Nice stay
Pros:

Staff was friendly and informative
Was a starbuck in the hotel -staff was alittle more condescending in this area

Cons:

Just the Starbucks In this hotel - staff might need more training on attitude with simple questions like what flavors do you have or do you do cold foam

Great Hotel in San Antonio
Pros:

We stayed at The Hilton Palacio Del Rio this weekend while attending the AC/DC concert and this hotel is amazing. Very well kept hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable in this Texas heat. Ours had a heat city view over looking the River Walk. We were fortunate enough to have Julia as our server several times, she is top notch. Always very polite and very responsive to our questions and our needs. Our glasses never went empty, which is huge for us. The food was amazing, I am pretty sure we covered every food venue they have and there are several. This is a must stay if you are visiting the River Walk or San Antonio in general

Nice property, but horrible because of the noise.
Pros:

Good location and nice enough staff but holy cow… the NOISE! Even on the 12th floor the music is so loud you feel like you’re right next to it. Probably one of the worst things about this hotel…valet is another area that needs work.

If you are “upgraded” to a river side/river view room, DECLINE it unless you like being kept awake until well after midnight.
