    All staff, from the valet to the front desk to the bar/restaurant at the riverwalk all hotel personnel were very welcoming, polite and respectful. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay very relaxing. Kudos to the entire staff at the Hilton Palace Del Rio. Also, the hotel room was very nice, especially the balcony which was very relaxing.

    The only thing was I had reserved a room with a view of the Tower of America not knowing a building had been built in front of it... But I was giving a room of the Riverwalk which had a view of the city, so I was glad they gave me that, better than the other view of a hotel.

    As a family of 5 we booked two connecting rooms. This let us see direct differences in rooms. One had minor details different, soap holder vs not, different functioning shower/bath faucets, etc. you can tell the rooms are dated but they are clean and smell fresh and views are great. Really appreciated the water dispensers. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Valet was great. Restaurant that was part of the hotel, staff weren’t friendly or inviting so we did not eat to know how food was. Plenty of nearby places to eat so we just went other places. The pool was dated and dark, those of our family that didn’t swim and just sat in patio furniture were bitten up by something all over lower legs. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would stay again.

    Both pools were closed minutes before an pre booked event. Parking prices are ridiculous and not posted. I didn't learn about it until after checking in. Views are hit or miss. There was a giant roach in the hall way in front of our room. My roommate killed it but left it there and remained there the duration of our stay. Meaning carpeted hallways are not vacuumed. I misplaced an ítem in my room but ended up finding a couple of kids toys. Definitely confirming rooms aren't vacuumed or cleaned well. I always wanted to stay at the River with a balcony. But unfortunately wasn't the best experience. Don't recommend.

    Very clean piece of property. The only problem was that they could not find my reservation that was booked through. Expedia took a good 20 to 30 minutes to get this. Figured out was tired from traveling. So it was discouraging having to wait around 20-30 minutes to let them figure out and find my reservation. Other than that it was a good day. Thank you.

    The staff were very helpful and provided us with the best experience. The pool was clean and my kiddos enjoyed the use of the pool. Plenty of staff on hand walking the pool area and observing the area. We asked for a late check out and the staff were very polite and said “sure no problem”. Very pleased and will be back next summer for two nights.

    Nice hotel on the river walk with multiple dining options. Food was so so. Generally people were nice, but miscommunication about the car and valet was annoying-Teslas need a keycard and a code, they called the room not the guest cell to ask for keycard which they had and then yelled that they needed it now! Excuse me? Hair in shower and coffee maker wasn’t plugged in or even NEAR an outlet…. Don’t make me think at 6am…. Comfy room and bed but the street noise at night will keep you up- hence ear plugs on your night stand, get a room facing the river.

    Pay daily for WiFi? Check. Pay $65 for valet and wait 15-20 minutes for your car and your driver is expecting a tip? Check. Elevator so slow and congested that you have to take 9 flights of stairs down with two small children? Check. It felt like we were constantly nickel and dimed here. The best part was being right on the Riverwalk… I guess that’s why we payed the premium.

    The only reason I booked the hotel was for the pool so my kids could swim, and when we arrived after already paying they informed me that the pool was undergoing maintenance. Very disappointing they should have let me know before I booked.

    We loved our stay at Hilton Del palacio! From the moment you are greeted by Valet the staff is so attentive. The amenities at this hotel and location are the best! You are right off the river walk so many choices for restrants and entertainment steps away from your hotel. The riverwalk boat tour is also across from the hotel. Great location! The room and over all hotel were immaculately clean. We did get a balcony room. we were able to hear a band playing from 1 of the nearby restaurant which was nice. The breakfast included with our stay was good you could order off the menu or choose there breakfast buffet. And the restaurant was off the riverwalk and has patio seating.

    Staff was super friendly. Check-in is at 4pm. However we had to take a very early flight and arrived at the hotel around 9:30am. The staff was able to check us in early and it was perfect as we were tired and wanted to freshen up before exploring. The breakfast was delicious and I am only sorry we could not eat there more. Overall the location is perfect and the main attractions are within reasonable walking distance. Would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone and we will stay here again if we get the opportunity to return.

    It is our third time visiting San Antonio, we have stayed in different hotels, we liked this hotel very much, since you arrive it looks very clean and the staff is very attentive. The only problem we had were the elevators, the hotel has four elevators but apparently only two worked, we stayed on the 14th floor, every time we wanted to use the elevator they were already full and we had to wait between 10 or 20 minutes to be able to go up, the disgust was seen in all the other people. Everything else is fine.

    Location location location. This was a short walk to everything we wanted to do 5-8 min walk. Everyone was so nice from the check in to the cleaning staff to the valets. The only thing that that was a problem was the elevators. Every time the elevators opened they were full and we had to cram in. When we went to check out at 10 am Sunday we waited 30 min for an elevator then finally carried our bags down 7 flights of stairs. So either get up and out early or pack light but we would still stay here again. We loved it.

    Best place to stay on the riverwalk. The hotel is in the middle of the riverwalk and easy access to restaurants. The riverwalk boat tour is a 2 min walk. The breakfast buffet is amazing. Staff makes an omelette your way, endless bacon & sausage, fruit, and the view of the riverwalk if you eat outside. An absolute amazing place to stay and the only place I will stay when visiting San Antonio

The staff was SO kind to me after I was already having a rough day. My room was ready right away, there were so many staff there to help me and greet me. I was so so grateful for the Hilton staff and the location. I can't give enough thanks!

    The only issues we had were the sink and tub with extremely slow drain. They water pressure in the shower was also faint. We did notify the staff member about the issues at checkout and she said they will send maintenance. We enjoyed the beautiful hotel and all the amenities the place had to offer.
