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.

Good Location

The hotel stay was enjoyable. Friendly staff and great location. The rooms were a bit small but good upkeep. The cafe has a limited selection of breakfast items (one blueberry muffin). They offered a parking garage; however it was 12 dollars a night. Overall not a spectacular hotel but for the price it was definitely unbeatable.

It was OK

Room was nice and comfortable, we enjoyed having an open balcony, and relaxed there in the mornings.Hotel was not far from Riverwalk, and was on a qiet section of the rover, with less foot traffic.

Riverwalk Plaza

Stayed here 6 nights. Older building. Pool small and cold, no hot tub. Beds hard but seemed new. Coffee shop hardly ever open. Hotel is off main part of Riverwalk so a bit of a walk to any other restaurants & night spots. There was rarely more then a couple people in bar in evenings. Restaurant menu very limited, breakfasts extra cost, we only had breakfast one am in hotel. Staff pleasant, helpful and courteous. Overall good value for being in Riverwalk area; convenient self parking ramp in bldg w/elevator right from parking area (twelve dollars/per day parking). We were in SA for son's Air Force Grad, about 15 min drive to Lackland from Hotel, easy in and out from hotel to base. Traffic in SA area flows quite nice due to wide hi-ways. Overall, an OK hotel.

Average Hotel

This hotel wasn't bad but it wasn't excellent either. The rooms themselves have been upgraded but the hallways, doors, carpeting, etc. are outdated. The restaurant in the hotel wasn't worth going to. Staff was friendly but slow service and food not good. The location of the hotel is just so-so. It was quite a walk to get to the areas of the Riverwalk where activities were going on. All in all not bad but we will stay in a different hotel next time we go.

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.
