Staybridge Suites San Antonio Downtown Conv Ctr by IHG
The staff was friendly and helpful at all times! The only negative I would describe is the location of the pool. It's a spotless area, but unfortunately, it's near a major highway.

Holiday Inn Express San Antonio Rivercenter Area by IHG
Rode in on Amtrak and it's a very short walk from the Amtrak station to the holiday inn rivercenter. We came in around 11 pm but still felt safe waiting to check in. Very friendly staff and excellent clean and spacious rooms. We will definitely return when back in San Antonio
