I am a member of the Australian Defence Force and chose to stay at the Riverwalk Plaza after reading several reviews, especially one written by a retired member of the US Navy.
I travel extensively throughout the Middle East and Europe in my current assignment and stay at mostly 5 Star and above hotels.
The Riverview Plaza Hotel is not a 5 Star Hotel, however the level of service provided, location and appointment of the rooms were very good. The room rate included free in room internet access and a light breakfast. Parking was at a additional cost of $12 per day, however the rate is much cheaper than the larger hotels and about the same if not cheaper than trying to park in Parking Stations in Downtown San Antonio.
The hotel is within walking distance to all major tourist attractions and places to eat in Downtown San Antonio (Alamo, Hardrock etc).
Lastly and very important to me was the fact the Staff were always friendly and willing to assist if required. Nothing seemed to be to much trouble to them.
I would definitely stay at the Riverview Plaza again if I was to return to San Antonio for leisure or work and I would recommend it to anyone considering visiting San Antonio.
