“Nice Play-Would Stay Again”

Drury Plaza Hotel Riverwalk

Jun 26, 2008

I stayed here during a business trip. This was a wonderful hotel. They provide: Continental Breakfast (There was no belgian waffles) and Happy Hour -3 drinks "FREE" per day (There was a specific drink list) with Nachos/Pretzels/Chips. The Cust. Ser. Reps were always friendly and the hotel seem to be kept pretty neat. The beds are nice. The only thing I noticed was the cleaning crew "Never" put the iron & board back up once it's taken out and set up. You can access the Riverwalk from the lower portion of the hotel. The Pool is located (2 levels) above the roof. Yes, you read correctly. You go onto the roof, then have to walk up a set of stairs to access the jacuzzi and then another set of stairs to access the pool. The roof top pool is not a place for kids to be left alone. A parent should always be there for safety reasons. If you stay at the hotel, you will see exactly what I mean. Enjoy your stay. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if the situation presented itself.

“Drury Plaza - Best Hotel on the Riverwalk”

Drury Plaza Hotel Riverwalk

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Rochester, NY

2/2 found this review helpful

The Drury Plaza Riverwalk is a beautiful, clean, and spacious hotel. Everything about this hotel was amazing. We stayed here for 4 days in April and our stay was wonderful. The Alamo Bank Building was restored and converted into The Drury Plaza Hotel creating great ambience, grand ceilings and unique rooms. Because the hotel was a bank, there are ornate decorations on the ceiling, a beautiful stained glass window in the lobby, and amazing historic significance. We stayed in an oversized Queen room which had a very spacious bedroom and living room area. The beds were extremely comfortable, each room had a great plasma TV and you had great views of the city from the large windows.

The pool area is located on the 26th floor with an amazing panoramic view of the city. There is a large pool and two hot tubs with one hot tub overlooking the western skyline. Great place to watch the sunset! There is also a separate patio area with several tables where you can sit and enjoy the great views.

The location of the hotel is great. All you need to do is walk out the back door and you're on the Riverwalk. A quick walk to the right and you're at the heart of all the restaurants and bars. What a great surprise! Plus, the hotel is a quick walk to the Alamo and Hemisphere Park.

Also, the free ammenities that come with your stay are definitely great perks. The happy hour which included 3 free drinks and light snacks and the free soda and popcorn every afternoon and evening were nice bonuses. It was great to be able to stop in and get a soda before and after walking around the city.

I would definitely stay here again and at other Drury hotels. After looking at the other hotels on the Riverwalk, the Drury Plaza is the best hotel for the price! Amazing!

“It's the Drury! Really a great place to stay.”

Everything that's nice about a Drury - staff are very helpful... free happy hour... free breakfast with eggs/sausage/biscuits & gravy. When I checked in I was a little apprehensive about the location - many of the surrounding buildings are closed/under renovation. BUT... it's a completely safe area. It has direct access to the riverwalk. It's also walking distance to El Mercado - lots of shops and restaurants. The hotel is in an old bank building and they have preserved much of the architecture. Nice pool on the roof. And another indoor pool accessible through a walkway. We spent some time on the 9th floor courtyard of the San Fernando tower. Suites have a huge fridge and a microwave. No plates/glasses/silverware though.

“Better Value in San Antonio”

Drury Plaza Hotel Riverwalk

Jun 24, 2008

This is a clean updated and very nice hotel. It is in a great location, and one of the better values in the city. Great views, free internet, 42" flat screen, and fun being in an old bank building.

The rooms are a little tight, but I was travelling on business, so it was only me. Breakfast was one of the better complimentary breakfasts.

Would stay here again compared to others I have stayed in San Antonio (Hilton Palacio Del Rio).

“Everything was okay except one manager!”

Drury Plaza Hotel Riverwalk

0/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Drury Plaza Hotel in downtown San Antonio not too long ago. The property is beautiful, the pool was amazing as was the view from it. y main gripe is with a member of the staff who I overheard speaking to another staff member. The woman was speaking rudely to the other employee and degrading said person in a fashion I thought very unprofessional! II saw this woman a few times during my stay never did she seem to be genuine in her welcome and greeting. I work in a business where we respect our coworkers no matter what part of the ladder they happen to me on at the time. Other then this rude woman, I loved my stay. The bar and snacks was great as was breakfast! The people were so friendly and seemed truly happy to see us each morning. I appreciated that they would take the time to acknowledge me even though they seemed to be busy most times. Come to think of it the same woman was at breakfast and I recall her being rude to workers there as well. I love the hotel and most of the staff but keep clear of Corrine! The rest of the staff was excellent, keep up the good work! Our room was spotless and our trip turned out great despite all.
