Hey ho Fodorite Friends! Happy New Year!

I'm planning a get-away for my 3 granddaughters (8, 10, 11), my adult daughter, and me to San Antonio for spring break.

I really would like to stay somewhere close to the center of the action, and a balcony looking onto the Riverwalk would be icing on the cake. But I'm not sure I can find the right accommodation for all of us. Ideally, a two-bedroom suite with a living area/pull out couch would be perfect.

When I look at "suite" hotels, most use that term as one bedroom/one living area. If I have to do two rooms, then I have to do two rooms. But one of my granddaughters snores like a freight train.. oh, ok, I DO!!! So, we insist on separate sleeping quarters.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

We stayed at the Marriott Rivercenter and really liked it a lot. The location is fantastic, right on the River Walk and close to the spot where the little river barges dock. We stayed on points and got upgraded to a nice suite. It may be pricey, not sure since we stayed on points, but I would recommend the hotel. I don't believe they have balconies though, but the views are nice.

thx volcanogirl. I'll check it out!

I stayed at Homewood Suites in September 2014. It might be perfect for your family group. It has breakfast included and weeknight light (and not that great) supper - but free wine, beer and a frozen margarhita machine from 5-7 PM. Different size suites. On the end of the RiverWalk - but within walking distance to everything. Service was excellent. Valet parking only, but there is a cheaper city lot within a half block. No balcony, but that might be noisy. (I have a review on TripAdvisor with more details).

I just booked at the TownePlace Suites. It's within walking distance of the Alamo and Riverwalk. Breakfast included. AAA rate was $111 plus $25 to park for the end of April. We got a one king suite with a sofa bed. It has good reviews on TripAdvisor so I"m hoping I made a good choice.

thanks, all. Looks like I'm going to have to delay this trip. Just found out my nephew is graduating from Marine Corps boot camp that same weekend, so off to San Diego instead of San Antonio.

I know, who would complain about San Diego? I'm not complaining- I'm just bummed that I won't get to spend four days with my granddaughters. They were looking forward to it. But this nephew's father was my brother who passed in 2000. So I need to be there.

Thanks again. I will keep these in mind when I do get this scheduled!
