Top Texas Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"breakfast is good"

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exceptional. My only gripe is it can be a bit confusing because there are two drury’s downtown literally 2 mins away from each other , so we got a little lost but the receptionist was extremely helpful in helping us get to the correct place. Once we arrived which was well after check in , the receptionist at the front (Derrick) was very sweet and accommodating. He even upgraded our room to a terrace view on the 12th floor which was absolutely amazing! They serve snacks/dinner in the evening which is incredibly convenient especially if you have little people and the river walk access is on the basement floor. Perfect location and we do plan on booking at this location again! I honestly have nothing bad to say. You can tell the hotel is a little dated but I believe it’s also a historical landmark and I personally love the aesthetic. Overall 10/10 highly recommend and if you’re able to book a terrace room, BOOK IT! The pull out bed was extremely comfortable, so comfortable that my children didn’t want to get out of it. We came for our sons 9th birthday . Side note: if your looking for a theme park/water park to take your kids who have special needs there is a place called Morgan’s wonderland which is only about 15mins away. Our son has DS and they get in free (special needs kids get in free) very nice place with lots of shade and everything including the rides are wheelchair accessible. Loved it! Thank you drury for taking such good care of me and my family!"

Kozy Hotel Dallas DFW Airport Area West

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 5 nights and each day was the same, in a great way, as the previous day. Front desk staff were awesome. I had a personal issue that I needed their help with and each person was wonderful. The rooms were clean and inviting and housekeeping was on point. I stayed at a different hotel in DFW 2 months ago and this time was a whole different experience, I couldnt ask for a better staff or stay."
