Top San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a beautiful old bank and has retained all of the charm and elegance of the original building. The rooms are spacious and the pool & hot tub on the roof offer fabulous views. The location is perfect for the River Walk but is quite noisy as it is in town. The kick back is great but very busy. You can spend ages queuing for a drink! Breakfast is great too with a good selection of hot and cold food. We were very disappointed in the housekeeping service. On the first day we went to reception at 3pm to ask why our room hadn't been serviced, to be told that they clean vacated rooms first, then service the rest. The receptionist messaged the housekeeper to ensure we were on the list. So the second day we delayed going to reception and by 6pm, our room hadn't been serviced and we were told that it was too late and the housekeepers had left for the day. We left the following day. Overall I'm not sure we would return."

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk, Valencia Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the Valencia Riverwalk for the American Public Health conference this past week and really enjoyed it. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, and the beds were very comfortable. Despite being right on the river, noise was not an issue, which I really appreciated. The room doesn't have a microwave or an empty mini-fridge; the one in the room is filled with minibar items. It didn't bother me, but it's good to know for anyone who may need either."

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, great place to stay because of the cleanliness & amenities. Having the choice of the 2 restaurants/bars on site was very convenient since we had rain during part of our stay. But we still had access to many other options on the Riverwalk. Our housekeeper Naomi checked with us to see if we needed anything. Staff at the Q restaurant were super attentive & the food was delicious (Q burger was very tasty). Our only small concern was the hot water in the evenings. The water could’ve been warmer than it was, since the temps outside were cool. But like I said, overall great place to stay."
