We stayed here in February 2010 for a weekend. We had tickets to a show at the Majestic Theater and chose the Valencia because it is only a block down Houston. We got the Theater lovers' package, which included dinner at Citrus. (Reservations were still required at Citrus, even though we had booked the package, FYI.) Only complaint about Citrus was that the tables are way too close to each other. We sat near a table of four and it felt like we were all at the same table. Not conducive to intimacy. Hotel itself is beautiful. Yes, it is dark, but that is the atmosphere they are going for. I don't recommend this hotel for kids, although we saw some kids staying there. The bed was nice and comfy, the bathroom nicely appointed and everything was immaculately clean. We used the valet parking, which is free if you eat in Citrus. Very prompt when we called for our car. The hotel is on the "deserted" end of the San Antonio Riverwalk, meaning, very quiet. If you want more excitement, or to be closer to the fun on the RW, then stay elsewhere. But for quiet, the Valencia is the place to stay. It's a little more expensive than some other locations, but well worth it.

Liked: The hotel was elegant but not too posh. It allowed for great views of the Riverwalk.

Great Stay!

Liked: Staff was friendly from the front desk to the bar area. Big rooms, with comfortable beds. When I arrived at the room a bottle of wine was waiting for me, as I am a part of their VIP program. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Liked: Everything in walking distance
Disliked: On site it says private valet parking when we got there parking was $38 per day. Basic ammenitys not available like refrigerator and microwave. So much homelessness in the area constantly being panhandled.

Fabulous

Liked: Everything else was fine..
Disliked: The positioning of A/C vents the room had a hard time of cooling down, especially when trying to sleep.

Okay

Liked: I love the location
Disliked: I don?t like that we don?t have a parking lot, we have to use the valet parking service and they scratch my car
