Top Universal City Hotel Reviews

Menger Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful old historic hotel with lots of charm. The staff was very attentive to my needs"

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean staff super nice"

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the location and haunted history of this hotel. The hotel was a very short walk to everything. Did not need my car at all. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options to choose from. The only down side was that the ice machine on all of the floors were not working. Also, the valet was way too expensive. I would advise to do self parking unless you don’t mind spending a C-note for two nights."
