Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"The place was beautiful and right there at the walk."

Sparkling pool • Historic 6-BR Oasis Near Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in and check-out processes were easy. Brent responded quickly to messages I sent during our stay. The bedrooms were as advertised, there were plenty of pillows and towels, and the kitchen was fully stocked with supplies. The location was close to everything we wanted to do: the Alamo, the zoo, the Pearl area. It was within walking distance to great food, as well. IThere was some dust buildup and random trash under the vanity in our bathroom; most people probably wouldn't notice, but our young kids find everything. The trash / recycling situation was slightly confusing, but we made it work. Thanks for a great stay - we'll be back!"
