Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"#1"

Hyatt Place San Antonio - Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean. It had a very nice smell every time you walked in the hotel. The hotel is in a great location super easy access to the riverwalk, which my family absolutely loved we walked everywhere the week we stayed. Staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome at all times. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. 10/10 excellent.. no complaints"

Menger Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room we stayed in was adequate, but it could be improved. I noticed that the balcony in our room was not clean. The hotel's front entrance needs proper lighting, and the artificial flower arrangement on top of the table should be replaced with something more vibrant. The employees are friendly and courteous. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel because it was so close to the mall, souvenir shops, museums, and restaurants. Finally, we had an enjoyable breakfast at Mengerita Tacos."

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was really great, the breakfast was very good. The only problem is the road is closed and your GPS will keep you running in circles. The other drawback is that the valet parking is as much as the nights stay. There is no the parking. There is no guarantee your vehicle will be safe either. It’s super close to Rivera and right across the street for the Alamo. All in all it’sa great hotel."
