What the numbers say
- • Staying on the River Walk costs more. The middle downtown/River Walk hotel was $683 for the spring break weekend, against $288 for the rest of the city. You can walk to the Alamo and the river from downtown; the others mean driving in.
- • Going to SeaWorld? The two west-side hotels near SeaWorld were about $368 for the spring weekend.
- • Budget for the fun, too. These are room prices only. Park tickets, parking and meals for four are extra.
- • Comparing a bigger trip? See Presidents' Week 2027 trip prices, a Branson weekend, or a Galveston cruise for a family of 4.
How we got these prices
One Expedia hotel search per weekend for San Antonio, TX, 2 adults with children aged 6 and 10, on October 22, 2026. We kept hotels with 100+ reviews that came back on at least two of the three weekends; a price more than double the same hotel's cheapest weekend is treated as a suite-only listing and left out. Hotels rated under 7 out of 10 are not shown. Vacation-rental condos are not included. That is the standard rate before member discounts. If you book through our advisor or an Expedia link on this page, we may earn a commission; your price is the same.
