Gayot "In 1909 the International Order of Odd Fellows built a lodge and hotel on the site of the historic battle for The Alamo."
Fodor's "Built in 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this hotel (named for frontiersman Davy Crockett) is a relic of turn-of-the-20th-century San Antonio." Full review

Be sure to take note of the Plaza Riverwalk's lobby. It was built in 1929, the heyday of exuberance.
Star Service "While demanding travelers will want to stick with the usual suspects—Westin, Menger, Hotel Valencia and Omni La Mansion del Rio, budgeters looking for value cannot go wrong here.

Ask for a room with a terrace overlooking the river.
