We booked this hotel through Priceline and was a bit disappointed that it wasn't directly on the Riverwalk. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the warmth of the lobby and the character of the hotel grounds. The rooms were larger than we are accustomed to and the courtyard was lush and well-maintained. The grounds had character with multiple older houses converted into reception halls, work-out facilities, etc. The beautiful birds roaming the courtyard added to the ambiance - not your standard cookie-cutter hotel. The hotel staff was always friendly and helpful. The proximity to the Rivercenter Mall, La Villita Market, and Hemisfair Park make the fact that you are not directly on the Riverwalk seem inconsequential. We truly didn't miss a thing. The rooms were VERY clean with up-to-date furnishings and very comfortable bedding.
The only negatives were: stuffy corridors (no a/c?), high-priced parking ($25/day or $19/day self.....this may be the norm for the area?) and really slow elevators.
We will definitely return to Marriott Plaza!
