La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good
"The hotel is located in a good area. It’s close enough to River Walk and also the Convention Center. Breakfast is what you would expect for a free breakfast. Want something different, Dennys is across the street. My only suggestion to the hotel would be to get larger pool towels. They were small and looked like cleaning towels. You needed 2-3 just to dry off."

"Clean, close restaurants and coffee, but the room was so tiny. We could barely move around in there. Only 1 elevator made it long to get up and down at dinner time and checkout. It’s a tiny elevator so not many fit."
