Japanese Botanic Garden was like heaven in real life...
The walk along the river in San Antonio makes for a great walk or bike ride. Goes on for many miles
Japanese Tea Garden. This is my second trip back since 2012 and i gotta say, this place never ceases to amaze me! It's just Beautiful!!
Mission Concepcion is a great low-key mission to visit.  It's in a neighborhood / light commercial area and is still a functioning church.  It is also the closest mission to downtown San Antonio except for the Alamo. There is no fence around Mission Concepcion and can be visited any time of day.  Be sure to visit the other missions as well as they each offer a unique experience.

Nice location and nice rooms. The lobby smells amazing so I was hopeful that the lotion and shampoo/conditioner would as well. Not so much. The lotion smelled old so that was disappointing. Otherwise, we had a good stay and would recommend.

Other than that it was excellent. I would definitely go ...
