"Good stay"

Canopy San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"We liked the property as well as the location. We loved the complementary water and beer upon arrival. What we didn’t like was the price of valet parking, it’s very pricey, and the only other option were parking structures that were located offsite. We also weren’t happy that certain complementary items that were available were not mentioned to us at check-in so we were unable to use them."

"Great location and price. Well run hotel with free breakfast."
