    Not hanger pole, they removed them.  Why?  The workers didn't know
    Nick O.

    Terrible hotel for how expensive it is. Valet is $70, but you come to find out that it takes them 15 to 30 minutes to fetch your car, so plan ahead. The luggage carts: they removed the hanging poles from them so that you can't hang your suit bags, so stupid. Then their bar was closed for a private event on a Thursday. And then the gas heater in the patio didn't work. And you have to order ice to your room, which takes 30 minutes. Be ready to spend over $35 for a breakfast burrito and a coffee. Plain old coffee $6. And what's with the stupid tiny glasses and cups. See picture. They are trying so hard to be boutique, and the results are a subpar Super 8. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

    Though they can't control this, pretty much every street ensconcing this hotel was under construction. Traffic was a complete CF and the traffic womble kept trying to divert people the wrong way down a road closure to a one way flow. At least she was trying? Check in was pretty smooth and our room looked really cool!! And that's about it. The bed had 2 pillows per person that were made out of confetti and completely collapsed on you. The bed itself was apparently designed for Fred Flinstone to sleep on it was so hard. The sheets were nice and crunchy as well. (Update. I had enough. New pillows were requested...which were worse and like a sock with cotton balls inside.) The towels were also nice and crispy and reeked of bleach and felt like toweling off with 500 grit sandpaper. The AC was broke? Never came on so mid 70's for us for the duration. (Update after vents were OPENED...room finally started to cool down...then we had to leave...) There was 1 box of tissue that had obviously been dropped in water, soaked through, and never replaced. Upon asking for new tissues we were given a roll of paper towels from the public bathroom hand drying station. Extra toilet paper was supplied on day 2. The coffee machine did not stop at 1 cup and pumped the entire reservoir into the small cups causing a coffee overflow situation. So it was abandoned lobby coffee was drinkable-ish. Whataburger again to the rescue. The shower was broken and ran constant drips. Also the drain to the shower was clogged. No wonder they have concrete floors for the inevitable lake the overflow will cause at some point. The washing items...diabolical. It was some "plant based" gobbledygook that was from New York (should tell you all you need to know) that made you smell like the Hudson...or reek. Your choice. Ewww. Fortunately we travel with our own. The "fridge" was more of a "slowly warm your drinks" machine. We had to request extra towels washcloths and hand towels. 2/3 elevators did not work half the time. There was no in room microwave to warm things if needed. The ice machine in the hallway functioned every 3rd try. Then not at all. The restaurant Domingo was very nice. Prices. Not so much. $16 for 1 bacon and some powdered scrambled eggs?!? To Whataburger!!!! More on this later as well. Whew!!! As someone who travels a lot, and for $250 a night...sadly this could have been WAY better and was only compounded by St. Patrick's day tourists. Which is confusing using SA as an SPD destination...but ok. Rock solid 2 stars. And that is a might bit generous

    Concrete floors in a dog-friendly room

    My husband and I stayed at this wonderful hotel for our first trip ever to San Antonio. One cannot beat the proximity to the Riverwalk and all that San Antonio has to offer. The Riverwalk is right downstairs, and it is 0.3 miles from the Alamo! The rooms are spacious and have a fun contemporary vibe. This is a dog friendly hotel, and we loved that our two small dogs could join us. The rooms are also very soundproof! Fewer unknown noises to concern our pups! Rooms were very clean upon arrival! And I loved the shower design. But what really makes this place stand out is the staff! EVERY SINGLE employee that we interacted with was pleasant and seemed genuinely happy that we chose to stay there. Parking tip: Valet is $65 a night, but there is a self park garage across the street for $40 a night!

    Hotel rooftop bar
    Chalupa B.

    Beautiful hotel, especially if you get a balcony suite facing the Riverwalk. And the heart of downtown has a dedicated rooftop bar in a restaurant which is on the Riverwalk. Extremely friendly staff will stay at this location upon my next visit to San Antonio.

