Best Western SeaWorld San Antonio

Best Western SeaWorld San Antonio

10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Stay Near SeaWorld! We had a really good experience at this Best Western. The hotel smelled fresh and clean as soon as we walked through the door, and that cleanliness continued throughout the property. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel also offers free breakfast, which was a nice bonus. The pool area was clean and enjoyable. The water was actually nice and warm from getting direct sunlight, which we loved! I also really appreciated the security of the hotel. You can’t access the building or pool area without a key card unless you enter through the main lobby, which made us feel safe during our stay. The location was another big plus. It’s a convenient distance from SeaWorld, which made getting back and forth very easy, especially when traveling with kids. My only complaint was that the hair dryer and coffee maker in our room did not work. Other than that, we had a great experience. Overall, it was a clean, safe, comfortable, and conveniently located hotel, and I would definitely stay here again when visiting SeaWorld! ⭐️"

"Beautiful property swimming was amazing. Everything was super clean. The unit we stayed in was nice except both of the toilets didn’t flush well. The lazy river is exceptional, but the tubes are not. They’re too small to comfortably sit in and rest back as an adult. Bring your own. We went on September 1 and they had already closed down many of the daily activities and the bar at the pool, which was a big disappointment. It was still 100° outside, so it was clearly still summer for many of us. But overall, it was an amazing place to go for a little vacation."
