Two Hotel Options, etc.

For either hotel choice, if you plan on arriving earlier than the planned dates or extending your stay, let the hotel know, because you may be able to get a discount for those nights other than the ones I negociated.

Any hotel directly on the riverwalk is very pricey, and even hotels close to the airport are almost as expensive as one downtown. I called so many places, and based on a combination of rate and location, these I feel are the best bets.

Google Maps of two hotel locations


Hotel 1: Fairfield Inn & Suites San Antonio Downtown/Market Square
620 South Santa Rosa, San Antonio, TX, 78204

This hotel is close to the riverwalk, El Mercado, and the King William historic neighborhood.

The standard room has two double beds; the suites have 1 king bed and a living area.
Included is a hot continental breakfast, free parking, and the plus of being walking distance to lots of downtown things without being overly expensive.

To reserve Fairfield Inn: Call (800) 228-2800 and ask for the Diaz Family Reunion rate.

Hotel 2: Days Inn Downtown Riverwalk (a misleading moniker--read below)
1500 I-35 South, San Antonio, TX, 78204

This motel is pretty close to hotel #1, and is less expensive. It is downtown, but not on the riverwalk.

However, does include a hot continental breakfast, is right next to I-35, and also includes smoking rooms if you want to reserve one of those instead. See rates below.

To reserve Days Inn: Call 210-424-0115 Direct Sales Office and ask for the Diaz Family Reunion Group rate.

If not during business hours, call the sales manager's cell and leave a detailed message and she will get back to you:

Additional Options:
The Fairfield Inn is next to two other Marriot hotels listed below, in case you are more interested in one of them--they are pricier, not part of the Diaz discount package, BUT do feature different amenities:

Marrriot Courtyard--king suites and doubles
Residence Inn--includes kitchenettes

King William Bed and Breakfasts:
For a more unique stay while in San Antonio, you could also try a B & B in nearby King William Historical district. This neighborhood is also very close to the two hotel options (walking distance to the Fairfield Inn), and very beautiful.

Try the BnB Finder/San Antonio for some choices.