    I WAS HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH MY STAY HERE AT THE CANOPY. I luckily get to travel frequently for work and this time I had the pleasure coming out to San Antonio and knew I wanted to stay on the Riverwalk. After looking at reviews on Yelp, it was really hard for me to decide where to stay, however the modern asthetic/ design of the hotel is what caught my eye and their location. I AM SO GLAD I BOOKED MY 3 NIGHT STAY HERE. Since I am a Gold Member with Hilton, I was able to get a complimentary upgrade to a Riverwalk view. On top of it, I got a $30 day credit for food and breverage that i got use at their resteraunt which is very good and worth checking out. Went up to my room on the 15 floor (1514) and I LOVED IT! SUPER SPACIOUS ROOM, high quality furniture/ decor. I loved the granite floors and the floor to ceiling windows as it gave the room such a modern view. The bathroom area was huge and loved the title. The water pressure was perfect and the water got hot easily. The nespresso machine was a nice touch. Also, the rooms controls (TV, AC, ect,) can be controlled from your Hilton app! Service here on top of it was amazing. Every time I interacted with the guest line for more nespresso pods or anything, they were kind and sent it up right away! Honestly don't hesitate to stay here, they are worth every penny! 5/5 stars if you ask me. Thank you Canopy for the great hospitality!

    Used cup and towel

    After checking in somewhat late Thursday night, we walked up to a dirty room. Not just a little dirty, there were used cups, towels, a messy bed, and feces covering the toilet. It was absolutely disgusting and set a bad tone for the rest of the night/trip. I felt gross about everything I touched after that. They offered a $50 credit toward breakfast, but that feels so minimal for spending $200+ on a room and the $18 location fee to walk into a nasty room.

    Valet assistance helped right away, but takes time to pick up car. A gentleman greeted us outside and warned us flooring remodel noise and offered us to wait outside as he checked us in. It was fine and he got us to our room right away. Our room was 916 and it was a tad on the small side. View on riverwalk from up top. It's an industrial modern feel. We visited the restaurant, Domingo's and they were attentive and swift with service! I loved the location of this hotel as getting on the riverboats are just under the bridge.

    Even more dessert from the hotel restaurant

    The Canopy in San Antonio is a no-frills hotel located on St. Mary's street and the river walk. It features a restaurant, Domingo, downstairs on the riverwalk level. The parking situation appears to be valet; I didn't drive, so I can't comment on that experience. But the valets do open the front entrance doors if they are around. When you enter, the checkin area is to the right at a "desk" that has space for 2 staff. They will kindly check baggage for you if you arrive early. The lobby area is actually a bit small. There are some TVs and a bit of seating. Elevator access is keycard controlled. The hotel has more than 20 floors. Lobby bathrooms are actually downstairs by Domingo (curl around behind the elevators). Going up, there exists water bottle fillers for each floor--it seems to be tap water, but it isn't particular pleasant tasting. The rooms have concrete floors. Room controls (aka the TV) can be controlled through the Hilton app. I stayed in a room that faces St. Mary's street. A divider exists between the sleeping area and the bathroom area / entrance. The sink is separated from the toilet and shower via a sliding door. The room had a nice view of swimming pool / spa area of the Mokara Hotel & Spa, as well as the Torch of Friendship statue. Location-wise, this hotel is well situated. The hotel restaurant Domingo appears to be quite popular, so if it's too busy, you could just order takeout from there. It's an easy walk to anywhere bounded by the interstates. It's only a couple blocks away from the light show at the San Fernando Cathedral, has easy access to 3 branches of riverwalk, etc. A quiet and clean room good for a simple stay.

    Very delicious drinks, highly recommend or a date night cocktail. The food was equally as good.nice atmosphere downtown with friendly staff. Would recommend for any occasion. If you are downtown you might as well stop by!

