Weekend getaway
The room was good and the location was great. TV reception was very poor. We did not watch a lot of tv but if something important was on then it would have been disappointing. Hotel parking is very expensive

Park the car at the hotel and leave it there. It is easier to get a cab if the distance is a little longer than walking because parking is very expensive.

Weekend Getaway
My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night so we could visit the river walk and go to a basketball game. We really enjoyed our stay. Great view on the 31st floor of San Antonio. My only complaint was that there was not an ice bucket in our room. I always like to get ice when i stay at a hotel. This really wasn't a huge deal, but it would have been nice. The hotel was really quiet and the bar downstairs was full of people at night, so we enjoyed sitting down there and people watching over a few drinks. All in all it was a great time.

New Year's Eve
The staff was very helpful and friendly. My only disappointment was the size of the room and bathroom. We have stayed here before and had a much larger room and bathroom. But guess I can't complain too much as it was New Year's eve and the hotel was full. We did have a good view of the riverwalk.

Marriott Rivercenter
We opted to upgrade to a suite and found it extremely roomy for 2 adults and 3 kids ages 16, 14 and 5. We ordered a roll away bed and there was enough room for everyone and no one was cramped in a corner like we have found sometimes at other hotels. The staff was wonderful and our 5 year old smashed her fingers in the door as we were preparing to leave and the staff was kind enough to get her an ice pack for our ride home. The breakfast buffet was even delicious- some hotels only have fair buffet's but the Marriott had a great variety and it was fresh.

The Riverway Mall is attached to the hotel and we were able to do some last minute Christmas shopping without having to find a parking place or to even go outside in the cold weather! It was great.

Great Hotel
Nice place, highly recommend. However, we booked a king room on Orbitz but got stuck with a Double Room. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant...It was excellent!

The Hotel was a typical Marriott hotel, very nice and clean. We spent most of our time site seeing and walking around. We like the fact that the hotel is attached to the Rivercenter Mall. Hotel is centrally located to almost everything you would do in San Antonio. I travel a lot and my only compliant about a full service Marriott hotel is that they don't offer a fridge, microwave, or kitchen conveniences. Other smaller hotels offer this and its nice to have a fridge and stuff for snacks and drinks. The hotel prices are outrageous for their snacks and drinks. I can say that I have never stayed at a bad Marriott yet. I love getting points too,, but some Marriott's won't let you collect points if reservations are made from [...]or other online travel sites.

Pretty Good
Since we booked thru [...]we were able to park free at the hotel which saved a lot of money. The great thing about the hotel is that it is connected to the RiverCenter mall & River so you don't have to drive around alot. The rooms are kind of small, but not a big deal since we planned on being out of the room most of the time. The bed was super comfy!
