Hey there. Are you looking to find a decent hotel? You're in luck, because I'm about to share with you exactly how to go about locating a decent San Antonio hotel. Just follow the steps, and apply.
Number 1: Your First Focus Should Be The Rooms - Now is this a big family vacation, or a "fun trip with the buddies". Are there any sort of children in the traveling group? If so, this changes things up a bit. Do you think the children are able to be in their own room without ripping each others throats? Or do they need to be with adults?
On the other hand, if this is a business trip, you want to first plan for executives. Your priority is to first see if you can book enough "executive quality" rooms for them, before anything else. And if there is going to be any sort of conferencing going on, obviously check if the hotel's conference room suits your needs.
Number 2: Be Clear On What You Require - If you don't know what you're looking for, you can't find it. Be sure to list out all that you need. You don't want to be sorry later and wishing you chose a better hotel. If your main imperative is tourism, find a hotel near the river-walk. This is where most of the tourist sights are located, or near to.
Now, for a business trip, it might be that you want to have a lot of different dinners, and hence want different types of restaurants. In this case, you want to find which hotels tend to be in the restaurant area of town. Hint, this is ussually the riverwalk hotels.
Number 3: Make them sell you on it - Go ahead and contact the hotels, and tell them you're not sure if you want to go there. Any decent hotel, the person answering will be enthusiastic to sell you on the hotel. If they're indifferent, then their service also probably sucks.
Number 4: Do some online research - You can go ahead and read some of the reviews online. Thankfully, there's tons of those about san antonio hotels. In fact, there's almost too many! My advice is to focus on reviews that are neither negative nor praising. Those tend to be indicative of the person (likes everything, or dislikes everything). Read the reviews that talk about both positives and negatives.
Number 5: Enjoy It
