Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Hotel Contessa

10/10 Excellent

"There is simply no better place to stay in San Antonio near - practically on - the Riverwalk. The rooms at Hotel Contessa are spacious, modern and clean. All the usual amenities are available plus extras like luxury beddings. Our room came with a fantastic view of the river above marriage island. At night the little boats floated past with colored lights making it a peaceful and pleasant visual treat. By far and away the best part of this superb hotel were the people who delivered over the top service, friendliness and professionalism. From the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant staff all were way above average. But the group that was absolutely world class - as in I've never experienced this level of service from this part of a hotel was the Valet team. These fine men would hustle back and forth getting our car and do so the moment they saw us walk out the door. They were friendly, efficient and ran like a well oiled machine. When we had questions on directions they went out of their way to make sure we knew where we were going. Our rental car was kept spotless inside and out and everyone of them never hestitated to help with a bag or luggage. A finer group of people in this line of hospitality work you will not find anywhere. To top it all off the rate we paid was slightly less than hotels that did not have as good a location or spacious rooms offered at the Contessa. Without a doubt we will always stay here on future trips to San Antonio "

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The only issue I had was that the phone in the room was not working, I discovered this when I tried calling the front desk because my thermostat it the room had stopped working, because it needed new batteries. They came and fixed the thermostat...and attempted to repair the phone, but I didn't need it anyway...but overall great hotel...thank you"

Hilton Palacio Del Rio

10/10 Excellent

"I moved over to the Hilton after there was a water main break at the Grand Hyatt.. and I have to say, I regret that I wasn't just staying at the Hilton the whole time. The staff was SO kind to me after I was already having a rough day. My room was ready right away, there were so many staff there to help me and greet me. I was so so grateful for the Hilton staff and the location. I can't give enough thanks!"

Crockett Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room and bathroom were a good size. The bedding was comfortable. The bathroom was clean but the shower nozzles were a little confusing and we kept getting random bursts of cold and hot water. Our only window faced the inside of the hotel. While the shutters provided good blockage of the light I would have preferred drapes. The lights stay on in the lobby all night so we did have some light coming in. Also we weren’t aware that valet was our only option, so that was disappointing. The front desk was friendly and you can’t beat the location."
