Somewhat tired property. Small bathroom. Very clean. Very freindly service. Breakfast was good. Very convenient to the Municipal Auditorium. Riverboat stop is close to hotel. 20 minutes walking on Riverwalk to Rivercenter and restaurants (or 10 minutes on street level) My wife left a few personal items in a drawer and hotel hospitality people mailed a package to to us...

This hotel was basically okay and I'll get back to that. But, the name "Tropicana Riverwalk" must be in violation of some truth in advertising laws or something. Yes, it technically is on the famous San Antonio riverwalk, because the southwestern corner of the property is adjacent to the very end of the river, but (and this is a very... More

The El Tropicano Riverwalk is an affordable way to see San Antonio. Although the name says "Riverwalk," the hotel is a decent stroll from the main section of the Walk. Also, do not splurge for the "river" view--the portion of the river bordering the hotel is currently under construction. Our room faced the river, but we primarily had a view... More

Booked the Holiday Inn Topicana via Hotwire for $58 a night. I'll admit I didn't expect much from the Holiday Inn but I've been extremely surprised. The hotel is older but has been completely remodeled to be reminiscent of the 50's style hotel on Miami Beach. Although the rooms are on the smaller side the beds are very comfortable. My... More

My husband and I and friends booked this hotel for one night while visting San Antonio for a quick get away. I want to start with Pros: Hotel staff is amazing, very friendly, never did we walk by without someone speaking to you or asking if you needed anything. I have stayed at some five star hotels, and you don't... More

Spent many a day in Holiday Inns but El Tropicano Riverwalk is one of the best. Maybe some of the surroundings have a little to do with it, but the employees are the best. You are family when you stay there. Rooms are comfortable like home, meals are like home (only someone else is cooking), very clean and relaxing. You... More

I was very pleased with our stay at this hotel. We were going overnight to San Antonio to see a show at the Municipal Auditorium. This hotel is perfectly located within less than a block's walk from the auditorium -- so convenient. The hotel is beautifully landscaped, and there are even two live toucans in an atrium. We enjoyed both... More

Once again El Tropicano helped make my family's stay in San Antonio great. Every time we go some sort of improvement has been made. The lobby is spacious and clean and you walk in knowing exactly where everything is (i.e. bar, dining, gift shop, pool). This is very rare for most hotels. The kids and I loved the pool and... More
