We didn't get a reduced rate with OMNIZOO, so this review may be a little jaded.
It's a nice hotel, very clean and spacious with efficient service. We had a deluxe king, which was ok but the rooms (in particular the bathroom) seemed surprisingly small. If you're going as a couple, a double double might offer more space. Try to get a south facing room on the upper floors - the views are very impressive.
It's a conference hotel, and we were there during two conferences and a wedding. It was very busy and seemed impersonal as a result.
It's about 15 minutes from the Riverwalk, which is an expensive cab ride. On the plus side though, parking at the hotel (non-valet) is free and that's a big saving on a more central hotel.
To be honest, I think the reviews on Tripadvisor heap too much praise on this hotel. As a result, it left me disappointed. Had I not read the reviews, I'd have enjoyed this hotel much more.
Having said that, we plan to stay here again for our next trip to San Antonio. It's excellent value, and does exactly what you'd expect from a luxury hotel chain such as Omni. It delivers on every count, and to a very high standard too.
