The hotel is in a historic area of San Antonio about 1 block from the entrance to the River Walk. Nice pool area, great service, clean rooms.

Our room faced the beautiful old courthouse and was spacious, amenities were generous and across the street from Riverwalk

Riverfront Hotel Reflecting Alamo City's History
San Antonio’s River Walk represents the convergence of two San Antonio’s—the bustling, southwest metropolis and the historical Spanish outpost. The popular shopping district’s boutiques and restaurants line a 2.5-mile stretch of the San Antonio River, whose lazy waters pass beneath the blackened iron frame of the Presa Street Bridge. Presa means dam and refers to 15 miles of hand-dug acequia ditches that irrigated the farmland of San Antonio’s five Spanish missions. The bridge hints at the origin story of America's seventh-largest city, a biography that begins with the first and most famous of those mission churches and the site of the most important battle in Texas history—the Alamo. Down the river and roughly 15 yards south of the River Walk, history surfaces again at the Riverwalk Plaza Hotel & Suites, where poster-size monochrome photographs line guest-floor hallways, chronicling the nearby Franciscan missions, the 1968 world's fair, and the buildup of downtown.
Most east-facing river-view rooms feature a small balcony for viewing the 750-foot Tower of the Americas or teasing pigeons with complimentary Otis Spunkmeyer cookies; poolside rooms face the fourth-floor courtyard and heated pool. Those looking to relax onsite have a few options: a lending library on the ground floor houses dozens of borrowable reads, and the lively but small Bar-Salona serves house-made drinks and Dos Equis on draft. Adjacent to the hotel lobby, Signature Tapas Bistro opens early and serves international small plates until 10 p.m.
San Antonio: History and Culture on Banks of Winding River
Along the walkways and countless bridges scattered around the San Antonio River's downtown loop, picturesque eateries and bars transcend the commotion at street level. The vibe lands somewhere between that of a Venetian canal and a canyon gorge, minus the motorcycle stuntmen. Each twist of the River Walk path presents little surprises—intriguing landscaping, compelling views, or public art, such as a school of glass fishes suspended below a bridge on the walk's newly opened extension reaching north to the San Antonio Museum of Art.
A few blocks east of the river, the Alamo remains the most-visited tourist site in Texas. Though it’s an integral part of local and state history, the famous site is actually one of five historic Spanish missions clustered around the San Antonio River. Travelers looking to avoid the touristy bustle can head 5 miles south of downtown to explore Mission San José, the largest of the missions, whose famed Rose Window is once again on view after an extended renovation.
