Hotel Valencia Riverwalk
The hotel itself was very nice and good location. Very walkable area. Didnt appreciate the "destination fees" added to bill when checking out. This forces you to eat at the hotel restaurant or forfeit your money allocated daily for these fees. Also, room was immaculate and cleaned first day/night ...

Crockett Hotel
It's a historic hotel so don't expect the same as a brand new hotel, but room prices are more reasonable and still comfortable. Tavern downstairs was excellent, very convenient. Park at Convention Center for $10 per night and save valet fee.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Wild Oak Ranch, San Antonio
The doors were noisy when closing. One morning the groundskeeper was running a leaf blower at 6 am outside our bedroom window. During checking we were very tired from the flight and were hit up with high pressure sales personnel trying to sell us a time-share ; an insult to a long day of travel.