    I am so glad we booked this hotel based on the Trip Advisor score (5.0) rather than the Yelp score (3.7). This hotel was amazing start to finish. I'm a diamond member so we had already been upgraded prior to arrival. At arrival the front desk offered us a suite upgrade for a small fee. It was worth every dime. The room was amazing, the service was wonderful, the restaurant and bar were both great. I have 0 complaints. Every staff we interacted with was professional and friendly far beyond a typical hotel experience for the area. We will be back. I have stayed at most every hotel in the riverwalk area at this point and this is probably my favorite for the money. It's not a 5 star hotel (there's only two of those in the riverwalk area and they charge 2-4x the price of this hotel), so it doesn't have a grand entrance or lobby. It's a well-curated boutique hotel with only a few rooms per floor. The suite was super clean, very modern, insanely large shower (honestly like 7ftx7ft), and well thought out design. It's in the perfect area of the riverwalk, right by everything. It's literately connected to Esquire, my favorite bar in the area. Know that this is a popular area of the riverwalk, and suites are the only rooms with balconies and are on the lower floors--so if you're going for a weekend, there will be some noise pollution at night, but nothing crazy. In addition to the excellent layout, I want to point out a few pros and cons of the room for the easily changeable parts of the stay. Pros: The room had a fabric steamer, not an iron. This came in handy perfectly to steam out the creases in a new shirt I bought while in town and wanted to wear. The TVs had accessible HDMI ports so we didn't have to unplug anything or do anything weird like at a lot of hotels to plug in our travel Roku. The coffee machine is a Nespresso. The bathroom very smartly has a large open faced cabinet that handled our luggage and clothing simply. The fridge is a pull out drawer which was chic and super easy to use for our drinks. There's a filtered water dispenser super close to all the rooms and a clean bottle in the room to refill--so you don't have to drink hotel sink water or bring a bunch of bottles. Cons: The shampoo, soap, etc are all a high curated brand but the scent was definitely not for me. They call it charcoal infused but it smelled like campfire to me. Thankfully I brought my own. The room didn't come with an extra blanket anywhere. I'm sure I could have easily called the desk and gotten one, but it would have been nice on such a cold weekend. The room has glasses but no stemware. Maybe everyone isn't a lush like we are but stemware in the room would have been nice. We did ask the front desk and it wasn't available, she told us we could go ask the restaurant. That seems like something the manager should address. The TP in the bathroom should be upgraded to something less...motel 6. That's my honest review. We loved our stay and will be back soon!

    Very modern hotel in downtown San Antonio. Walking distance to the river walk. Although the city right now has a lot of construction. Rooms are spacious and clean. There's water refill stations on every floor. There's a small gym and restaurant and bar on site. There's only valet parking which does take a while to get the car. Would recommend staying here.

What set it apart wasn't simply the beautiful hotel or location -- it was the level of personal care. Ariel at the concierge desk was wonderful. She helped arrange safe airport transportation for my friend when she arrived before me and, when my flight was significantly delayed, made sure she could check in without me. Being stuck traveling and knowing she was in good hands was invaluable. We were welcomed with a personal note, fruit, flowers and champagne, and then surprised with more birthday treats during our spa day. Those thoughtful details made the entire stay feel special. And the SPA! Easily one of the best I've ever visited. Being able to truly relax before and after our treatments -- especially in the beautiful post-treatment lounge -- made it an experience rather than simply a massage appointment. Jessica gave me what was quite literally the best massage I've ever had (and I've had a lot of massages!). Even the little things stood out: complimentary morning coffee delivered through room service and an incredibly kind and helpful room-service attendant. Luxury hotels can have beautiful rooms and impressive amenities. What made Mokara exceptional was how genuinely cared for we felt from beginning to end. The personal touches made all the difference. Mokara will absolutely be at the top of my list the next time I'm in San Antonio. Five stars without hesitation.

I was initially bummed that Ostra was closed for a private event during my stay, BUT my disappointment quickly turned to excitement when I saw the same dish offered on the room service menu. YES!!

Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary.

The host Amber was friendly and told us about the San Antonio Saga at the San Fernando Cathedral. She also told us about the Pearl District, but I don't think we will have time to visit this trip. The happy hour was nice. The bartender Steve hustled when they got busy! He smiled and was very appreciative of tips!. I think most people forget the importance of tips to these guys! The snacks the first night were mixed snacks and goldfish, chips and salsa and tomatillo sauce veggie platter and crackers. (Oddly, no cheese for the crackers) the second night, chips and fresh made onion dip and cheese and crackers. Great stay at a nice location!

