Sonesta ES Suites San Antonio Downtown Alamo Plaza
Any concerns we had were quickly resolved, the only drawback was the crush of everybody checking out at 11am picking up valet cars at the same time. Lots of cars, lots of guests, and just a couple of guys running back-and-forth. They worked hard.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Wild Oak Ranch, San Antonio
Nice room with kitchenette/ coffee. Hard to get the water to heat up in shower though. The sheets were low quality, bed was comfortable other than the itchy sheets.
