Where to Stay When Visiting USAA (San Antonio)
USAA's headquarters is in Northwest San Antonio, in the Medical Center district. Book near the campus, not by reflex — the hotels that matter are right there.
USAA is a financial-services and insurance group serving current and former U.S. military members and their families, headquartered at 9800 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78288. That's the South Texas Medical Center in northwest San Antonio — a dense cluster of hospitals, offices, and business hotels off I-10 and Loop 410, about 20 minutes from downtown and the River Walk.
“USAA runs from the Medical Center in northwest San Antonio — not downtown. Book NW near the campus and leave the River Walk to the tourists.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
San Antonio International (SAT) is the city's only commercial airport and it's close — about 15 minutes east of the Medical Center. There's no reason to look at Austin; SAT handles everything.
