Top San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Omni La Mansion del Rio

8/10 Good

"You can't beat the location, right in the middle of the best attractions on the Riverwalk. The staff is wonderful and helpful. Every staff member we encountered was very friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a refrigerator and safe. Unfortunately, our refrigerator wasn't working. The showers are very good. The Riverwalk view rooms have a shared balcony which is great for people watching. The bar is a nice diversion after a day on the road. A short walk to restaurants and entertainment. Two Waymo stops outside the hotel and a parking garage across the street. You're a short walk to the Alamo and other attractions. The hotel restaurant is pricey and has selections like quail. Didn't eat there so can't really say good or bad. Valet was very expensive as well. Overall, it's a good place to stay, especially if you are there for the attractions or a function downtown."

Riverwalk Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Overall I thought the hotel was a great hotel. It was within walking distance to the Riverwalk, the Alamo and shopping locations. The game room had a huge big screen TV that some of our family members used to watch a Sunday football game on. Rooms were large and roomy. Staff was helpful. Breakfast at the restaurant on site was very good."
