Top Downtown San Antonio Hotel Reviews

Menger Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was perfect for New Years celebration. Room was outdated and check out wasn’t very clear but had an amazing stay. "

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"If you want the River Walk experience, this is the spot. I’ve stayed here multiple times and keep coming back. The location is unbeatable, right on the River Walk and walking distance to everything. Staff is consistently great, the pool is a highlight, and it’s a nice touch that you can get poolside drinks delivered. Only minor downside is check-in can be slow, so plan for that if you're checking in on Saturdays. "