    Their website pictures accurately describe the beauty and comfort of the Embassy Suites San Antonio…read moreRiverwalk, but pictures can't capture what really makes this hotel exceptional: the people. Although there was no text option to request my car, that hardly mattered--the valet team was lightning-fast in retrieving it. The complimentary evening reception was exactly what you hope for after a long day. Thorin (learned her dad was a Hobit fan) and kept the conversations, cocktails and beer welcoming and plentiful, and the chef's homemade hummus, graciously offered to evening guests, is THE best hummus I've had in all my worldly travels. Seriously--it deserves its own mention. Breakfast brought another memorable experience. I met Amber, who moved from table to table like an elegant hummingbird with a purpose, making sure guests were enjoying themselves and everything was right. She suggested I try the made-to-order omelet. I hesitated after seeing a line of about 15 people, walked away and she insisted I go back as she assured me it moved quickly. She wasn't wrong. My custom omelet was prepared in less time than it would have taken a chicken to lay the eggs--and it was excellent. Jose, "the boss," monitors the guest experience from afar, engaging appropriately when needed and clearly making sure the entire operation maintained its quality. You can see the teamwork. And I saved the best for last. "OB" (O'Brian) greeted me at the front desk and took the time to determine what mattered to me in selecting a room--did I prefer the view or amenities? Somehow, I ended up with both. More importantly, OB remained engaged throughout my stay with the comfortable familiarity of someone I'd known for years rather than someone I'd just met at a hotel desk. He made me feel like family returning to an overdue reunion than a stranger looking for a room. I'll certainly return for the comfort and the convenient proximity to the Centre Club and the River Walk. But what makes Embassy Suites San Antonio Riverwalk, 125 E. Houston Street, my newly discovered place of retreat is something harder to advertise in photographs: the genuine friendliness, humor, hospitality, and teamwork of the people who work there. Beautiful property. Great location. Wonderful amenities. Exceptional people--and that's what will bring me back.

    Disclaimer: This review is for their excellent valet service and courtesy EV charging. My hotel did…read morenot offer an EV charger, but the Hyatt Regency was just a block or so away and it popped up in my EV charger Google search. When I got to their valet I explained how I was not staying with them but I needed an overnight charge so that I can make it back to Austin the next morning. They were super nice and helpful and explained how the charger was in use but that it would be freed up soon. They promised to do it for me so I didn't have to worry about waiting on the other vehicle. The next morning my 2020 Nissan LEAF was fully charged and ready to go! Additional disclaimer: I'm not sure what brand they have but I got a sense that it might be a Tesla level 2 charger (AKA "destination charger"). So while my LEAF has a standard J1772 port, I also happen to have a quality NACS to J1772 adapter. So good idea to have one just in case, because I can't verify what type they use. Just a heads up it got my attention when the valet asked me if I had an adapter. Anyway, shout out to the valet staff. I am so sorry I forgot the name of the person who retrieved my car, he was great and when I dropped it off, Armando and Alec were super courteous and helpful as well. I realize valet companies are not part of the hotel, but they are often times your first interaction/impression, and these guys are top notch. One more disclaimer: overnight parking is quite expensive, but it was just a little more than my hotel would have charged me anyway. So while very convenient, this was not cheap.

And it was my absolute favorite Luxury Hotel by Marriott!! Until.... the last time we stayed there. We booked a room for ourselves and for our son's family. We upgraded both of the rooms with our benefits. I was so excited!! But..... I do not know what wing they put us in but the rooms were in great need of updating. There were stains on the carpet, and on the couch, and lamp shades were broken, curtains torn and and and.... I was embarrassed to have ranted and raved to my son about how amazing this hotel was!!! I shared this experience with the manager and he promised to make it up to us. But that did not happen. I spent months emailing, calling, and attempting to get some resolution for the time spent and $ that I paid, for what I thought was going to be another amazing experience, just to be blown off. Raza was one of my contacts for a minute but then I never heard back from him. The reason I am writing this again and now is because I have been a HUGE Marriott Hotel fan and loyal customer for years and years and over the last few years I have to say....This is becoming the norm!!! It truly saddens me because this was my absolute favorite hotel!! It is so beautiful, and carries so much history and then whoever was on duty just let it fall apart. Im grateful for my "amazing" times there but alas sad the last experience was what it was and most importantly there was never any resolution..... Hopefully things can get back on track for the amazing beautiful St. Anthony that I fell in love with!!
