Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay. Wonderful location. Beautiful hotel. Loved the included breakfast and kickback. Rooftop pool and whirlpools were awesome with a bonus indoor pool and hot tub. The upgraded us to a 2 room suite and it was exactly what my family needed. Can’t say enough good things! Only negative is price of valet but that’s expected in a big city. 100% recommend. "

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Five-Star⭐ I cannot say enough good things about Hotel Valencia. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The valet team was welcoming and efficient, Roger at the front desk made check-in smooth and enjoyable, and Mohammed in food and beverage provided outstanding service. Room service was excellent—the food was wonderful, and the prices were very reasonable. Our suite was spacious and beautiful, making our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Every detail was handled with care, and the entire experience felt warm, professional, and truly first-class. Everything was perfect, and I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!"
