SpringHill Suites San Antonio Alamo Plaza/Convention Center

Went here with family and the stay was amazing. Pretty close to the Alamo and the Riverwalk so it was a nice convenient place to stay at. Would go back if ever back in town.

Great place to stay for access to the Riverwalk & Alamo. Nice big rooms, bath a little small. Comfortable beds & pillows. Great outdoor HEATED pool. Nice breakfast. Pleasant staff. Small lobby bar and large gathering space.

After doing a lot of research on hotels close to the Alamo, I chose this Springhill with cautious optimism. The caution turned out to be unwarranted. Every part of the stay, from check-in to the valet to breakfast, exceeded my expectations. Outside of two rude staff members who tried to shoo people out of the pool well before closing, everyone working at the hotel was helpful and pleasant at the level you would expect at a four-star property. The room was immaculately clean and had a great view of the downtown (and one wall of the Alamo complex). The hotel itself does not sit on the Riverwalk, but is still conveniently located only a couple of blocks away from the Alamo and entrances to the Riverwalk. My only word of caution to those expecting a "sofa bed" is that you're actually going to get a trundle cot that pulls out from under the couch, rather than folding out from the top of it. This was a non-issue for me, but my kids didn't want to sleep on it because it's essentially a mattress in a drawer at floor level. Be aware that a chaotic breakfast area seems to be the norm at this hotel, so much so that they put flyers in the elevators explaining what times of day have higher crowd levels. We did visit on Memorial Day weekend, so it was probably even more chaotic than usual, but it is the only property I've ever had to wait in a queue ten minutes just to make a waffle. Even so, the breakfast staff kept everything smooth, clean, and well-stocked. When it was time to leave, valet had my car pulled out of the lot and parked in the portico in less than five minutes. For a hotel close enough to walk to everywhere in downtown San Antonio, without suffering the nosebleed prices of those directly on the Riverwalk, this property is a winner all the way around.
