Drury Inn & Suites San Antonio Riverwalk/Drury Plaza Riverwalk

Both of these properties occupy old San Antonio skyscrapers. Rooms at the Inn & Suites can have river views (for which you pay a little extra) and are a little smaller than their counterparts at the Plaza Riverwalk, which run about $10 more. Some offer good views of San Fernando Cathedral, which looks lovely at night. I'm not a fan of the way guest rooms are decorated at Drury Inns, but this chain does a good job of offering comfort and location at a good price. The suites are a worth the extra money. Both properties have direct access to the River Walk and have preserved the original lobbies. Be sure to take note of the Plaza Riverwalk's lobby. It was built in 1929, the heyday of exuberance right before the big stock market crash -- 50-foot ceilings, travertine marble, gold accents -- it's a magnificent vision.
