Top San Antonio Hotel Reviews

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and walking distance from a lot of good restaurants and little shops. The staff were genuinely nice and helpful, the only issue is that their internal communication didn’t seem to be great: we waited about two hours for our luggage - it didn’t seem like the valet folks were tracking that we were in our room - and we had to ask three or four times for a crib for my baby - at the end we got two (!!) cribs. So not super smooth internal processes… but they were truly nice and you could tell they meant to help!"

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"The valet staff was excellent and very helpful in getting me setup. The front desk staff answered all of my questions with a smile"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The bathroom toilet was filthy. The curtain rod was loose and slanted it wouldn't let you close the curtain. Other than that everything else was good."

Riverwalk Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Location was great"

Heritage Inn & Suites San Antonio Airport, Trademark Wyndham

10/10 Excellent
