Last week was spring break for the boys. We did not have any big travel plans or really any plans at all for the week. We are taking our big travel vacation this July hopefully (more on that as we plan it out). The boys were asking if we were going to go anywhere so I decided to jump on the internet and look for some hotel deals in San Antonio. We wanted a hotel with an indoor pool so the boys could go swimming without becoming popsicles. I found a really good deal on Expedia for the Drury Plaza on the Riverwalk – a King Suite (aka separate sleeping area and bed for mom and dad) for under $135. The hotel also had a hot food buffet from 5:30pm until 7pm and each adult gets a drink card for three “adult” drinks a night, and hot breakfast bar in the morning. The money we saved on dinner and breakfast certainly made up for the little higher price we paid for the room.
The hotel and our room was beautiful! The Drury Plaza is in the old Alamo Bank building which they remodeled and turned into the hotel. The outdoor heated pool is on the 22nd floor and the indoor pool is in the San Fernando building on the 9th floor. Each pool has hot tubs by them and patios with great views. The food was great as was the service throughout our stay. Our room was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Large, spacious, comfy beds and pillows. Boys said the pullout was comfortable, two nice LCD in each sleeping area, desk with wifi access for work and a balcony with a great view!
The only odd thing was the slightly long/confusing walk to our room. It was in the other half of the hotel so we took the elevator to the 6th floor then walked a bit to another elevator to get to the 14th floor. Location was prime – we walked out of the hotel and onto the Riverwalk. Mall was within a mile of our hotel and plenty of eating and drinking establishments with .2 miles.
Valet parking is $18/night but there are other parking areas that are close, however the pricing for those is about the same amount. Next time we do a small minication to San Antonio we will certainly be back at the Drury Plaza!
