Luxurious hotel just a short walk to the River Walk in San Antonio
Some of the 129 rooms at the Riverwalk Plaza Hotel & Suites on the south bank of the River Walk have a balcony, and many offer a view of the river itself, which is just 15 yards away. The fourth floor has a deck laden with teak lounge chairs, palm trees and heated pool. The fitness center nearby has towels, bottled water and plenty of TVs. The business center never gets a rest, as it is open 24 hours and offers printing, fax, notary and courier services, along with computer workstations. At check-in time, Otis Spunkmeyer cookies are served.
Highlights
  • Just 15 yards from the south bank of the River Walk
  • Full-service business center and banquet space with catering
  • Fitness center and heated, outdoor pool are open 24 hours a day.

There are a few rooms with balconies overlooking the winding river. Request a balcony for that extra perk of lounging in the open air, riverside. The 129 guest rooms of the Riverwalk Plaza Hotel & Suites have been updated with a muted palate of warm earth tones and offer complimentary wired Internet, a two-line cordless speaker phone and 42-inch flat-screen TV with more than 60 cable channels, including HBO. All rooms feature a line of products from the palm-frond waving resort line, Tommy Bahama. Suites have comfy terrycloth robes waiting to be snuggled into. Smoking rooms are available on request

San Antonio vacation

My stay at the Riverwalk Plaza Hotel was very enjoyable. It was near to everthing that I wanted to do. The staff was very pleasant. The only thing that left me a little worried, was that for some reason they could not check me out when I left at four o'clock in the morning.

Not Bad

It's in a good location, but does not have direct access to the River Walk. You must leave the hotel and walk across the street then down to the River Walk.Some of the rooms have balconies...so be specific when you reserve your room. It was clean. The staff was okay. The restaurant was good but too expensive. I would stay again because the price was good and the location was convenient to everything. It cost $12 a day to park at the hotel in addition to the room charges.

Nothing special

This hotel looked nicer on the website, and was not as nice as it appeared. It was not terrible, but you can probably find a much nicer hotel for not much more cost.

Avoid

These folks cannot even provide a working coffee maker, made no effort to replace when reported. Instead, they never showed up to even service the room. This hotel should be avoided at all costs. They have proven without a doubt that some people should not be involved with hotel industry.

Their web page makes this place shine but don't pick it from that. It is a two star at best not worth the money no matter how close to the Riverwalk.

Overall Great Place to stay

PERFECT LOCATION downtown riverwalk - if you like a quieter experience (which I do). Free bottled water and pretzels in room. Fancy shower, but a little confusing. Room and Hotel in general (lobby and hallways) were really cold. Turned off A/C in room and it was still freezing. There was an extra brown blanket in the closet though.. Nice flat screen TV in room, but most channels were fuzzy. Bar Salona was really small - and drinks were overpriced. We had well drinks screwdriver and rum and coke for $5 each on a Sunday night. The overnight front desk girl was most helpful in giving me directions to the closest walgreens pharmacy. My only main complaint: PARKING GARAGE.. while it was only $12.98 to park there for a night.. it was an unsavory experience. there's a gate that is supposed to open when you drive up.. It doesn't work very well. Had to call front desk 4x during my stay to have maintenance come out to the garage and open it for us.

Very close to the riverwalk - well the quieter part of it anyway.. leave your vehicle in the garage and walk downtown - take in the scenery and the lovely architecture. There is plenty of signage to point you in the direction you want to go.

Hotel Good ,food not good

The room was very nice altho a bit overpriced for the size of the room. was really quite small but it was clean even with the dated and chipped and well worn furniture in the room.The hotel restaraunt and the coffey shop were way over priced and the food was not tasty at all. The closeness to the attractions downtown was average. None of the riverwalk boat/taxi operators knew where the hotel was or had even heard of it. would prob. not stay there again.15 dollars a day to park your car on top of the room charge.

Good Location, Rooms not well-maintained

The hotel was within walking distance of most sights. The bathroom had the most problems. The toilet rocked when you sat on it, and part of the shower fixture fell off. One of the days the housekeeping staff came in and made up the room, but did not leave any towels, coffee, etc. When we called the front desk, they had not sent any of the items up for over 2 hours. We called again, and finally got some towels. I would not stay here again.

Take the narrated boat tour on the Riverwalk. It is very inexpensive and informative.
