Top Universal City Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"Shower booth was not cleaned, and hairs left on the bath tub."

Menger Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Historic hotel with old word charm. A very unique stay in San Antonio literally next door to the Alamo. Highly recommended."

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Cutest boutique hotel! Staff and service was amazing. Great location!"

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"Hotel Gibbs has the making of an exceptional boutique hotel in an area (Alamo) that's undergoing transformation. I appreciated the architecture of this place and its possibilities. I promised I would return Fall 2027 and drop another review. Can't give it the 5 star review it could possibly deserve, the room was excellent, view of the Alamo and the chaos that comes with construction. Linens and bed are top notch. I noted air vents needed cleaning..bathroom and toiletries, excellent. I did get the corner room at excellent price."

Omni La Mansion del Rio

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable and Quiet despite the incredible night scene SATX has to offer"
