Riverside Suites

This is a Wyndham operated timeshare that has been renovated to modern standards. Since it is a converted older building (originally a jail) the units are somewhat different than expected. I'm staying in one of the 5 or 6 penthouses on the 10th floor. It has a wide balcony overlooking the Riverwalk at the Bend. There is no better view. The unit is very comfortable around 1000 sq. ft., has 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, living room, & 3 bathrooms [all have whirlpools]. Landry's & Joe's Crab Shack are next door. Many other restaurants are a very short walk on the Riverwalk as is a large mall with Macy's. San Antonio is a charming city because of the Riverwalk. OK maybe the Alamo too. I strongly recommend Riverside Suites because of its proximity to the Riverwalk.

I rented this unit last year and received the following E-mail: "Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you about our stay in San Antonio. It was GREAT! We absolutely loved the Riverside Suites. I don't believe there is a better location to stay on the Riverwalk. I wish we could have stayed longer. I kidded with my husband that he could take a bus back to Orange and the kids and I would stay on thru Friday. I think that San Antonio is my "new favorite place". We went to Sea World on Monday, the weather was nice and it was not crowded at all. There were no lines or waiting for anything. We went to Hemisfair park that evening but it was way too crowded so we came back to the room and had the best view of the fireworks of anybody in San Antonio. We ate great food, had Starbucks every morning, saw the Alamo, rode the boats, ate at Hard Rock, County Line Bar-B-Q, went to the mall, had drinks at the little Jazz bar at the Hyatt, walked AT LEAST 5 miles each day and came in every night to the best rooms, with the most comfortable bed. In other words - a perfect vacation. The only thing that wasn't perfect is that my digital camera died the first day we were there and I couldn't find a replacement battery anywhere! We ended up buying a disposable camera but I wish mine would have worked! We left San Antonio on Wednesday, stayed 2 nights in Orange, then the kids and I headed home. We spent the night last night in Hattiesburg, MS which is the half-way point between Muscle Shoals and Orange, then came on home today. When we left here on the 27th I set the trip odometer on the car - when we pulled into the garage at 2:30 this afternoon the odometer was on 2,034. Needless to say - I am glad to be through with driving for a while! I work about 3 miles from my house and that is as far as I want to drive for a few weeks!! My husband's job in Orange is supposed to last another 18 months - and we all agreed that we will definitely go back to San Antonio at least once more while he is there. I would love to see it in the spring I think - I'll bet it is beautiful. The Christmas lights were gorgeous but I think I would love it ANY time. Thank you so much for your help and letting us use your week. It was WONDERFUL."
