Started bidding at $41, adding zones and incrementing by $5, going for 4* in Riverwalk area. Got the Emily Morgan when I reached $66

Just got back from our trip. The Emily Morgan was a fantastic hotel for our group. We were assigned a single queen room but asked for a double-double (we had kids with us) and they upgraded us (it is an upgrade if you look at their retail prices for these rooms) no questions asked. We ended up in a beautiful 6th floor room in the corner of the wedge-shaped hotel with windows directly overlooking the Alamo. The room was large.

We parked a few blocks away in a city-run indoor parking garage on St. Mary's Street. Another option slightly closer would have been the one on Houston St. Both are easy walking distance from the hotel. There is 15 minute unloading at the curb so we easily registered and ran our stuff up to the room, then drove to the parking and walked back. Valet parking was about $28 compared to the $9 (cash needed) we paid for city parking.

Breakfast buffet is about $14 at the hotel; we ate at a hole-in-the-wall Mexican cafe on Commerce near the Market Square for about $17 for the 4 of us, enjoying delicious homemade tortillas made into breakfast tacos.

Bottomline: you can do this quite affordably with a little effort.

Thank you for the follow-up review! :) Glad to hear that you had a very nice stay at this property and were able to get a double-double room.
