Holiday Inn Express San Antonio Rivercenter Area by IHG
Clean room. Good breakfast. Close to downtown. The hot tub was very dirty but the pool was nice until several people started jumping in off the side, creating big waves in a small space. Overall nice experience.

Cityview Inn & Suites Downtown RiverCenter Area
Hyper vigilant staff made sure we had to walk almost off the property to have a smoke. It was okay... clean. My big problem was no chair to sit on inside and outside. Laying in bed for 2 days gets old quick with a bad back. Food delivery was good, bus stop nearby and close to the Amtrak Station.
