Residence Inn by Marriott San Antonio Six Flags® at The RIM
Four minutes from the gates, a kitchen in every room
About this hotel
This Residence Inn sits at The Rim, the shopping and dining district directly across the interchange from the Six Flags Fiesta Texas entrance, about four minutes' drive from the gates and the closest breakfast-included property in this cluster. Free breakfast covers the morning, while a kitchen in every room lets a family cook a few dinners in rather than eating out through an entire multi-night stay. The outdoor pool gives the kids an afternoon option once the family is back from the park, and The Rim's restaurants sit within a short walk once the car is parked for the night. For a family wanting near-instant access to the gates without giving up the ability to cook, this is the closest match in the cluster.

Our take
This suits a family who wants both proximity to the gates and the ability to cook a few meals in, a combination that's rare this close to the park. The four-minute drive is about as short as it gets in this cluster. It's a suite-style layout rather than a standard hotel room, worth knowing if a family prefers a simpler setup.
- ✓Use the kitchen for at least a couple of dinners; it's a genuine saving this close to a tourist corridor.
- ✓Walk to The Rim's restaurants on a night you don't want to cook, since it's just across the interchange.
- ✓Book well ahead of summer weekends, since this is the closest breakfast-included property to the park gates.

Why guests love itFour minutes from the gates meant we were parked before the lot filled most mornings, and having a kitchen for two dinners in kept a five-night trip's budget from spiralling the way our last water park stay did. The Rim's restaurants covered the nights we didn't want to cook, all within a short walk of the room, and the suite layout gave the kids their own space once the day's energy finally ran out.
