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!
