There are a dozen or so hotels on the Riverwalk and an equal number wishing a few blocks. What type of budget do you have for accommodations.
Likewise there are dozens upon dozens of restaurants on or near the Riverwalk. What type of food do you like? What budget range?

There's a great little barge/boat tour of the River Walk that gives you the history of the area. We always do that when we're in town. We stay at the Marriott Rivercenter because we have points there. Boudro's is a great place to grab lunch or dinner - right on the river, and they have good tableside guacamole and prickly pear margaritas. Guenther House is a neat spot for breakfast. And of course you have to visit the Alamo.

Also there's a newish hotel, Hotel Emma, that's supposed to be spectacular. A few of our friends have stayed there, and they've all loved it. Might be pricey though. The McNay art museum is nice. We also did a Segway tour that was fun - went through the pretty King William historical district.

Years ago, I took my parents to San Antonio and we stayed at the Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk. We got a suite on the corner and had an awesome view. It was a bit out from most of the action on the river walk but not too far for it to be an issue.

If you have a car, I really enjoyed the San Antonio Missions National Park. It is easy to hit all of them in a day, but seeing just a couple is also nice. They are really interesting and they give you good insight into the Spanish colonial history that includes the Alamo. The Guenther House was also a favorite of mine.

Thank all of you so much for the suggestions and links! I think I have a good idea of where to stay and what to do - also some good restaurant possibilities. I've planned two trips to England based solely on this site - what a wonderful resource!

If you want to take a little day trip, the town of Gruene is awesome - the Grist Mill is a great little restaurant there, and there are antique shops, wine tasting, etc. It also has the oldest dance hall in Texas, and sometimes they have live music there.

The prickly pear margaritas at Boudro's are worth our 4 hour drive to San Antonio!
Another favorite for food is Azuca. I prefer to go at lunch when it is quiet. If you want salsa dancing lessons, go at dinnertime.
Check out the mariachi mass at kne of the misdions in eady driving distance.
