Affordable and romantic weekend getaways serve to relax and rejuvenate you and the one you love. Being near the water can set the mood for romantic feelings and thoughts. Water and wind bring forth a feeling of balance in the elements and good feng shui. A common characteristic of The Inn at Craig Place, Holiday Inn Historic District, and Castle on the Hudson is all accommodations are near a body of water to set a perfect romantic aura.

The Inn at Craig Place

In good weather, visitors are drawn to the San Antonio River Walk for a romantic stroll. Along the river are restaurants such as County Line Bar-B-Q and Rio Rio Cantina. Within minutes of these is the 116-year-old home, The Inn at Craig Place, known for its romantic rooms. Select from rooms with names such as "Barefoot Dreams," "Serenity," "Happily Ever After," or "Once Upon a Dream." All are uniquely appointed with stately fabrics, down pillows and blankets, soothing room colors and well chosen accents, fireplaces and in-suite tubs. Your complimentary three-course breakfast is served in your suite. Guest suites include complimentary local calls and high-speed Internet access, complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks and light snacks, and access to an off-site fitness center. You can have baked cookies and evening chocolates delivered to your room to make your affordable and romantic weekend getaway complete.
