wow. $209 a night AND UP! i've never known a marriott to be *that* nice before. internet connectivity is *extra* - another gouge.
The Marriott is on the Riverwalk, and Riverwalk hotels are in big demand most of the time. They can almost charge what they want.
Not to mention it's in the heart of a major city.
Like with any hotel, however, the price listed online isn't necessarily hard and fast - call and talk to someone live and see what you can find out if you want to stay there.
By the way, there are a couple of hotels on the Riverwalk that make $209-300 seem cheap.
There are a few hotels (La Quinta and others) that are within walking distance of the Alamodome, and San Antonio has a trolly system that will take you to any of the attractions and/or hotels around downtown, the Riverwalk, MArket Square, etc......
