Elmendorf Travel Guide

The "beautiful setting" "on the tail end of the Riverwalk" ("quiet at night, but still walkable to all the hoopla") is the main "attraction" of this chain outpost that "personalizes" the "fantastic Westin name" "with Southern charm" and "generous hospitality"; the "spacious" rooms are "outstanding" (especially those "overlooking" the river) and while the food "could be better", "there are lots of restaurants within minutes" (and plans for a new on-site eatery).

"A beautiful lady to stay with", this "charming" all-suite newcomer boasts "stunning", "European"-style accommodations with "separate living areas"; those who "love every minute of it" say the extra room makes it "fine for a family", while "live music in the bar" and a "rooftop pool" mean it's "suitable for a romantic getaway" as well; with a "premier location" "on the south end of the Riverwalk", you "don't need a car" to reach "dining, the Alamo and museums" – and you can avoid the "expensive" valet parking that way.

Even though it's "a short drive from Downtown San Antonio", this "gorgeous" "countryside" resort on a 100-year-old cattle ranch "is a destination in itself" where "great golf", a "gracious spa facility", "one of the best lazy river pools" "for kids" and hayrides make it a "favorite family getaway"; rooms are "nothing special", but "fantastic amenities", decent fare and "enthusiastic service" elicit a hearty "eye-haw" – just "don't go unless you have children" or don't mind a place "overrun" with them.
