You didn't mention trading one of your weeks for Marriott Rewards Points (MRP's). Both the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter and the Riverwalk hotels are Category 6 and require 30,000 MRP's per night. However, when we use MRP points for Marriott hotels, we use points for 4 nights and get the 5th night free. I suggest you call Marriott Owner Services and determine the point yield in MRP's for one timeshare week and then compare to your other alternatives. Owner Services personnel will also help you figure out the best deal to meet your needs.
Congratulations on your Son's impending graduation.
