Aiden San Antonio Riverwalk
Everything was great. Room was nice, staff was friendly. The only draw back is the parking, $30 is a little ridiculous.

Staybridge Suites San Antonio Downtown Conv Ctr by IHG
Clean and spacious rooms, in the closest location you can get to the Alamodome! The hotel’s designated parking lot is right in front of the main entrance of the Alamodome. Truly perfect location! And the front desk staff were very helpful!

Comfort Suites Alamo - Riverwalk
Super great staff the breakfast is amazing very clean. They only thing I really don’t like is that you have to pay for parking because why does the hotel not have free parking for that price of stay?
