Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza
Any concerns we had were quickly resolved, the only drawback was the crush of everybody checking out at 11am picking up valet cars at the same time. Lots of cars, lots of guests, and just a couple of guys running back-and-forth. They worked hard.

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk
Our room was amazing with a useable balcony overlooking the Riverwalk. We were 1/2 block from a bus stop plus direct access to the Riverwalk. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Plus the beautiful historic building. I will always stay here when I go to San Antonio.
