I just don't like your evidence.
"The size of the lot is small"..."The W isn't the end all in expensive hotel chains"..."The W in San Diego is cheaper than the Westin in San Antonio"..."I think 7 floors were for hotels and 20 floors were for residence" (no information on this project is out at all)
It isn't the "end all in hotel chains", but it is Class A hotel space and DT San Antonio doesn't have much of that. The hotel market is going downhill in the U.S right now and people are traveling less. The conventions are where people are travelling. This project would likely cause a 33% rise in class A hotel space downtown within that climate and might not be able to stay open.
