"The upper-middle-range Embassy Suites is in a prime downtown location, close to tons of restaurants, nightlife, and major attractions -- and directly on the famous River Walk." Full review
Gayot "This all-suite hotel is convenient to a variety of attractions. ... The highlight of this hotel is Luke, its house brasserie."
Frommer's "Each suite offers two rooms—separate living and sleeping spaces—with a pull-out sofa, flat-screen TVs with cable and in-suite movies in each room." 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.

Gayot "The location couldn't be better for guests doing business downtown. It is also ideal for those visiting historic city sights."
Fodor's "One of the best values among River Walk hotels, the Drury Inn & Suites is in the landmark Petroleum Commerce Building on the riverfront." Full review

Ask for a room with a terrace overlooking the river.
Frommer's "Both the grand high-ceilinged design and the prime location are not what you’d expect from moderately priced digs, where a hot breakfast and happy-hour snacks and drinks are included in the room rate. " Full review
Frommer's "A hot breakfast and happy-hour snacks and drinks are included in the room rate. The rooftop pool affords views of the San Fernando Cathedral." Full review
