Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"We were very impressed with every member of the staff we encountered. This was a great experience from the valet area to the happy hour, room, and check out. The bed was very comfortable. We can't wait to visit again! If there were more stars than 5 stars, it would rank 12 out of a five star rating."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Medical Ctr NW

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and ready for our stay. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly from the moment we walked in to check in. The bed was a little in the stiff side but that won’t stop me from coming back again. I really like the area and the ease to get to dining and shopping options. "
