A well-located budget alternative to its full-service sister properties, the Marriott Plaza makes a comfortable base for exploring downtown San Antonio and its historic attractions. But it lacks some basic in-room amenities found in its competitors’ rooms. It's a good choice for business travelers, as it boasts 17 meeting spaces -- and a nice pool for unwinding.
Scene
Lush gardens (and a few animals) surround a large swimming pool at this small property.
The lobby of this Marriott is small, but welcoming and attractive. Surrounding the hotel are lots of nice green areas where pheasants and peacocks might be spotted.In a historic building next to the main lobby, you'll find a very well kept fitness center with a large outdoor swimming pool.Some of the rooms face the sprawling gardens and pool and all have balconies allowing you to take in the outdoor scene.
Location
Two blocks from the River Walk, across the street from Hemisfair Park
The San Antonio River Walk, a line of public walkways along the San Antonio River, is one of the most vibrant areas of the city, and is often called one of the top tourist attractions in all of Texas. For the foodies and partiers, Downtown/Riverwalk offers a plethora of restaurants, from all-vegetarian eateries, to pizza shops, to upscale five-star restaurants. One of the best aspects of Downtown/Riverwalk is that it can easily be explored by foot.- 15-minute drive to San Antonio International Airport
