melvinc Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 Having used this site before, I looked but didn't see any successes yet for the San Antonio Marathon weekend. (11/14 - 11/16) With 20,000+ runners, hopefully this post helps some fellow runners out! Have been looking at various hotel rates for that weekend - am running the full SA Marathon with 2 friends. Rates look to be $50-$100 higher than the last time I looked in early May, so looks like they know the heavy demand that weekend for the race. There were plenty of hotels that were already booked solid for that weekend, so we acted fast.Tried $100 and went up in $10 increments. Finally bid $140 and got the Marriott San Antonio Rivercenter. Didn't try any $5 increments, so looks like $140 is the current minimum bid for race weekend.I'm very excited - looks very nice and is in the heart of downtown. Should be a close walk back after we finish the race...cuz let's face it, it hurts to walk after running 26.2 miles. :)Mel
