The El Tropicano Hotel is a nice hotel which does a good job delivering service with an old property and a so-so location. It is located on Lexington Street on the river (museum reach) at the first north bound lock. It has a friendly staff, a terrific hot breakfast offering and a ground level pool. My shower was never hot... More

My wife and I fell in love with El Tropicano while attending a Navy ship's reunion -- a great location on the Riverwalk as water taxis provide the main mode of transportation -- although not down in the bustling commercial center, it provided for a quiet ambience in old San Antone. The staff was amazingly friendly -- usually in big... More

Stayed for an important reunion and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. That is probably what liked the best about this somewhat dated lodging. While across the street from one entrance to the Riverwalk, it is about 15 minutes walk from the main Riverwalk attractions and restaurants we went to. Rooms very reasonably priced (certainly beats staying at domestic... More

I stayed at El Tropicano this last weekend. It was built in the 1960's and supposedly welcomed stars during that era.

Although the rooms need some attention (you can definitely find a bit of peeling wallpaper and such), they are acceptable and we... More

Great service, ambience, super location and a reasonable price. What more could you ask for?? I recommend it highly. More

I'm writing this while I'm on my third day of a business trip in San Antonio staying at the El Tropicano in San Antonio. I'm ready to fall into bed after after a hard day's work and having to get up again tomorrow to conduct more business. It's Saturday night a little after 10 and there's a very loud band... More

Hotel is at the end of the Riverwalk, so it is not in the heart of shopping and restaurants. It is not to far to walk, and if you walk along the river it is really nice. The hotel is old, and it is very obvious from the outside, however they have made some upgrades. The lobby and pool area... More

The hotel is located at the end of the downtown Riverwalk, it is close to the Riverwalk shopping and restaurants. This hotel is an older hotel with upgrades, lots of potential though needs lot of improvement.... The staff were friendly and helpful. ( Marisa C. is a great problem solving & customer service model for recognition ). Although this review... More
