Great Views of San Antonio
This is a large convention hotel located adjacent to a downtown shopping mall, the River Walk, and just a few blocks from the Alamo. This is a large tower on the edge of downtown (in the direction of the Tower of the Americas) and my room had a beautiful view of the city. The room was large with the furnishings and amenities fairly typical of nicer Marriotts. The hotel is sort of on the edge of the tourist district so you will need to walk a few blocks to be in the middle of the restaurant/entertainment district, but it's a fairly short walk. The walk may seem longer in the summer, though, so being able to duck directly into the mall for restaurants such as Mortons and Fogo de Chao is a real plus.
