“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

The room was very clean and had a beautiful view with balcony that over looked the Riverwalk. Had breakfast in hotel which was also good. Very friendly and helpful staff from housekeeping to front desk. We would definitely stay here again. We also loved the location it was so close to all the restaurants and bars located along the riverwalk.

“View Review”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

This Hilton was lovely. Great bed, friendly service, and, best of all, a balcony right on the riverwalk. However, if having a really wonderful view of the river is your primary objective, you may wish to look farther. We were in room 908, and our direct view was of a large water tank right across the river.

Room Tip: I believe rooms toward the ends of the hall would have a better view of the riverwalk, with the wate...

“Best Place in San Antonio-Thanks Federico!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

I went to visit my husband for a few days while he's just began work in the area. This is the best place to stay, beautiful hotel, wonderful rooms, food is great and of course right on the magnificent Riverwalk. When we checked in it was a little hectic, because there seem to be a problem with the keys, the staff seemed a little stressed but it was understandable being christmas weekend. However, you can always tell the quality of a Hotel by its leadership, and I would like to say that they came through with flying colors. Special thanks to Federico Mato, for a job well done. I will stay here again, and it will be my preferred Hotel. My only complaint is be careful renting movies, (my husband never reads the fine print on anything including our marriarge license) because they advertise the 4.99 price but it most likely will be alot more.

But other than that, this is a great place to stay!!!

Room Tip: All the rooms are very nice, but of course everyone wants a Riverwalk view.

“Great place to see Christmas lights on the River Walk”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

The rooms are modern and have nice amenities. The shower head is great - thinking about getting one. The balcony had 2 chairs and a table: wonderful place to hang out. The service at the front desk is top-notch. Amazing how the folks at the entrance are able to handle lots of guests arriving - either self-park or valet. The lobby bar has great tables that overlook the River Walk. Our mini-fridge didn't seem to be working, so a replacement fridge was sent to the room in less than 25 minutes. Excellent service.
The only things that weren't up to par were: the carpet could've been vacuumed better and the tissue dispenser only had ~3 tissues in it. Not really something I want to call the Front Desk about but irksome.

Room Tip: River Walk rooms are worth the extra price.

“Best 45th anniversary”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

We celebrated our 45th anniversary on the December 16th. Stayed from the 15th until 17th. Wonderful place. RIGHT on the Riverwalk and balconies in all rooms. The bed was to die for. Every single employee was saw greeted us. Very, very courteous. When Phillip (at check in) found out we were having our 45th, he gave us a complimentary breakfast buffet. Special thanks out to Pilar and Yolanda in room service. Love this place! Will definitely be coming back - lots of times.
