To answer other common questions:
Q) Will my credit/debit card be charged when I reserve a room?
A) Your credit card will not be charged when you reserve your hotel room. It will only be charged when you arrive at the convention hotel OR if you don’t show up for your reservation (so be sure to cancel if necessary).
Q) How much is parking around the area?
A) Parking is $5-$15 for open area parking and $10-$25/day for garage parking.
Q) How much is the total cost per room night with tax?
A) San Antonio Sales & Hotel Tax is 16.75% added to the final bill. It comes to around $127 a night. So if you’re staying for two nights, it’ll cost around $255; three nights, around $381; and four nights around $510 to help you with the math if you’re planning to share a room amongst several friends. This is still the cheapest room rate in the area as hotels in the immediate vicinity are around $160+ a night before taxes (and that’s just at the La Quinta that is 2 blocks away).
Q) What stores are at the Rivercenter Mall? What is there to eat there?

There is a River Taxi service a short distance from the hotel located on the Riverwalk by the mall which costs $5 each way or $10-$15 for a 24 hour pass. The Alamo, Hemisphere Park with the Alamo Tower, and Ripley’s Believe Or Not are all located within a mile radius of the hotel.

A) There is a Denny’s across the street from the hotel. A Starbuck’s is located in the hotel on the lobby floor.

If you click on any number higher then the Grand Hyatt will be charging you extra $10 per guest ($119/2 people, $129/3 people, $139/4 people). We will not be inquiring on how many guests actually stay in your hotel room nor is it our business. Our only business is to ensure you have a great time at San Japan.
Q) Am I required to reserve and/or stay at the Hotel in order to attend San Japan?
A) No, you are not required to reserve or stay at the Hotel. However, it is quite beneficial for San Japan if you decide to reserve a room as we are required to fill a certain amount of hotel rooms in order to have access to the function space. To ensure that San Japan is able to hold future conventions at the hotel & convention center, we highly recommend in considering to reserve a room at the hotel.
