get something that matches the aesthetic a bit more. The vanity by the fridge was dirty as if someone had done their makeup before I arrived and it hadn’t been cleaned. The clock and tv also didn’t work."

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"It’s clean you can tell because immediately went into our room smelled strongly of bleach and rooms are very cramped and expect when checking in and out that no one is upfront each time we past the front door lobby no one was"

Omni La Mansion del Rio

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and clean hotel."

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it, specially it was next to the river walk"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was wonderful but the only worst part is staff. I called 3 time to hotel before we checked in and was told so many different things and fees and when I got to check in the charges were double what I was told and when I checked out it was same thing sorry u can get full deposit back cause we charge for car parking plus we have to inspect room before anything is given back and I asked about this before getting room key and I was told opposite"

Hotel Contessa

8/10 Good

"The room was not cleaned thoroughly and contained a significant amount of dust. Additionally, one of the drawers was defective. However, the management was very helpful and pleasant, making the stay feel quite welcoming."
