We will be going through San Antonio at the end of the month. The family wants to spend a little time at the Alamo and Riverwalk. We have not been there in about 10 years, and that was only for a short time. I'm wondering about the public parking nearby (I know we'll have to pay for it). Decent hotels are expensive on the Riverwalk, of course, and most of them charge for parking anyway. So, we were thinking of getting a hotel room out of the immediate area, and just using the public parking areas when we go to the Alamo and Riverwalk. Can anyone who has been there recently tell me if the parking areas are secure, and if you would recommend using them? Thanks!
