“A nearly ideal hotel for San Antonio”

Reviewed April 30, 2013

I have nothing bad to say about this hotel. An older hotel similar to the cabana hotels in the old Elvis movies. But what it may lack in glitz, it more than makes up for with character. Interesting and spacious tropical / retro decor. Right on the riverwalk. Minutes from any activity downtown. Very good option for anyone and competitively... More

“Horrible hotel experience”

Reviewed April 23, 2013

I don't even know where to start. I recently stayed at "El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel." OMG, my stay there was horrible. Thank God is was for only 1 night. We went to the San Antonio Fiestas. Our check-in time was at 4pm, we showed up for check-in at exactly 4pm. Well, our 2 rooms were not ready. The clerk was... More

I apologize that your rooms were not ready upon arrival, we strive to have rooms available at 4pm but unfortunately we did not have your room type available at that time. Please accept my apologies and rest assured I have spoken to the agent that checked you in as well. Best Regards, Tim More

“Ideally situated”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

The hotel is ideally situated overlooking the riverwalk and within a minutes access to it. The hotel is bright , modern and the room was spacious, clean and well appointed. The staff at reception were efficient but not over friendly. This is a busy hotel and a good base for visiting the attractions of San Antonio. It is 10 minutes... More

“Decent hotel”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

Lovely lobby with a colorful, retro look. Our room had a nice view of the pool, which is nicely decorated. The room was clean and comfortable, although we were next to the elevator and it was very noisy. This hotel is a good alternative to more expensive Riverwalk hotels. However, we were unhappy with the bartender who, after spending about... More

“Forced Incarceration”

I stay at this hotel only because our company has a contract that forces us to do so. I have never had a good experience here. Noise from outside (single pane windows), noise from inside, HIVAC issues from being too noisy to not working at all. Doors at will not secure to rooms that have smelled like a sewer (literally,...

We did have a large focklorico group in the hotel and I do apologize that due to moving around the hotel to the different judging and performance venues we did receive some noise complaints and although we did have additional security on duty we still had folks talking loudly while returning to there rooms. Sounds like you may be with... More

I want to find the person who did the photography for this place and hire him to take my Facebook photo. I would look like Taylor Swift and not a middle aged mother. I can't believe I fell for it.

“Two Relaxing Nights at El Tropicano”

Reviewed April 3, 2013

Spent two wonderful nights at the El Tropicano during spring break. The rooms were clean. The complimentary breakfast buffet was terrific and the staff was great. It's on the Riverwalk, but you have to walk about 10 min. to get to the nightlife which I personally didn't mind since the weather was great and we felt very safe even walking... More
