San Antonio Hotels

[jimmyjazz]

Need a quick tip on which of the following four Riverwalk area hotels in San Antonio would be the nicest:

Sheraton Gunter
Crockett
El Tropicana
Radisson

Based on some quick online research, I've listed them in order of initial preference (best to worst). Any help here?

The Gunter is definitely nice, but avoid the El Tropicana. That place is dumpy.

Thanks . . . we requested the Gunter. It's just a freebie we got from a rewards club, so we're restricted to a group of hotels we usually don't use. (We usually take the whole family to the Hill Country Hyatt or the two of us will go to the Menger.)

second the avoiding of the El Tropicana. It was host to a convention I was attending a couple of weekends ago so it was convenient to stay there. Big mistake. Among other things, I literally had to move the chair near the desk every time I went to the bathroom because the room was so small. The parking was full so their advice was find a spot on the streets to park! Never again. (complained enough that they let me park in a manager's spot but couldn't do anything about the room).
