Top San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"I liked the breakfast and dinner snacks. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Access to the River walk was easy. The elevators were the dirtiest part of the building. Really the biggest criticism was the parking sitaution. I was shocked that it was valet only and the valet service was sliw to get in off the street. I sat one time for 15 minutes trying to get in off the street."

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel ever"
