Frommer's Review
Serious retail hounds will find heaven in this glitzy conventioneer
high-rise, where they can shop more than 100 Rivercenter emporiums until
they're ready to drop, and then collapse back into their hotel rooms without
ever leaving the mall. Sightseers will be happy here, too, with a cruise
along the River Walk departing from the mall's downstairs "dock," and the
Alamo and HemisFair Park are just a few blocks away.
Convenience is definitely the goal here -- free washers and dryers on the
same floor as the health club let you bicycle while your clothes cycle.
Guest rooms have an earth-toned, simple elegance, and many afford
spectacular River Walk or city views. If you find all this convenience --
and the bustle that goes along with it -- a bit overwhelming, an option is
to stay at the smaller Marriott Riverwalk across the street. This slightly
older and less expensive sister hotel has equally comfortable
Southwest-style rooms, and its guests have access to all the facilities of
the Rivercenter.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; indoor pool; outdoor pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna;
concierge; car-rental desk; business center; wi-fi; 24-hr. room service;
