Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent value on riverwalk."

Kimpton Santo San Antonio - Riverwalk by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property beautifully maintained or perhaps it’s brand new is everything looks so very nice but the standout feature is the staff. They seem to go over above and beyond to help with whatever it is that you need help with excellent excellent staff thank you so much."

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property and fantastic, spacious room! Staff was friendly and check in was super easy! Down side: Parking was crazy expensive - 54 bucks for 12 hours at the lot next door. There's a lot of construction outside/road closed so GPS doesn't get you there- we just had to figure it out, but the noise didn't disrupt our stay at all. Super cool location - the Alamo is across the street and the Riverwalk is just a few blocks."
