A blend of Latin Tropics mixed with early 60's glamour define the look of the El Tropicano, Holiday Inn's newest hotel on the Riverwalk. El Tropicano is conveniently located on the banks of the Riverwalk and less that one mile from the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. The hotel is close to popul...

San Antonion 2006 - user review

Not worth it - user review
I was disappointed by the hotel. It is being renovated, which makes it look tacky. It was clean, but kinda gross with chipped painted, peeling wallpaper, etc. The walls are paper thin and we could hear the people next to us ALL NIGHT and morning. None of the ice machines work. The tub was gross in t...

I would stay there again. - user review
Major renovations created some inconvenience, but the people were nice and the room clean. No in room internet connections in some areas because of construction. .The Riverwalk area of San Antonio is an exciting social scene.

The hotel was fabulous! The tropical theme was great, and the staff was friendly. The hotel is great for both families and couples.

Poor customer service - user review
The hotel was nice. It is clean, and our room was comfortable. We would have loved it except for the poor customer service. When we arrived, at 4:00pm, one of our two rooms was not ready. Our son was staying in a room that adjoined ours, so we sat in his room until ours was done. However, we were aw...

This hotel looks like it will be nice in the near future. At this time (Aug 28, 2006), it is being refurbished. There is a lot of demolition and updating going on.

Great river view from our room - user review
This hotel was clean, comfortable, nice. Would definitely recommend it. They have done (and are doing) renovations to the rooms, it looked like. It's an older hotel but the renovations make it pretty cool! Cleanliness and safety are my biggest issues, and this one passed both tests. Traveler's tip o...

Tiny rooms. The lobby stunk like rotten fish at breakfast time. A small cup of coffee at the lobby bar was $2.15 more expensive than Starbucks. This is techically on the river but it is a 15 minute walk to the commercial section of river. No chance would...

Pleasant Enough - user review
Very expensive for what is just a very basic and small room, but it was definitely comfortable enough. You don't travel to San Antonio to spend all your time in a hotel room anyway!

We really liked the staff and enjoyed the stay. Definately worth what we paid thru Expedia. THe only down side was that the hotel is being renovated (we did not know this when we booked).

El Tropicana river walk is on its way to becoming a very nice hotel due to renovations. But for the moment, the older rooms are not up to the classification of a 3 star hotel.

I would classify it more as a 2 star hotel. The front desk girl was very rude. She never even cracked a smile as we were checking in. She seemed annoyed to do her job.
