Very good location, but very loud, if your room has the River view. We thought that is a joke, when we found ear plugs in each room, but when you open the balcony door, you are in the middle of all the noise of a "revolution ". With closed doors and windows is not that bad. The music and bars across the river are to their pick until 12 -1 am. All the bedrooms on the river walk side, have no windows. We had an 2 bedroom/ 2bath apartment, laid out as a "train". Just the living/ kitchen are had widows and view. (Probably, to be fair that everyone on that premium side gets a view. ) Ask for River view! I don't want to imagine what disappointed you can be with the other side view. It looks ghetto. The location is worth just on the River walk. Otherwise, you will be disappointed for the price. The hotel entrance, is a joke. At first, we thought that mistakenly the GPS got us to a delivery back door or something , as is not on the River walk. They excused it by saying that is an historical building and can't modify it, but come on...dress the walls in gold, or hang a chandelier , have a door men with white gloves, or something! Show me that you value my business! We arrived late at night, nobody in front of the door, no parking, homeless people on the street...we had to struggle with all our luggage, double parking in the middle of the street to unload...almost ready to give up. Very poor management! I'm not working in the industry, but I know a thing or two as a business woman: if you want to prosper- show your client that you appreciate his/her business! Otherwise, 1st time will be the only time when you get his/her business. I won't go back there, just for this reason. Besides the atmosphere in the hotel, everything else is convenient. The hotel is situated right in the best part of the River walk. (In my opinion, Windham thinks that they give you enough through strategic location , so they keep everything else to minimal experience. ) We had to call maintenance guy, after 2 cold nights with the heater broke. They had to order the part, so we enjoyed the proper temperature in the rooms just for 1or 2 nights out of 7. Don't be afraid to ask for what you are paying for, or expect! Otherwise, enjoyed San Antonio to the maximum! Oh, don't buy the bus pass.it is another joke! The stops are in the middle of nowhere or there is just theoretically something to see, just because it is in the city history at one point. I'm sorry but in LA, California we call that neighborhood, not attractions! (See the pictures! ) Besides Alamo, which is probably 4min. walk from the hotel, nothing should be on the bus stop. And other cultural point that we enjoyed was the market, but you don't have to spend all that money to get there by the bus/boat deal. Do your research before buying ! I wish...
Read moreI have visited San Antonio more times than I can count over the years and when I visit, I always try to find a place of lodging right on or very near the Riverwalk, since that is where I tend to spend most of my time. A good choice for convenience and relatively low cost is the Club Wyndham Riverside Suites.
This hotel is a timeshare facility and is right above the famed Riverwalk. All you do is exit the main level, walk around the side of the building, and look for the arrow pointing down the steps to the Riverwalk. This convenience is easily the hotel’s number one quality, and the relatively low price compared to other Riverwalk hotels is also a plus.
From the outside, Club Wyndham Riverside Suites looks like an apartment building and in many ways, it is, since it is comprised of small condo units. The units offer sizes up to 2 bedrooms complete with small kitchen, refrigerator, dishwasher, etc. Depending on the unit you select, you may also get a small balcony. They keep things reasonably clean and I like that the bedrooms are so dark. There was no outside windows in either of the two bedrooms of the unit I stayed in most recently, and that means no morning sunlight to wake you up.
Like I said, this hotel is nice for convenience and price, but on the cons side of the ledger, there are certain qualities that could make it less than adequate for some travelers. First, there are virtually no amenities in this facility. You can hang out on the common area balcony and use one of the vending machines for a snack or drink, but other than that, there is nothing else here. That could be a deal breaker for those who want a hotel with lots of extras like a pool, exercise room, gift shop, etc. Also, the hotel has no parking garage of its own, so you will have to park elsewhere and walk over, and that means paying a daily fee.
I love the San Antonio Riverwalk and will continue to pay visits here well into the future. Club Wyndham Riverside Suites is a basic place to stay that is good for a quick weekend getaway and ideal for those who just want a place to sleep while they explore the city. It’s a basic hotel and so keep that in mind if you...
Read moreWe stayed here while attending our daughter's graduation from Basic Training and traded a timeshare from Hawaii for this location. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to our expectations or the RCI standard we’re used to.||||My mother booked her room directly through the resort’s website, and surprisingly, her room was twice the size of ours, much cleaner, and came with a beautiful view of the Riverwalk. Meanwhile, our unit—booked through RCI with a trade, AND a higher cost—was half the size, overlooked a street where homeless individuals slept on benches, and felt like it was tucked away in a forgotten alley.||||To be fair, they do warn you about a nearby loud club—though they downplay how close it really is. In truth, there are two clubs sharing a building right next door, and while the noise wasn’t a major issue for us, the area felt very rundown and not particularly welcoming. Even finding the entrance to the hotel took some effort. Parking is another stressor—first come, first serve, so hopefully you arrive early or get lucky.||||While the accommodations were disappointing, I will say the front desk staff were kind. That said, the service was confusing at times—for instance, when we asked for a copy to be made, the attendant walked to the copier, was about to press the button, then suddenly changed her mind and told us we had to go to the second floor to do it ourselves. It felt unnecessarily complicated.||||All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this property—especially not for a trade. There are better places in San Antonio, and even paying out-of-pocket at a different hotel would likely yield a more...
