I've never been lucky enough to win a bid or express deal for the Omni. I've heard wonderful things about it but can't say from personal experience if other hotels will match up to it. When I've bid and also done the express deals for 4* riverwalk hotels, I've always gotten the prices between $79 and $110. We've stayed at the Hyatt Riverwalk (this is by far the kids favorite bc the windows are floor to ceiling and look out over the atrium and our fave bc it's close to the Alamo and mall), the Hilton Palacio Del Rio (not our favorite - all around bad experience and lack of customer service to make things right at this particular hotel) and the Grand Hyatt (which is farther away from the Riverwalk and we don't think as nice as the Hyatt Riverwalk). I don't know if you've also taken into account that the parking downtown is pricey (I've heard a lot of people complaining about parking prices). I think we typically pay about $27 or so to valet (some hotels are valet only). There's a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal of $126/nt for a 4* Riverwalk, guest rating 8.0, amenities include (pool, restaurant, fitness center, business center, free internet) and bed choice for $126. My guess would be the Hyatt Riverwalk for this one but I could be wrong - A couple months ago we booked for a stay in November and got the Hyatt Riverwalk (the amenities and everything looks the same).
