Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent
"Wife and I enjoyed everything about our stay there on 4th of July weekend! The staff are excellent and very friendly. The Bank turned into a hotel has so much carracter. The room was very comfortable and clean. The perk of free breakfast and what they called Happy Hour (5:30 to 7pm) every night was above and beyond with an actual dinner buffet and 3 free cocktails per person was really enjoyed and appreciated. Really appreciated them getting the individual off the pool roof area that was acting like an idiot. Saw one if the family later in the lobby leaving with a bag of clothes handed to her from a staff member, glad they kicked them out. Too many kids around that could have been hurt. Overall, great experience, we will stay at Drury Plaza from now on when in San Antonio!"
