This hotel was part of our travel to Texas with my friends; I have been previously in different hotels at San Antonio and I can tell you this is one of the best options if you´re looking to stay near the river/downtown.
The staff is friendly, the property is at excellent shape and the amenities met by far my expectations. It sure can be a great option for couples, friends, business and family as well. I can´t find another hotel to try for my next visit to San Antonio.

Have stayed at many Embassy Suites, and this was one of the best. Spent one night in Homewood suites a few blocks away, and two nights here. We got to ES early (around 11 am), and the front desk manager (sorry, forgot his name) was able to get me a room on the 3rd floor. I was shocked that I was accommodated at that hour. Room was fine, usual ES large bedroom, desk area and "tv viewing" area. Left room to conduct business, and returned to find 2 bottles of water (courtesy of hotel). Hilton has a habit of entering your room after you check in to do this. Not a policy I appreciate. Its happened at several properties around the country. Please give me the bottles at check in!!!

Managers hour was one of the best I have ever seen at ES. The drinks were good, plenty of choices. But the food - there was TOO MUCH! Vegetables, fruit, candy, chips, guacomole (did I spell that right).. and more... some travelers would skip dinner with this layout.

Ok - second complaint: no newspaper by the door in the morning. Yeah, I know. Don't I have bigger problems... But this is standard at ES. I look forward to reading USA Today before I go down for breakfast. Have to see if my home team lost again. Yes, there were papers in the lobby (which were gone by about 9:15). I asked the front desk why papers werent delivered to a guest's door. the answer: the guests were throwing the papers out and not reading them. (REALLY?!) Still, this is one perk that should not be changed. It's one reason ES charges a little more than most hotels.

Ok, Ive spent a paragraph venting, and that's enough! Breakfast was great. I did not experience any lines for the omelet station - either early or late in the morning. Once again, lots of great choices, as most regular ES customers know. I agree with one previous tripadvisor writer that the stations are a bit too spread out - but it's quite a large area, so I guess theyre just doing the best they can. Plenty, I mean plenty of seating.

Parking was not cheap (valet), but you could park and remove your car 100x a day, and the employees would still be friendly and courteous.

All in all, one of the best Embassy Suites Ive been to. 5 Stars!

Stayed a couple of nights while attending a conference at the hotel. There are some nice conference rooms on the second level. The hotel is located on the riverwalk but not the main section. Not a big deal as this location is more quite and less crowded. 5-10 minute walk will get you to the crowded section of the riverwalk.
Hotel offers free drinks/snacks in the evening during the week. Free breakfast is good and includes hot items such as eggs, sausage, hash browns, etc - in addition to the typical fruit and rolls. Omelet bar is available also but can get crowded.
My room was a typical suite with the bed & tv in one room and the other room containing a couch, tv, small dining table, and small fridge. Bathroom was typical hotel size and had a large shower but no tub. The room was quite and clean.
Hotel has a parking garage but it is for valet only at $27/night if I recall. There is a parking lot adjacent to the hotel that charges per day - not sure the rate. Bottom line is that there are options for parking but probably nothing for free.
Lobby is nice with multiple locations for sitting. There is an outside patio area also. There is an attached bar/restaurant and multiple options within walking distance but don't expect cheap prices in this part of downtown.
There is an outdoor pool a few floors up but I did not visit it.
Staff seemed friendly during my limited interaction with them.

Great location down by the Riverwalk. The valet parking is great because there aren't many places downtown to otherwise park.

As a business traveler, I appreciate that they still offer wired Internet in the rooms. The HDMI on the TVs were also not cut off. So, its possible to still bring an AppleTV or Roku player.

I believe its consistent across the brand, but the complimentary breakfast includes made to order omelets and they also have a happy hour in the evenings.
