Rooms need to be renovated. Bathroom tiles look dirty. They still have tube TVs!!!! One elevator was not working. For these reasons, this will not be my preferred choice in San Antonio. On the other hand, hotel staff was very pleasant and courteous. Efficient check-in and check-out.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Waste of money"
Arrived and was told they did not have a king size bed like i had reserved so i had to settle for queen size...a/c was messed up, it kept making weird noises....bath towels were stained!!! Tub was dirty...t.v. was old and channels were grainy. Will NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. Waste of money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"70th Bday"
I would highly recommend staying here. The staff is right there to assist in anything you need. Just ask and you shall receive , Or he or she will find out for you! The convenience of a Trolley car to pick you up in front of the Hotel is unbeatable! So, it did not matter that the hotel was at the furthest end of the river walk. Besides, there were river […] taxis too!!. The Trolley is much cheaper. I would definitely stay at El Tropicano again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I loved the quaintness of this old hotel. They pool area is great. Rooms are a little small, but who spends time in there except to sleep. It is located at the north end of the river walk, so the area is a little less occupied. There is construction in the neighborhood, so I anticipate a growing phase. The breakfast buffet is good, but the same everyday. […] The staff was very nice. I would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fun ambiance, affordable and good location"
This is definitely more of a fun hotel and family friendly rather than the upscale romantic getaway type. They have great deals, a pretty good bartender, and a nice pool. I've stayed twice and would stay there again. Ive already tried four other hotels in the San Antonio riverwalk and for the price this place is great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"NIce hotel for a short stay"
The hotel was really nice and welcoming! The room was a little narrow but the bed was very comfortable. Amenitites were good, the bar on site was well stocked and had a great bartender. Nice place to enjoy a weekend getaway.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"riverwalk"
only two elevators and one was out of order. Old hotel not a three stars. will not Recommend to friend and family. Need to paid for parking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great until the last day of my stay!"
Staff were friendly and helpful until check-out time. The room did have an odor that was hard to tolerate. Breakfast was great. On check-out morning called three times for luggage cart or some help to carry bags down. Then I had a problem was my vehicle. My vehicle was damaged while being parked by valet. Assistant manerger took a report of the damage […] to my brand new vehicle and I was told I would be contacted by Monday. I have not been contacted as if yet by hotel staff. Finally I went to check out and front desk staff still wanted to charge me for parking! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
not happy - after check in - the room's lock was not working and had no bath towels along with bathroom door not closing - reported to front desk of door not locking and was told it would be okay -after insisting, we got a different room which worked out great - however, his solution made me uncomfortable and will never stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad for the price"
Yes it is right on the riverwalk but it is not near the action on the riverwalk like we had thought we would be. The hotel room was in good shape on the inside but the outside needs to be renovated a bit more to match the inside.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"El Tropicano, SanAntonio, Texas"
Well kept retro midcentury hotel with funky accoutrements,, full hot breakfast, easily accessible to The Riverwalk and city trolleys. Out of the hustle and bustle of the downtown part of The Riverwalk. Poorly soundproofed and difficult to NOT hear everything your next door neighbors are doing. Everything!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Alright"
The the hotel is pretty nice everything inside is nice and clean and looks pretty decent. It's like a 15 minute walk to the Alamo and all the nice places in the river walk. It's just that walking to the riverwalk is solitary there's nothing around the hotel so that's my only dislike.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not impress!!!"
The place was far from the riverwalk. The rooms look cheaply made. It probably a little better than motel 6 that's about it. Would not come back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"One nighter"
I stayed here for only one night. My stay was pleasant for the most part. When I walked in the room, there was a weird smell but other than that it was fine. They let me check in two hours before scheduled check in so that was cool. The only thing I didn't like was that it was far from all of the night life on the river walk which meant looooong wa […] lks. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Quiet Area; Service needs upgrade"
Getting to the hotel to find out you bought a king bedroom ahead of time but they are sold out when you get there is irritating. Rules need to change. If I pay ahead for a King size bed, why not hold it for me?? You are going to charge me anyway if I don't show up!! The lounge bar was running out of products, so our margaritas were made with orange […] juice and watered down......YUCK! Air Conditioner in room was AWESOME!! VERY COLD, which is how my husband likes it. There was a problem with a bad odor in the lobby by the stairs and restaurant, smelled like backed up toliets on Saturday! Luckily we weren't in the hotel lobby much. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean rooms, fair location, but not a great value"
The hotel was clean and had a friendly staff. You can tell the hotel is a little old and has been remodeled. Not a bad place to stay, but a better value can be founf for the money. One plus is the rooms have a balcony which is great if youre a smoker.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel"
This is a great place to stay if you are looking to see San Antonio on a budget. It is located on the riverwalk, though it a bit of a walk to get to the main attractions. The hotel staff was very friendly and always said "Hi" with a nice smile. The only real thing is tha the rooms are a bit on the small side and the bathrooms are a bit cramped. But […] overall I was very pleased with my stay and would definitely recommend! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Far from Riverwalk, Bad Housekeeping"
If you're looking to stay on Riverwalk near the shops and restaurants, this is NOT your place. I accidentally booked the wrong Holiday Inn on Riverwalk. The other one is awesome. This one is at least a 15 minute walk from the nearest restaurant and the housekeeping leaves something to be desired. They would clean the room, but they wouldn't replace […] our dirty towels or face cloths. They also didn't replace the used glasses. The coffee maker was missing the decanter. However, the gym is nice and the hotel restaurant is good. The staff was friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The El Tropicano in San Antonio"
We made reservations well in advance of our trip and double-checked to make sure we had river view rooms with kings beds. Our room faced the street and we were given 2 double beds. The hotel was full so they couldn't remedy this situation. There were dirty dishes and leftover food outside our room for 2 days. After notifying the front desk, the dishes […] and food were removed but a fork lay on the floor for the remainder of our visit which was 4 days. The staff was nice and courteous and the food good. They were short of help due to spring break but this was no excuse for the uncleanliness when housekeeping was up and down the halls throughout the day. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Holiday Inn in San Antonio"
agree with other postings. $18 to park your own car was pretty high. We had a poolside room which at 3 am was very loud. Had to call the front desk to disperse the smokers camped out outside my room. There were dead crickets on our floor and the A/C didn't work very well. The hotel was very convenient to the auditorium where we were going but I would […] probably not stay here again.

"El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel"
Great hotel, right by the River walk, a little from the centre however a beautiful walk in, during the day or evening. Staff very helpful, excellent service. Bedroom very clean, modern and comfy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Abstenganse de considerarlo como opcion..."
Desafortunadamante no respetaron la reservacion, la habitacion (4 adultos, 2 camas) no estaba disponible, nos ofrecieron 1 cama individual y un "catre"; y esto porque les cancelaron una reservacion en ese momento. El personal solo nos dio esa opcion, asi que optamos por pedir una devolucion (3 dias en recibirla, nada mal). SA estaba lleno por un par […] de convenciones, afortunadamante encontramos habitacion a las afueras de la ciudad. Hotel poco formal y profesional. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
