Be sure to take note of the Plaza Riverwalk's lobby. It was built in 1929, the heyday of exuberance.
Star Service "While demanding travelers will want to stick with the usual suspects—Westin, Menger, Hotel Valencia and Omni La Mansion del Rio, budgeters looking for value cannot go wrong here.

Gayot "The location couldn't be better for guests doing business downtown. It is also ideal for those visiting historic city sights."
Fodor's "One of the best values among River Walk hotels, the Drury Inn & Suites is in the landmark Petroleum Commerce Building on the riverfront." Full review

Ask for a room with a terrace overlooking the river.
Frommer's "Both the grand high-ceilinged design and the prime location are not what you’d expect from moderately priced digs, where a hot breakfast and happy-hour snacks and drinks are included in the room rate. " Full review

Star Service "Across from Six Flags and 15 miles north of downtown, this place, previously a Westin, rests atop the area's highest hilltop on the site of what was once a limestone quarry (cantera in Spanish)." Full review

The whole family can have fun at the waterslide's ice-cream-sundae classes, basketball and sidewalk chalk sessions while others may choose to stroll the 1-mile nature trail filled with quarry rock, native plants and other Texas wildlife.
Gayot "Rolling hills set the scene for this destination resort. The setting is a favorite with golfers for its scenic, Arnold Palmer-designed course, the first in South Texas."

And as is the case during moments like these, call ahead to make sure that progress won't interrupt your stay.

Fodor's "Make a list of the things you'd look for in a luxury, full-service resort, and La Cantera has it." Full review
Frommer's "Grander and more upscale than the other resorts on the outskirts of San Antonio, La Cantera is a magnet for golfers, shoppers, lovers, girlfriends seeking a luxe getaway—and families who can afford it (along with a variety of kid-friendly features and programs, the resort’s partnership with BabyQuip means you can rent high-quality cribs, strollers, and other gear on-site)" Full review
Lonely Planet "Standard rooms are elegant but on the small side, so you'll enjoy this resort most if you're willing to get out." Full review
