The best hotel is the Drury Plaza Hotel on the riverwalk. They will upgrade your hotel room at no charge and breakfast is included. There breakfast is very good. Also, they have free cokes, snacks, and my favorite free alcohol in the afternoon. It saves alot of money because my kids stayed hungry. The hotel has a secured exit to the Riverwalk because there are alot of homeless people that hang around the riverwalk. YOu have to pay for valet parking $18 per night, but it is well worth it.
