The El Tropicano Hotel is in the center of downtown San Antonio on the Riverwalk. The rooms are very clean and updated and the personal service was wonderful. Every staff member was always there to help with any need. There is a superior Fitness Center and a swimming pool that is located at the center of the action. During my... more

No big deal room, with a lovely view of the AC units overlooking the pool. They advertise this as on the river walk, but that is a stretch, as it is right by the construction people expanding it about 10 feet from the hotel. The mattress was great, and the pillows were good. Bathroom shower head was coming out of... more

For 50$ a night (from priceline.com), this was a real bargain. Yes, we got a small lousy room near the ice machine. Yes, the air conditioning made the noise of an idling truck. However, it was not hot, so we turned it off. The bathroom is very small, with little counter space, but everything was very clean and in working... more

If you like dirty rooms, a less than knowledgeable staff and a management staff that is complacent ... this is the place you've been looking for. Toilet had urine, feces and pubic hair on the seat. Hair on shower wall, tile floor in bath area was very dirty. Old used hand towel behind coffe pot. Some type of goo dripping... more

We booked a weekend stay at the El Tropicano during spring break. The check in was quick and friendly. The service for the entire weekend was first rate. We had a large room. The room was very nice. The kids loved the flat screen TV. The bedding was great. We were suprised to find out that the large swimming pool... more

I stayed for 3 nights on a spring break trip with my family in March 2008. Check-in was a breeze and my room was very clean and comfortable. Room service was very fast and the breakfast was great. I used the fitness area twice and it was very clean, all the equipment worked well. The pool and jacuzzi area was... more

Room was a bit crowded with the 2 regular beds, 1 dresser, 1 desk, 1 coffee stand(new style coffee pot that brews coffee or tea pouches/pods..neat) and closet. Beds and pillows were comfortable and clean smelling. Bathroom has toilet that is sort of lower to the ground and nearly no counter space(maybe 16 inches by 8 inches? I dunno). Had... more

The hotel was located near enough to the Riverwalk for a good time and far enough to get away from it. Their 2 man band could absolutely mimic anything Santana has ever played and they were wondeful. Overall a very nice and well trained staff that made our stay enjoyable. We'll stay there again! more
