We are checking out of the Drury this morning. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. There is so much included in the price. The hotel is beautiful and is right on the riverwalk.
The morning breakfast is great and the free happy hour in the afternoon is a plus, but you are limited to three drinks and they are small drinks. Too bad they don't offer to sell extra drinks. We booked thru the hotel's website and we got a large room for 110.00 a night. Our only issue with the room was in the Alamo tower that faced the downtown area and the trash trucks run at 5:30 am, I was awakened to trash bins banging and the trucks reverse beeper going off. This was only one day on Friday and it was much more quiet on Saturday.

The staff is very friendly and helpful at every turn. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. My only complaint is for a hotel this size, they don't have an on site resturaunt or bar. It would be nice to have a place to just sit and relax and have a drink after a day of navigating the chaos on the riverwalk.

The hotel retained a lot of the old character of the original bank building. The lobby is beautiful. My wife could have sat for hours just looking at the details from days gone by. The parking is $18.00 a day, but comparable to any other close by parking and there is unlimited in/out where other garages charge for in/out. I think all the free amenities make up for the parking charge.

The hotel appears to pet friendly as we saw a lot of people with pets, there we even two birght guests who decided to bring their dogs to breakfast, which as far as I know is against health codes, but management quickly stepped in and advised the guests they could not have dogs in a food area.

Overall is was a great stay and we will return and look at using other Drury properties in the future.

I absolutely loved this hotel! It is not just a hotel. It is the Old Alamo Bank Building redone into a hotel-very unique. I am extremely picky about hotels-cleanliness in particular. The best thing about Drury Plaza is that you walk right out onto the riverwalk which we visited every evening. I also loved the fantastic breakfast each morning. We filled up each morning and was good for the day, snacking during the day until we ate on the river each night. The rooftop pool and hot water tub was so cool. The nightly snacks and drinks were great! The service and friendliness was fantastic. If you told them you needed your car for a certain time it was right there waiting. I just cannot say enough! It was amazing!

We stayed for 5 days at the Drury Plaza last week and had a great time. We were celebrating our 1st anniversary and really enjoyed San Antonio.

We arrived on a Sat. afternoon and cab to hotel was about $25 with tip. The only negative for the entire stay was the front desk. The lady that checked us in was not pleasant. She had a bad attitude and was not very helpful in our short encounter with her. I was surprised because so many reviews had mentioned how nice the staff was. Fortunately, this was the exception to what was otherwise friendly and helpful employees.

We had a non-smoking king bed jacuzzi room on the 14th floor. The view wasn't the greatest, but that was irrelevant to us. The room a little smaller than I expected, although there was a desk and a big chair. The tv was in front of the bed sitting on where the mini fridge and microwave were housed. There was a ceiling fan and the bathroom had a 2 person jacuzzi tub which my husband made a lot of use out of most nights.

Each morning we had free breakfast buffet which consisted of pancakes, eggs, sausage, cereals, biscuits, etc. This is located on the 2nd floor above the lobby. Weekdays it runs 6-9:30 and 7-10 on weekends. There is also free popcorn and soda here from 3 - 10 and a happy hour from 5:30-7 each night that had nachos, pretzels, cheddar goldfish, and some trail mix. You are allowed 3 free drinks each during this time. For people, especially families, looking to save money the Drury would be an excellent choice.

There are 6 free internet computers and a couple of printers in a little room on the lobby floor. This is open 24 hrs. They just ask that you be considerate of others if there is anyone waiting.

There is a small exercise room on the 23rd floor. Not a lot there, but good enough for anyone needing to get some cardio in. I believe there was a bike, elliptical, and a treadmill or 2.

The outdoor pool and hot tub was a nice convenience, although they should keep it open past 10. The views are good from up there.

There is no restaurant currently, but was totally insignificant with so many right out the lower level door on the riverwalk.

In summary, we found the Drury Plaza to be a very good deal and would definately recommend it for anyone wanting good value on the riverwalk! We will be back!

We stayed for just 1 night on the 27th of June. Seaworld was on our agenda but arrived early to gather in some Riverwalk time. This Hotel is SWEET, with plenty of extras! We paid $119 for a family of 3 and King size room. Room was big enough to have a recliner, office space and a fridge/microwave. A little crowded but still cozy. Free Breakfast buffet is included in your price as well as 3 "drink "vouchers per adult for your enjoyment. The drinks are served nightly between 5:30 pm and 7pm and usually served with free snacks like popcorn, nachos, pretzels etc. Breakfast consists of pancakes, eggs, fruit, cereal, susage, biscuits, bagels, coffee, juice and so on. Every room has a LCD flat screen TV and the view from our room was magnificent. This Hotel is on the Riverwalk and on the quiet side. You can literally walk 4 blocks to the Alamo/Rivercenter mall. Take a 4 block walk in the other direction and you will arrive at the always popular Market Square. The Staff at Drury Plaza was friendly and courteous, from the Hotel manager to the valet guys. Book this hotel directly from their website to get the best price. When we return to San Antonio later this Summer we are definitley staying here again!
