All are near the famous RiverWalk area downtown. Bargain hunters will want to stay at the LaQuinta or TRU by Hilton. Where to stay: I stayed at the Grand Hyatt one night and the Marriott River Center the other four. You can take VIA all around the city and they have two cultural buses to all the attractions. Getting there: I paid just $200 on Southwest Airlines round trip to SAT (the airport code for the city airport).
