Remodeled, convenient
Located on the bend of the San Antonio river walk, right next to the shops of La Villita, this Hilton has always been an easy choice. It just got better with a million-$ renovation of the rooms. They had been shabby chic. Now they are modern, classy, and even techie. A motion-sensor closet door turns on the light as you enter the room, and now there's a little refrig for the left-over enchiladas you'll not be able to leave on the restaurant table. A fun new feature: the elevators operate with a fast your-floor-only system. Ask and pay for (hey--it's why you're there) a river-side room, which has a balcony. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful.
