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.

Parking

Hotel is currently under re-modeling. Also, there is construction across the street to the West and North, making access somewhat of a challenge. Room was comfortable, and the hotel was located within walking distance of many of the attractions on the River Walk area.

My review of Riverwalk Plaza Hotel

Our check in was delayed for over an hour because room was not ready. The pool was very small. The beds were comfortable but there was not even a toilet paper holder in restroom. When we walked in the toilet paper was sitting on top of commode. I thought it was an outhouse.

Comfortable

The Riverwalk Plaza Hotel provided a clean and comfortable atmosphere for our stay in San Antonio. However, the hotel did surprise us with several small fees that were not mentioned previously. The Riverwalk and Alamo were in walking distance.

Great weekend getaway

The hotel was easy to find and out of the way of all the crowds. It was also very secure when it comes to unauthorized access. It was within walking distance of all the major attractions, which was really convienent. The only thing I really didn't like was the thin walls. We could hear the neighbors talking and yelling at their kids.

the shockingly wonderful stay

well, i was a little deceived by the location. I was lead to believe it was on the riverside closest to the restaurants,. that was false, but it still was not a bad walk. everything was w/in walking distance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. the pool hours were short and the parking was absolutely terrible. they did not monitor well enough b/c we saw cars taking up 2 spaces and ones w/o parking permits... but i was cheaper than driving and parking anywhere else. the outside id deceiving as well. it looks a little shady but the rooms are actually nice.overall a good stay and i would recommend this hotel to someone.

Business Trip

The hotel was located close to restuarants, Riverwalk, sites and downtown. It was an easy walk to anything we needed to do, including our meetings. It was under some renovations, so there was no restaurant or gift store - but they had a nice, complimentary breakfast to make up for those things. It was quiet and clean - and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
