Will Be Visiting.. Where to stay?

A friend & I will be visiting from Houston, sometime this week. Any suggestions on a good hotel/area? Places to avoid?

Hoping you have fun in San Antonio.

Gonna be a hot weekend, and, if you stay much of the next week plenty to do, too.

Sending you a pm with a suggestion or two, I am.
