Full Review

Scene

This 30-floor, 512-room hotel caters to both leisure and business travelers, with basic amenities that work well for both.

Although not as grand in scale as its sister property, the Marriott Rivercenter, Marriott Riverwalk is still a fairly large facility. The lobby is decorated in sophisticated southwestern decor, with wood accents, tile, warm colors, and a striking light fixture covered in faux candles -- but there's no real seating area, and guests have limited room to lounge. Meeting spaces are on the ground floor. A side door near the bar provides direct access to the pleasant riverside.

Location

Rooms

Comfortable yet plainly decorated rooms with basic amenities; some have river-view balconies

Decorated in a warm, southwestern-style decor, the Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk's rooms are comfortable, if a tad generic for an urban high rise. River-facing rooms feature a balcony with outdoor seating.- Wired Internet (for a fee)

Bathrooms feature Paul Mitchell products and granite countertops
Mini-fridge and coffeemaker

Rooms near elevators can be noisy
