Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza
The room was nicer than expected. There was a separate area for the kitchen, the bathroom was spacious, and the room was very clean. I wish there had been more breakfast things that were a grab and go style but other than that, great stay.

Riverwalk Plaza
The hotel is a little dated but I would return. The staff are very friendly and they keep your room clean daily if you want them to.

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk
The hotel is old and beautiful because it’s used to be the bank before. But it’s very impressive how very nice, clean, the room is very spacious, the staff are very friendly and professional. The kick back dinner is very nice and generous with alcohol beverages.

Hotel Contessa
Great stay. Staff is friendly and the lobby is beautiful. You're on a quiet part of the river but close to all the fun. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Will stay here for every river trip from now on
